I was diagnosed yesterday with central sleep apnea. My ENT didn’t seem to have a clue, so he sent me to my neurosurgeon. Neither knew much about the problem, and fortunately neither was afraid to let me know (that’s the right kind of DR in my opinion…one who will admit his shortcomings or lack of knowledge in an area). Anyway, I’m being sent next to a neurologist. Of course, I have been doing a lot of research, but reading about some of the things that could cause CSA, i.e. Shy-Dreger, are pretty scary. Anybody out there have any knowledge to share?

Thanks for the post Kinsey. I know that many over weight people develop sleep apnea, but thanks for recognizing that many people get this disease even when they are not obese. I am one of these exceptions and people are always surprised when I tell them.
