Doctors To Accurately Diagnose Sleep Apnea

man-in-bed-mouth-agape-350Trust your doctor to diagnose your sleep apnea? Think again… I specifically wanted to address this issue as my very own doctor did not detect my classic tell tale signs of obstructive sleep apnea such as sudden weight gain, excessive tiredness with day time sleepiness, high blood pressure, rapid pulse rate and GERD. All I was given was more medication to control my high blood pressure and Mylanta for my “gastric” problems. When my blood pressure situation didn’t improve, a higher dosage of drugs was prescribed to control my high blood pressure or the medication was changed. When I had to often go to the toilet at night due to nocturia, caused by sleep apnea, I was prescribed hydro chlorothiazide to help both to control my blood pressure and help me urinate more during the day so that I will feel less of the urge to urinate in the night. While nocturia is naturally more common in elderly adults, Nocturia among younger individuals who are less likely to have other medical causes of nocturia is a strong indicator of sleep apnea according to this article.
