I Am Skinny And Don’t Snore, Could I Have Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Posted by: Alan in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, tags: Apnea., Could, Don't, Have, Obstructive, Skinny, Sleep, Snore

I don’t have any symptoms other than i wake up exhausted,
like I didn’t sleep. It doesnt happen every day, esp if I get
9 or more hours of sleep I feel okay. But If I get less than
8 – 8 1/2 i feel like I am going to die!!
I don’t snore, never have, and im thin (BMI of 19.4)
Wondering If i could have Obstructive Sleep Apnea
anyways? If so is it uncommon?
I have also considered Adrenal burnout.
How much does it cost to have a sleep study done?
(uninsured)
Thanks

Some thin people do have sleep apnea.
How do you know you don’t snore?
Do you have your adenoids? Some people have sleep apnea that is stopped by getting their adenoids removed.
There are other sleep disorders besides sleep apnea.
I’m not sure about the cost of a sleep study, sorry. You’ll have to talk to a doctor about that.

Apnea could be caused by an enlarged epiglottis closing off the oesophagus. best to get a sleep study done.
