Randy

Have you ever had a sleep apnea test, Randy?

Re-read the beginning of this thread Robin...

I searched for a thread on sleep apnea, and found this one.
Would it have been better to start a new one?
I apologize if I put the info in the wrong place

No... I was referring to you asking Randy if he's been tested for sleep apnea. That's pretty much what started this thread...

Oops... sorry Randy.

This was an answer to a question on Newsmax Health:

Quote :

Sleep apnea and hypothyroidism are distinctly different conditions. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) will aggravate and in some cases set the stage for sleep apnea by weight gain and its related obstruction of the upper airway.

Sleep apnea has no effect on hypothyroidism itself, but is a common associated condition as you have noticed. The failure to recognize both of these conditions will have major effects on your quality of life and longevity. Correction of hypothyroidism may give a measure of control, improvement or remission of sleep apnea.
