My husband was just telling me a story about a colleague who went to his doctor complaining of restless leg syndrome. Instead of prescribing a drug, the doc wisely told this healthy young man he needed a sleep study.
He went to the sleep lab where he was initially ignored since he looked so healthy the techs thought he was the son of a patient. They did finally admit him and start the study.
The sleep study was interrupted very early by a technician who put this man on a C-Pap (machine that forces air into the airway) because “We don’t want you dying here”. Wow. If you feel tired during the day, snore, wake up during the night with a “Panic attack”, are overweight please consider being evaluated for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is very dangerous but easily managed with either a dental appliance or C-Pap machine. Here’s a link with more information Sleep Apnea Information.
