So how bad is my OSA, straight answer, no hype.

OK, I've already told you guys that I am a 60-year old female with OSA. My AHI in my study was 76. I am also borderline diabetic, hypertensive, obese (250 lbs. and 5'4" tall).

Re: Newly diagnosed and feeling abandoned

Newly diagnosed and feeling abandoned

I am a 60-year old female just diagnosed with OSA. My sleep study revealed that I have about 76 apneas per hour, which I have learned on my own puts me in the "severe" category. I was referred for the sleep study, which my insurance carrier made me do at home, by my primary physician after seeking a...
