My Sleep Apnea Story

I had been seeing a cardiopulmonary doctor for about 15 years. He retired and I had to find another one. When I first saw the new doctor he sent me to a sleep study. I didn’t do very well on that test and went back a second time.

After the sleep apnea diagnosis

When I was notified that I had it. I saw a therapist who fitted me with the proper equipment, that was around 2010. I have used the machine religiously since. My wife had said that I quit breathing at times during the night but I don’t now. Can’t really tell if my sleep has improved but if my doctor says that I need it, I‘ll use it.
