Tomjax:

May I disagree? Two differeent doctors in different HMO said someting like this to me: "you are not overweight, you do not drink, you don't smoke. You can't have sleep apnea.

About 1/3 of those with sleep apnea are not overweight. Some time ago, in resonse to one of my posts someone suggested that sleep apnea causes obesity.
