Read the post again. OP was PRESCRIBED a CPAP machine by his Doctor. You do not just pick one up a Walmart. It is a prescribed medical device. This wasn't "ordered" due to a DOT physical. Apparently the OP was diagnosed with sleep apnea by their personal doctor. If you have a diagnoses and a prescription for a device, it must be listed on your long form. It will not disqualify you from a DOT Medical card.

The Op as in post 1 yes he stated he has apnea.
The op that necro'd the thread (brought from the dead) in post 20 did not have a diagnoses. I think you two are just looking at different op's.
