A not close family friend has some familiar symptoms - tired all the time, falls asleep in front of the telly and after eating, snores to the point of stopping breathing. This has also come on during a period when his weight has spiralled way above 20 stone.
He drives in connection with his job and is rumoured to have had two accidents in this period, the worrying thing of course is that if true it might be connected with sleepiness. Even more worrying they have small children and they travel with him at times.
His wife has been told all about my exact same symptoms prior to being diagnosed and that the similarity is close enough to suggest her husband needs a sleep study. He has visited the doctor, result being he is being tested for everything but OSA. It seems he either hasn't told them about the snoring or they haven't focused upon it.
One can't do any more than point out the similarities and the dangers?
