    I had a friend die from undiagnosed sleep apnea. He was 51. I know people will tell you is a scam, it's BS etc., But the fact is it is a serious condition and a quality of life issue.

    I would just tell him straight out he should look into it.

    This all came to light a few years back when Reggie White died from it. Ray LaHood was DOT Sec and realized there are a lot of larger people driving trucks so maybe this was a condition that should be looked into. Honestly by the number of drivers that have it, it seems to be a good call.

    If you have Hypertension, will you get it treated? Will you take your meds?

    If you have Diabetes will you get it treated? Will you take your meds?

    Why wouldn't you get another medical condition treated?
