Addiction Information To Sleep Apnea Claim
1. This is addiction information to my sleep apnea claim. Prior to finding out, I had been suffering from sleep apnea before retiring from the Military. I was going to the doctors with complaints of stroke like symptoms after exercising (PT); with vision problems and headaches for years. Not knowing I was not getting a complete night of sleep. The symptoms would last for about 30 to 40 minutes, would go away after getting some rest, but I would continue to have a headache for three to four days. In addition, I was later diagnosed with high blood pressure and a decreased interest in sex, another symptom of sleep apnea that was not properly diagnosed. Subsequently, I ended up with high blood pressure after suffering from the stroke symptoms

    Therefore, from my observation of alcohol and substance use (illness), and the Narcotics Anonymous (NA) support group, this illness is a serious issue that deserve attention and aware to. This illness is a life and death situation that is harmful for an individual and family/friends support system. The help of NA support groups and meetings is beneficial for an individual with the illness to make a change in their life, and turn away from drug use. It does not matter who the individual is and their age, their life is more important than having drugs to change your life for the worst. Everyone is alive to live their life to the fullest with goals, and with loved ones. If there is a need and want to live a clean life from drugs, NA and other…

    Thank you very much for referring Barry along for investigation of possible obstructive sleep apnoea. I agree that he has a high likelihood of the condition given his history of snoring, witness apnoeas and his waking unrefreshed even when he sleeps well. He has symptoms of lethargy and fatigue, but also some sleepiness in passive situations, but reassuringly not whilst driving. He is also concerned by the quality of his sleep. He will go to bed at about 10.30pm, read for half an hour and fall asleep quickly when he turns the lights off. He will however wake after about three hours and will occasionally will find it difficult to get back to sleep and will sometimes read for up to an hour. When he stops reading, he will return to sleep…
