There are forty pounds more of me after being diagnosed with OSA and having 3 years of CPAP.....I would suggest that you lose those 40 pounds--don't put it off! There is a lot of information flying around that CPAP may hinder efforts to lose weight and may actually cause weight gain--you may want to check out www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/4752/. That is a website I linked to from here and the info from medical journals (and the chance to e-mail a doctor with OSA) answered a lot of my questions.

It sounds like you have a heavy load at school. Do the sleep study and let your doctors assess where you are at. Untreated OSA only gets worse and you don't want that at 23!

Good luck on your quest!
