ive been diagnosed with sleep apnea.. but my doctor said im not severe enough for a respitory machine.. but what does he know.. i dont sleep much, and im allllllways tired! any suggestions ??

to whether or not they could of sleep apnea or is it jsut if you snore its a symptom of it. My husband is an EXTREMELY loud snorerer just wondering if that makes it more of a gauruntee he probably has sleep apnea or does the volumne have no relation to it.

I have many symptoms of sleep apnea but my sleep study shows that it is not an issue. I am tired all the time, no energy or motivation. Depression and anxiety are a major problem. I wake up many times a night feeling like I cannot catch my breath, like my chest is very heavy and not getting enough air/oxygen. What other conditions could cause these symptoms?

I’m going to an AME for the first time. If you had a condition that required a "special issuance", had all the appropriate documentation to present at the time of the examination, what time frame are we talking about to actually get the student pilot and 3rd class medical? The condition is sleep apnea, well controlled, documented electronic compliance with therapy at 100% for 3 years, letter from physician treating it, stating that all pre-treatment conditions (sleepiness, headaches) are resolved, and all paperwork in hand from polysomatographic studies. Is this something that the AME can do? Will they have to defer to the regional flight surgeon? or to Oklahoma City?

Tough question? anyone experence Sleep apnea and Seizures? I have a friend, who is now on a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night. He is over weight – but the real problem is he has had 3 Grand mal seizures in the last 6-months. He has completed a MRI no sign of a tumor or Epilepsy. He is looking for a cause and if the two are related. Any Help out there?
