Oh jeez. I have OSA also and sleep with CPAP. Had it since i was 38.
When i go to the sleep clinic, every other patient is a lot older and, let's just say not the fittest looking individuals.
I never felt tired, never fell asleep during the day. I only got checked out because the wife complained of the snoring. I hate the machine, it does absolutely nothing for me, but keeps the wife happy.

Yeah, I went in to the Dr's with a weird dizziness thing. They did my blood pressure and it was very high (i was also ill at the time). They did a blood test and a few days later got an invite to a QRisk appointment. They wouldn't tell me what was in the test results, just that I had to wait 2 weeks for the appointment, when they would go through it.
Didn't know what the feck it was, googled it and saw it was something to do with chance of having a heart attack in the next 10 years. Cue panic stations (for my wife mainly).
In that two weeks, cut out all butter and most cheese from diet, switched to Benecol spread and benecol drinks, stopped adding salt to stuff and started exercising a bit more (having young kids had severely cut that down).
Had the appointment, they said actually my cholesterol was less than 5, but the ratios were a bit weird. Did the risk assessment and came out with a score of <3% for chance of heart attack in the next 10 years. Blood pressure had also come way, way down, back to normal. Panic all seemingly for nothing, but it was a bit of an eye opener.

This is the most bat shit crazy Tory party conference.
They're lapping up Truss's economic plans, completely forgetting her clusterfuck budget that cost the country billions and put up millions of people's mortgages.
Every minister is spouting the most ridiculous conspiracy theories and just downright lies. Latests is Countinho claiming that Starmer wants to introduce a meat tax.
