The Results Are In....

I have Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I will be scheduled for another sleep study to be fitted for a CPAP.

I feel guilty about this since your weight can affect it. And I have not been eating like I should. And after I have read more about apnea, I feel somewhat better. It is like a catch-22. I need to excercise, but by the time the evening comes around and I have finished other things I have to do, I am so tired and feel so bad. So I don't excercise. Then I read that sleep apnea can cause weight gain. Not that I am using that as an excuse, but it seems that since this whole snoring deal has been going on, I have been putting it on more. But that may not be true, just what I want to believe. Either way, I need to get my extra weight off.

As much as I hate to have this, I am SO relieved to know what it is and to be able to fix it. I am tired of being tired. Last night was probably the worst it has ever been. I started to feel really weak and my leg and arm was aching. I am glad to have a light at the end of this sleepless tunnel.

Don't be too hard on yourself. At least, now you know part of the problem and with the use of a CPAP, you will be getting the sleep you need. Once well rested, things will begin to fall into place.

Good on you for have the sleep study done. Most people do not even get that far.
