Is this a disaster? Feel like it...

I got a letter from my doctors today - they won't refer me until my apnoea has been investigated?

Don't worry hun its not a biggie. All you need to.do.is an overnight test. Basically its a monitor that goes round your wrist like a wristwatch and a sensor that goes on your finger. You put it on when you go to sleep and its done my morning. If you do have it you get a cpap machine to use. It's standard practice at my trust to be tested and doesn't delay things so don't stress xx

Think that is standard procedure ... you need to have your apnea under control for the op so they will check this first. Don't panic, it's just one of the hoops you will need to jump through to get the prize xxx

Can understand that as if you are diagnosed with sleep apnea that is one of most criteria well is at my pct so perhaps thats why in that he wants to make sure you do fir the criteria wouldnt worry about it
