[QUOTE="Jude, post: 321905, member: 8649"] Following testing at the beginning of September I have today been told that I do have sleep apnea, although mild, and have been sent home with a CPAP machine. Do any of you have experience of these machines and did your condition improve following treatment with the machine? The only reason I was referred for these investigations was because I asked to be referred for a gastric band and the Consultant I saw said I was not big enough (!) although my BMI of 37 qualified me under NICE guidelines but not under Coventry Health guidelines!! I am just hoping that this treatment will help with my chronic health problems - hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. Any advice/encouragement will be much appreciated. :) Judith [/QUOTE]
