[QUOTE="Esq, post: 78208, member: 15250"] I had my post-sleep study consult with the sleep specialist this morning, and I've been diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep study showed a respiratory event index of 6 (mild) and oxygen saturation of 83% (moderate, borderline severe). That means that, on average, I have 6 occurences per hour of stopping breathing for at least 10 seconds. The oxygen saturation rates apparently are approaching low enough to cause significant health issues, including premature death. The doctor has prescribed a CPAP machine which I should get set up with this week hopefully. . The diagnosis, while a bit of a surprise (I'm 36 years old and 165 pounds), also is somewhat of a relief. So many of my symptoms can be explained by sleep apnea, and I'm hopeful that treating the OSA will relieve them. I probably should have gotten tested for that first, but until doing research (and Dr. Saya recommending I consider getting tested) I just assumed OSA was an issue for older, overweight people. . I'm scheduled for follow-up blood work with Defy at the end of this month and another consult with Dr. Saya in early September, but I'm considering pushing both of those events out another 6-8 weeks so I can see if treating the OSA relieves my symptoms. Dr. Saya, if you happen to see this, I would welcome your thoughts on that. The next appointment was to be the one where we decided whether to give traditional TRT a go, and I"d rather wait to have that conversation until after I've given the CPAP some time to do its thing.
