Question
Ademily87
Dated 22NOV2010
"Good morning Sir, this is AD3 (my name) in IM-2 on CVN-71. I am having problems logging in to the computer today so I'm doing this from my Gmail if you don't mind.
I came to medical today but it was after sick hall hours and the personnel at the desk told me to email you rather than coming in tomorrow. I get out of the navy on Jan 28 and I have recently discovered that I could possibly have sleep apnea. My duty section leader brought it to my attention not too long ago and said I need to get it checked out. I asked my wife if she noticed anything different while I sleep and she said I stop breathing in my sleep quite frequently. I woke up the other day to my wife crying and she had me sitting up while I was sleeping because it scared her so much. I don't know what to do because I have never had any health issues before. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Sir."

You know many claims like OSA can also be part of a secondary mental health claim. I have OSA and it is depressing as hell since I don't respond well to the CPAC. Most physical disabilities have a e

When I was discharged back in 1971 I don't think OSA was even a recognized disorder. I never went to a doctor about sleep issues because they would have laughed in my face back in the army of those d
