    So with the doctors pushing for sleep apnea testing when being certified I was curious. How many of you are being affected? Is anyone taking the at home sleep studies or in lab studies? If you have done an at home study was it enough to satisfy your doc? I have a similar post, but am curious to get some feed back. Thanks guys and ladies! Be safe out there!!!

    I got my DOT physical a couple months ago and the subject never came up. The clinic that did the exam is part of a large hospital and they specialize in doing exams and drug testing. And I might add, I am 78 years old and I am very blessed with good health, the doctor wrote on my DOT form, "HEALTHY"---But never once did he mention "sleep apnea".

    I'm 205, 5'10 - and I'm worried. They love their BMI, which puts me as 'overweight'.

    I'll take each 2 years as it comes.
