[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but a snorer. Snoring isn’t always apnea though, right? I snore but it’s very regular. My concern about sleep studies is I’m skeptical they ever find that someone doesn’t need a cpap device. There’s a lot of $$$ to be made in this area.[/quote]

Are you kidding me?[/quote]

I am not the person who posted that comment but I too have had doubts. There are lots of reasons to be skeptical, as spending on sleep studies and CPAP machines has soared, with many stories of people being referred for expensive tests without good reason, and being sold machines without any attempt to first treat the apnea  through other means.

I'm sorry, what other treatments have been shown to be effective in the research?

OP. I'm hoping that was you who posted getting a good night's sleep on CPAP. You know how people have heart attacks when shoveling snow or other weekend warrior activities? Sleep apnea is why people have heart attacks and strokes in the middle of the night. The cardiovascular stress of suffocation is real.[/quote]
