Sleep Center Called

May 23, 2014

Sitting at the breakfast table this morning enjoying my morning coffee and making my wife's lunch for the day,  I got the call from the sleep center with  the results of my test.  As we knew I do have sleep apnea. In a lighter sleep I was having breathing difficulty of 10-12 times an hour half breaths and some stop breathing all together breaths. In REM sleep it was 50 times an hour. So yes I knew I had it. I've woken up with headaches for 20 years or more and dry mouth constantly in the mornings. I guess I was hoping I was fooling myself that I didnt really have it due to my weight. I go back for another sleep study on June 11th with the cpap machine to see how I do. All the more reason to have this surgery and try to get me and my life back under my control instead of  food controlling me.
