Sleep Apnea diagnosis in 2000 with CPAP. Had UP3 Surgery in 2006 and went from Moderate to SEVERE Apnea - -besides being VERY painful, forever getting food down my windpipe, It made the Apnea worse - -and my family doctor, sleep doctor, and the ENT doctor don't know why!!
In answer to your questions:A sleep study really needs to be done.
First, there really isn't a true profile - some people with big necks and overweight do not have Sleep Apnea, others that weigh 105lbs dripping wet (my Aunt) have Severe Sleep Apnea. Secondly, the pressure needs to be set pretty well - -too little results in little help, too much pressure is sometimes thought to induce Sleep Narcolepsy, where a person really doesn't sleep, just completely numbs out, even in the daytime without warning - -completely different than Sleep Apnea. Third, they look for other sleep issues: brain activity, breathing, heart/lung issues, restless leg syndrome, etc.
The sleep studies are really painless and as comfortable as possible. I had never spent a night in a hospital until my first one, and "slept" all night with wires and nurses around (NO, couldn't get lucky at all!!).
Sleep apnea, in addition to extreme fatigue, can lead to heat attacks, digestive disorders, kidney issues, and severe depression, as the brain doesn't go the 4th level below REM sleep to create the enzymes needs for balanced metal health.
IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
