Well,
It all came to a head on a skiing trip when friends couldn't sleep in the
same room as me. I was that bad. They described it to a bunch of nurses we
got together with and they said I had apnea.
I wasn't heavily overweight then and the throat doctor said it could not be
down to that. He said
Insurance covers it, after the deductible. I had to go through sleep tests - one last week to determine if I really have sleep apnea, and one tonight (called titration) I think it measures how much air you need.
The one thing about this is that I usually feel like my nasal passageways are
se to electrically-powered pump
which delivers calibrated amount of pressure through nose all night to treat
Sleep Apnea - cessation of breathing due to collapse of soft tissues in
airway. Think of it as an "air splint" in the breathing passages.
