 Keep in mind, anesthesiologists work on people who have sleep apnea ALLLLLL the time.
That reminds me. There is a neighbor who was told after his colonoscopy that he almost certainly had sleep apnea and should see a sleep doctor. He uses CPAP now.

I had a dentist who should have noticed.
How many people fall asleep during a ROOT CANAL?

i decided to request a sleep study after an anesthetist during an endoscopy told me I had sleep apnea. I had an AHI of 73 and started with an APAP machine and now use a bilevel machine.

Hello everyone!

First, just wanted to say thank you for the very supportive messages.

I also wanted to say that my endoscopy will be in the morning. More good vibes and whatnot will be appreciated! :mrgreen:

Well, the two that I had when I was a teenager were pretty relaxed for the most part.. a few "need a little more anesthetic" times because the dentist believed in light anesthetic that didn't leave the patient drooling for hours after.
