Lol. I am actually asking for a friend who I told TD could probably provide feedback given the variety of posters here.

I always love these comments. Everyone seems to know that one skinny guy with sleep apnea.
The fact is that weight is a major contributor, likely the most serious risk factor.
Your skinny BIL likely had a congenital issue, such as a narrow nasal passages.

The guy I am asking for is not heavy either. Probably about 6’ and 190lb. Maybe could lose a few but certainly not fat.

I’m glad you can diagnose over a message board post

Anecdotal evidence is not relevant.
Obesity is the major risk factor. There are always exceptions.

I'm not diagnosing anything. Just discussing major risk factors.
The post I replied to was like a person saying a specific lung cancer victim they know never smoked, so questions about their smoking habits were out of line.
Weight should be the first topic in a sleep apnea discussion.

What do you mean, flunked?

As a dentist who collaborates with MDs for nearly 30 years treating sleep apnea and snoring, I can tell you that this modality is MAYBE not quite ready for prime time. And it is just one more thing to "go wrong" vis a vis the insertion and management of the device.
CPAP, and even oral appliances (depending on a number of variables, one being your Apnea Hypopnia Index)are more predictable in their results. Proceed with caution.

read it wrong. i thought it was about the sleep study.
Posted on 8/4/20 at 9:45 am to jimlsu1
IMO I would go with this as a last resort treatment and try other methods/ interventions first. The technology is fairly new for this

Thank you for an informed answer. My guess is that is why he was asking about it. Guessing most people would like to avoid having to wear a mask.

What did people do in the old days? You never heard about sleep apnea until about 15 years ago.
I guess they just died?
