How did you score on this test before ?
Do you think I should still be checked up for apnea? |
I never thought I had sleep apnea because I was tired, but I never dozed off. I exadurated how tired I was because I wanted to get the sleep study so I could rule apnea out, but when the test results came back, I found out I stopped breathing 21 times an hour. I couldn't believe it! I would just get the sleep study if I were you. That's the only way to really tell. It's a physical blockage and if you have it, it can cause high blood pressure, heart problems, and even death. A pro football player just died from it. It can be very dangerous. Hopefully, if you have it, it's only mild. It's easier to cure the more mild it is.
My brother just got tested and we think he might have it too. We'll know on Monday.
