I have several thoughts, but the most important one is that sleep apnea is
something that happens throughout the night, and results in poor quality of
sleep and tiredness during the day. If you don't have that, I don't see any
reason to suspect sleep apnea.

because you are slim should be replaced."

Well, that's not what the doctor said. He had a conversation with sinope,
and then sinope condensed and summarized it here, and then you condensed it
even further into the quote above. I have to give the benefit of the doubt
to a doctor who actually examined his patient, as opposed to us people on
an Internet forum! :)

I'm a slim person and I have sleep apnea, but I have the other symptoms
that would lead one to suspect apnea.
