This Doctor told me I had severe Sleep Apnea, Because My neck is 20 inches, but He couldn't even test me unles?
I marked 2 or more symptoms on the questionaire. That just doesn't make any sense, guidelines say you have to have 2 or more of the following symptoms: * Excessive daytime sleepiness. * Waking with an unrefreshed feeling after sleep, having problems with memory and concentration, feeling tired, and experiencing personality changes. * Morning or night headaches. About half of all people with sleep apnea report headaches.2 * Heartburn or a sour taste in the mouth at night. * Swelling of the legs. * Getting up during the night to urinate (nocturia). * Sweating Stop snoring sleep apnea and chest pain while you are sleeping.Symptoms of sleep apnea that others may notice include: * Episodes of not breathing (apnea), which may occur as few as 5 times an hour (mild apnea) to more than 50 times an hour (severe apnea). How many episodes you have determines how severe your sleep apnea is. * Loud snoring. Almost all people who have sleep apnea snore, but not all people who snore have sleep apnea. * Restless tossing and turning during sleep. * Nighttime choking or gasping spells.I snore, so does a lot of people I know, not that loud tho. Well I gave in and said yes to a couple of more just so he could test me for sleep apnea. My wife who sleeps next to me every night told him that i didn't have any of these symptoms and she never notice me stop breathing or grasping at night. But the Doctor says I have severe sleep apnea just by examining my neck and throat. He says I stop breathing 40 times a night.Well the Question is - Can anyone tell me why this doctor think I have severe SLeep Apnea just becuase of my neck size?The thing is - He thought I was lying about not having any of those symptoms but I wasn't. That's just like all doctors think if you fat and black you have high blood pressure or diabetes.Sarjeet I'm sorry but you are suggesting the doc is always right and that's just not true. That's why docs are always getting sued and losing their licenses.
