CPAP Tip for O/O

It means I don't want a cpap. So I'll go to different doctor that is going to pass my physical. Now if I want to go get a sleep study done on my own and do a cpap on my own cool. But I don't want my license to be dependent on me using it.

 

And to further touch on this. I personally think. Most people they say need a cpap don't actually need one. Something to the tune of 90% don't need it. But that's just my 2 cents. But idk why anyone would want I attached to their license. If you don't HAVE to. If you're a company driver you, most of the time, have to go where your company tells you to get a physical done. I work for myself. I don't want any stipulations on my license

 

Does this forum do hair folical tests or just urinalysis asking for a friend

 

I have and use a CPAP machine, I also take pills for a prostate problem I have. I don't necessarily want to use a CPAP or take pills but I do because they improve the quality of my life. I base my decisions on sound medical advice, not on what I've heard or what I think the way things should be.

 

Good. Do you. I just would rather do it on my own/my Dr telling me to do it. Rather then, you have to use this machine in order to drive AND we need proof of it. OR were gonna suspend your license. Which is what have your it be attached to your medical physical is.

 

Problem is if you are misdiagnosed, it's a nightmare getting the diagnosis reversed.

I do not have sleep apnea, but I have to wear a mask. Having and using the mask does nothing for me but give me acne where the mask seals to my face.

 

I'm not sure how a misdiagnosis can occur but if you don't have sleep apnea don't use your mask. You can also change the style of mask you use to suit your needs.

 

How much of that sleeapnea is a real problem so that FMCSA should even care? Although, it may be dangerous for someone to lose breath during sleep but how is that compromising safety on the road?

 

Poor quality of sleep can affect your performance during the day. That is what they are concerned about.

 

because we can’t do truck stop medical cards with this certification BS anymore
