Hello everyone this is my first time here. I was wondering if anyone know if you can receive SSD for OSA? I use a cpap set at 19cm pressure. I am also awaiting medical discharge from the NAVY due to the apnea and the fact that i died for 8min after surgery for a deviated septum becuz the anesthesologist(dont know how to spell well)remove the oxygen tube from my throat and my throat collasped and there was noone in the room and there computer monitors where down so it was estimated at 8-12min. It has left me with bad headaches every day and short term memory problems. Im only 28 years old and having these problems.well sorry to blab but if anyone knows if u can qualify for SSD cuz of OSA plz let me know.Thank you very much and god bless.
