My whole problem got discovered because the DR. thought that I was having a heart attack. I had high Hemo.when they did the blood work in the ER. but it turns out that my body has been trying to compensate for low O2 levels, 49% to 51% every morning. I have always snored loud enough to rattle windows since I was a teenager and I am 45 now. I had an average of 74 apneas per hour of over 10 seconds each. When did I breath? My Hemo has gone down minimally, but I've only been on cpap since Dec 28
