    90% of people can get rid of sleep apnea simply by losing weight. If you have sleep apnea, you need to treat it because it will kill you. Literally. You are literally dying in your sleep. However, like everything else these days I think it is over hyped and treated by doctors. If you don’t know, if you have sleep apnea, set the voice memo on record on your phone and put it on your nightstand while you sleep. You’ll hear yourself choking all night. And literally stop breathing and gasping for air. Most people who have sleep apnea realize somethings going on but not always.

    I used to snore like a freight train. Dropped about 45 to 50 pounds this past year and it went away along with high blood pressure and every other medical problem I had. Every single medical ailment I had completely gone. However, I eat an extreme superfood diet. I excersise most days on the road as well. I literally don’t eat anything that isn’t natural, organic, and considered a “superfood”. Get off that trap if you can.

    You can get a second opinion, but you had better tell the new doc what the other doc determined. If you don't you are doctor shopping and the FMCSA can cancel the second physical.

    I think your right, If he loses weight, then retest, and test comes back good, he should not have to do that stupid CPAP crap.
