Obstructive sleep apnea: Your study is consistent with obstructive sleep apnea. You should see your physician and have CPAP set up for you. OSA can lead to hypertension, congestive heart failure or, early dementia, and difficulty losing weight. It is important therefore to use your CPAP machine. See your physician about getting one and having it set up for you.
