Have just come home from seeing my GP after doing a home pulse oximetry test for the last 3 nights . It's official , I have sleep apnoea , on fact he said its the worst reading he has seen in the many years he has been doing these tests . At one stage my sats were 39% ! I am now being refered for cpap & he is sending my surgery referal off today with a print out of my results . So bad / good news rolled into one .

Good gracious Dawn , both of us in together , doesn't bear thinking about lol !
I did say to him about the infection giving a false reading , but he didn't think so , plus it was such a bad reading that without the infection it would still been bad
Thanks for your support , you can count on mine too xx

Mixed blessings Cheryl as its obviously not nice to have it confirmed that you have sleep apnoea, but it will have certainly helped in your quest for surgery.

Hopefully with the Cpap you can get some quality sleep which should help you feel better, and as others have said - post surgery the sleep apnoea should hopefully disappear.
