Thank you for your helpful response. Another comment: I am upset that my primary care doctors did not diagnose the sleep apnea problem sometime over the last 10 years. I had informed my docs about the night sweats, headaches, depression, ED, GERD, frequent nighttime bathroom visits, snoring, fatigue, etc. and eventually I diagnosed myself by doing internet research. I have had annual physical exams and it seems criminal that all doctors are not required to have patients do a comprehensive computer symptom analysis which in my case would have surely pointed to the possibility of OSA. (sorry -- just blowing-off some vented-up frustration).
