I don't know the answer to your question but at an A.W.A.K.E.meeting this week the doctor who was the speaker said that everyone with sleep apnea should wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace.In case of an emergancy that would render us unable to comunicate a doctor or medical person would know that we have a sleep disorder that causes breathing obstruction's or problem's.I hope you find your answer and I am so sorry for your loss.
