Re: Home from sleep study and discouraged

[Guest guest]

,

Don't rely on what the technician says. Wait until you see your

pulmonologist. The same thing happened to me and my pulmonologist found

a mild case of sleep apnea with obstruction due to weight issues. That

was reason enough to put me on a C-PAP. Be open with him...sleep (or

lack of) effects our quality of life and if that isn't a co-morbidity I

don't know what is. Good luck and keep pushing forward. It will

happen!!
