Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by OneOfTheGoodOnes: How often should a person get a complete blood count and why?
I am 53, male, former smoker(I smoked for 19 years and quit in 1992). I do not drink.

I have epilepsy(since 1966), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease(since birth), essential non-pulmonary hypertension, gastro-esophageal disease, BPH, complex central sleep apnea.

Could you please cite your sources for your answer, i.e., National Institute of Health, American Heart Association, etc. Thank you

Everyone is unique and no one person is the same, so as their health. There is no specific guidelines to how often should the physician check your CBC. Your physician will determine the frequency according to your need. The decision will mainly be affected by your current health (more ill, more frequent), your medication and the physician preference. There is some recommendation to some medication of how often should the physician check your blood work (may not be CBC). Also some physician like to check it more frequently than others.

If you really want to know, you should ask your primary physician, s/he know your health the best.

request majetn : In a person with sleep apnea, which causes increased falls and oxygen saturation of arterial blood during sleep? I am not overweight and not sleep apnea. It is a matter of biology. If I made a graph of oxygen saturation from the time of someone who has severe obstructive sleep apnea, while they slept, what led to saturation of going up and down over time? best answer:

My throat closes when I lie down.
