I was severe OSA pressure presecribed 17. The details of my 1st study is filed away and given 4 yrs. I am afraid the details are just not as clear. What is clear is that my Dr. told me it is severe and had some restless legs syndrone but not at a point where I needed intervention. He opined that dealing with OSA would probably take care of it. It did. Apparently loosing the weight was the trick in my case. I am aware that obesity can contribute to OSA but it may not be the only thing. Thanks for reponding.
