Waiting for results...

It's amazing how many of you share my journey....

I'm 40 and have been snoring for years...even before the weight went up. I've sought treatment for what has been called everything from depression to anxiety, ADHD to laziness. My BP has been elevated since age 25. I've tried multiple meds and explained the vague, tired, anxious, irritable, fatigue to multiple MD's. "just exercise and lose weight" was a common answer.

Finally, after being kicked at night for the millionth time by a angry spouse, the light went on....in my head, that is.

I had a sleep study done on Aug 13. The only problem is the first available MD appt for analysis was SEPT 17!

If the diagnosis is sleep apnea, the treatment results I've seen on this forum with CPAP are VERY encouraging. Maybe I'm not psychotic afterall. C'mon Sept 17!!!
