Just to reaffirm what others have said, a lot of people who are skinny have apnea. I was told by many Drs, even ENTs that I couldn't have apnea, "just look at you!" one said.

The suffocating dreams are a good indication.

The only new thing I would add is to make sure you feedback to your PCP if you do indeed have apnea.

Definitively have sleep study. If you have OSA, feel lucky you were able to discover it. Most people never do. Sadly, that's just the first part of the journey to feeling better for some, not all.
