Sleep Apnea - easy to treat - many people don't

Doing research on Richard Dent's deserved nomination to the NFL Hall of Fame, led me to recall Reggie White. SLEEP APNEA likely led to the death of NFL Hall of Famer Reggie White at 43 years old. I believe one of our friends said we lost classmate Alan Ballard due to sleep apnea. If you are like me and snore loudly, are overweight (I am a svelte 300 lbs.), and often wake up more tired than when you went to bed or feel like you were run over by a truck when you wake up- YOU NEED TO SCHEDULE A SLEEP STUDY. Use of a CPAP machine is simple, only slightly obtrusive, but it can be life changing. Like my doctor told me a couple of weeks ago at my annual physical "you probably used to be smart, think of all those brain cells you lost not treating your sleep apnea." And heck he didn't even know about all those years of binge drinking before I finally gave up the hooch. The CPAP machine is a non-pharmaceutical and very simple way to improve quality of life and will likely extend your life. And life is so very short and precious.
Sleep apnea damages your heart and your brain.
