It seems like a large portion of us also suffer from Type II diabetes. Maybe something to consider adding to your questionnaire?

It looks pretty good. I took it twice, first time using how I felt pre-CPAP and the secont time, how I feel now. I'm cured!!! LOL

Seems like you've made a good start. How are you planning to get this accepted by the medical community?

Good luck.

Good suggestion, I'll add it to the list to evaluate. Thanks!

Thanks Kajun, appreciate your thought. I'm not aiming as high as the medical community (yet). I first hope to get some traffic to it via my blog and some of the forum I spend time on regularly, like here. When I get some feedback and usage stats, I can fine-tune it and see if I can promote it a bit more.

Just keep it in mind when someone wonders whether they have OSA!

Cheers!

Good job with the list.

Another suggestion, a friend and I both recall before diagnosis we would have ashen complexions upon arising in the morning. Later in the day the complexion would return to a normal color. No doubt it was low blood-ox level upon arising.

I've also been working on a list over at:

Sorry haven't read your list yet (way too much to read already) but among things others have mentioned, puffy eyes in the morning are a good indication (for me anyway), and I think post-nasal drip also makes it worse.
