Immediately...I wear it every night for 5 years now. ** -- Major Kong 04/13/2016 10:46AM
I'm gonna put this out there. perhaps people should -- MEHOKIE 04/13/2016 10:12AM
I guess I touched a nerve. I guess I wont post -- MEHOKIE 04/13/2016 10:58AM
No, just inaccurate. I happen to have both, and not offended at all. -- 48zip 04/13/2016 11:23AM
Didn't say only. -- MEHOKIE 04/13/2016 12:27PM
It's inaccurate to assume losing weight (or by being slim) will prevent SA. -- 48zip 04/13/2016 1:17PM
People who are obese are 4 times more likely to have apnea -- MEHOKIE 04/13/2016 1:31PM
But it's not the main cause -- Baltimore Hokie 04/13/2016 4:22PM
Not disputing that at all. But like Type 2 diabetes, it is NOT exclusive -- 48zip 04/13/2016 2:11PM
What's to discuss? I have Idiopathic (primary) central sleep apnea -- Hokie5150 04/13/2016 12:35PM

Same here! I actually use a ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV... -- Major Kong 04/13/2016 2:08PM
Why do you assume I down voted you? You are free to post -- Hokie5150 04/13/2016 1:53PM
But to be fair weight is a high contributing factor in both. Not 100%... -- cincyhokie 04/13/2016 11:38AM
It really depends on how much weight and where it is distributed -- Tailgate Guru 04/13/2016 12:31PM
And lack of sleep increases appetite ** -- HokieDan95 04/13/2016 12:02PM
Nope...seems to run in families. My dad and my sister both had it. -- Major Kong 04/13/2016 10:55AM
It's mainly a structural thing -- Tailgate Guru 04/13/2016 10:47AM
I hear what your saying but If it only structural -- MEHOKIE 04/13/2016 11:05AM
A lot of people, me included, don't know about it -- ZekeVT 04/13/2016 5:38PM
I asked about surgery -- Tailgate Guru 04/13/2016 12:25PM
I know a few that had no luck with surgery. More than have had good results ** -- 48zip 04/13/2016 1:19PM
Upvote for being generally true despite people not wanting to hear it. -- BG Hokie 04/13/2016 10:34AM
Insert false "nobody is saying that" lame shtick here ** -- HokiePHX 04/13/2016 11:02AM
I sort of copied your posting style in my remarks. It was awesome! ** -- BG Hokie 04/13/2016 12:31PM
Well, nobody said that, so...? Maybe read the responses next time? ** -- JoesterVT 04/13/2016 10:52AM
It's a running joke here Joester. -- vthokieq 04/13/2016 10:57AM
Remember, I've always been on the opposing side of the BMI thing -- BG Hokie 04/13/2016 12:30PM
That's because you're a muscle bound freak... -- vthokieq 04/13/2016 12:42PM
Did you even read the responses? ** -- HokieDan95 04/13/2016 10:42AM
After I posted, which made my post even better. But better -- BG Hokie 04/13/2016 12:36PM
Didn't mean to be combative ** -- HokieDan95 04/13/2016 2:03PM
Perhaps people should better educate themselves concerning sleep apnea... ** -- Hokie5150 04/13/2016 10:27AM
No thin people have Sleep Apnea? ** -- fat mac 04/13/2016 10:20AM
Nice generalization, but not always a weight issue. -- HokiesDiver 04/13/2016 10:20AM
Except skinny beanpoles can have sleep apnea as well -- JoesterVT 04/13/2016 10:20AM
And people that aren't getting their sleep are going to be hungrier -- HokieDan95 04/13/2016 10:31AM
Wow...I'm kinda surprised how many people here use a C-PAP. ** -- vthokieq 04/13/2016 09:54AM
What, with all the weight lifting muscle bodied studs with hot wives on -- BG Hokie 04/13/2016 10:30AM
Noticed a difference in quality of sleep immediately. Got used to it quick -- Hokie Bird 94 04/13/2016 09:49AM
I'm still not completely used to it -- Gator Hokie 04/13/2016 09:17AM
Been using it less than a year... -- vthhhi 04/13/2016 09:12AM
I was in the same boat...never once went into REM sleep during the study. -- Hokie5150 04/13/2016 10:29AM
Wow. I thought my 85/hr was bad. I did a 2nd study after losing 40 lbs -- 48zip 04/13/2016 09:15AM

Yep. Always heard it. Never did it intentionally. -- 48zip 04/13/2016 09:33AM
Took me a couple months to get the right mask -- ZekeVT 04/13/2016 09:08AM
Serious question, does anyone go in for a sleep evaluation that doesn't -- BayHokie 04/13/2016 09:03AM
Did a sleep study for a different reason, but apnea was never mentioned -- Burke Hokie 04/13/2016 10:14AM
Get it done. Apnea is serious business. ** -- Hokie Bird 94 04/13/2016 09:52AM
I have twice. Both times came up just short of what would qualify for CPAP -- vt90 04/13/2016 09:24AM
My father in law just recently -- turkeywinghokie 04/13/2016 09:12AM

Took 6 months to fully get used to it. 1 time to notice the difference -- HokieDan95 04/13/2016 08:37AM
I ran out of water in the middle of the night, didn't notice until -- fat mac 04/13/2016 08:48AM
I used to get nose bleeds before installing a humidifier. ** -- thankbud 04/13/2016 11:05AM
