I think you should find a different Doctor.That one is trying to scam you and even the Doctor doesnt even know he is scamming you.The doctor has been brainwashed.Sleep apnia might exist but its rare.It means you just go to sleep all the time,sitting up.You probably have seen somebody in church passed out snoring,that would be a risk for sleep apnia.I dont know you or anything,but I doubt whether a doctor can look in your mouth and decide you have sleep apnia or not.A real doctor should know better than that. I have another theory about their blood pressure scam too.Most people have high blood pressure if you go by their scale.If that number was just 5 higher lots of people wouldnt be considered as high blood pressure,but they couldnt sell as many pills.I actually have high blood pressure.5 bypasses and 5 stents later I still have high blood pressure by their scale,but its no higher now than it was 10 years ago when my blood pressure was considered normal.Some people have blood pressure thats higher than others,some people snore.That doesnt make you defective,but it sells lots of pills and causes lots of misery.The real health problems are caused from food additives.If you can ever pin one of those nutritionists down on it they know it too.People werent as fat and sick when they put sugar in food instead of this other stuff.Even the other sweetener is not as bad as some of the stuff.By the time you get 50 years old you are full of this sludge if you eat junk food.You are lucky to be alive after eating all of that stuff and then they want to make it next to impossible for you to work so they have an excuse to bring Mexicans up here to drive for nothing.Of course this part of the plan with lots of money spent by big companies that want slaves for truck drivers is sneaking right on along.Its advanced so far that doctors are being brainwashed into thinking lots of people have sleep apnia and high blood pressure that dont necessarily. I think since gas stations or truck stops,whatever,made all of that profit that they should be forced to provide healthy food for travelers,especially truck drivers,and blood pressure will go down,drivers will be in better health,and will live longer.A doctor in the hospital told me that driving a truck takes 10 or more years off of your life.I know its the food mostly,then the lack of sleep and stress.You can fix the stress and lack of sleep by getting a better job,but the good food is harder and harder to find.McDonalds,Wendys,Burger King,and the rest are not good food to eat every day.Thats what made me sick eating that junk food and french fries.I like McDonalds burgers but they will kill you.There needs to be something done about making food safe to eat if they serve people that make a living on the highway.It needs to be affordable too.Now the way truck stops are if you try and eat healthy it costs twice as much and it already is too high.As far as that goes everybody could do without the additives and cheap ingredients that cause lots of illness and obesity,blocked arteries.That stuff there is way more important than somebody that snores when they sleep,but a doctor wont say a word about it,and make you jump through a bunch of hoops to get a physical card over some nonsense,but never say or do anything to cut down the bad health problems out there.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
