Obstructive Sleep Apnea

A good friend came for a physical exam to find out why he had increasing fatigue. Everything was normal.

“My wife thinks I’m slowly dying from the vibrations of my loud snoring!” he said.

Why didn’t I think of that? I have made that diagnosis probably a hundred times but it is usually the spouse who makes the diagnosis and suggests the appropriate testing. I’m not even embarrassed anymore when it is pointed out that once again I missed the boat.

SleepQuest is a sleep apnea testing and therapeutic company which started in the floor above me and since has grown to great prominence hear in Northern California.
