Sleep Apnea--comments?

[learnteach]

Sleep apnea--last night, the third person in recent times asked me if I had gone and checked for sleep apnea.  Sigh.  Time to stop being a martyr and go fight the system to see a doctor.  Of course, the fact that I'm waking up several times a night to urinate (when I don't need to urinate as much during the day), the spells of sleepyness and irritability (which I attribute to school based depression) and the excess weight I have and lack of exercise, combined with the fact that one of my brothers has a CPAP for his apnea...hmm.

Any help/notes any of my friends can give me?

If you think you have apnea, get it checked out. If they recommend a machine for you, give it a try.

From the very first day I got a CPAP, I fell in love with it, and wouldn't trade it for the world. It made a *huge* difference in my life, immediately.
