I was just diagnosed today with moderate to severe sleep apnea. The figures the doctor gave me made me feel that I lean toward the moderate side. I do not have fibromialgia (sp.).
I was wondering if there was anyone out there that found that losing weight corrected the problem without going with a cpap. My husband says that just in the last 2 years I have started snoring heavily and in about that same amount of time I've noticed a lack of energy. I am not falling asleep during the day but find my energy levels are lower. I assumed that it was my weight causing me not to sleep well. I have about 110 pounds to lose.
I'm just interested in different views and whether some found that when they lost weight this problem went away, or would it be a good idea to lose some weight and have another study done again before deciding on going with the cpap right away.
Thoughts?
