Re: Latest Doc App't; Pickwickian syndrome

[Guest guest]

Pickwickan Syndrome is when a person has so much

excess fat that it makes it difficult to breath

properly. It affects a person to the point that they

have trouble getting enough oxygen. This will make

someone very run down and tired. When severe enough,

it could cause death.

I did some research on it just recently. I just did a

sleep study and this is what I think they found. I get

the offical news from my neurologist Sept 17. I did a

search on dogpile.com and found information on it.

My symptoms are a lot like sleep apnea, but I don't

actually stop breathing and I can't get enough air in

the day time either. The result is I am always very

tired, I have severe headaches, and my heart beats too

fast.

Hope that helps, I don't have anything bookmarked on

it or I'd send the links.
