My daughter runs a sleep lab, and Apnea is nothing to dismiss.
I’m glad you caught it! He will rest much better once the treatment has started.
I had a friend with severe sleep apnea who died of cardio problems brought on by her apnea at the age of 39...she was diagnosed before cpaps were commonly available, and refused to use the oral device they made for her. She had a miserable marriage and I think was using the sleep deprivation as a way to escape her misery. And when she was getting to the point she wanted more from life, her heart failed. Sigh.
When I got married in ‘99 realized hubby had it, and made him go get a sleep test shortly afterward. He’s been on a cpap ever since.
