Something a PA at my group said that might prove useful: Men with neck circumferences over 17 inches and women with neck circumferences over 16 inches are at high risk for sleep apnea.
sleep Apnea is probably the most difficult comorbidity to "cheat" on and fake since theyre gonna have you hooked up to a million monitors reading brainwaves etc etc. And I dont know what insurance you have, but with some (possibly many?) insurance plans you need severe sleep apnea not just sleep apnea.
I think your best bet is to get a copy of your insurance requirements and go over it with a fine tooth comb. Its certainly possible you have severe sleep apnea, but since youre not severely obese I think its unlikely, especially if symptoms of sleep apnea arent having a significant impact on your life (not to mention hypertension is usually a hallmark sign of sleep apnea)
And none of us know why/how the OP got tested for sleep apnea. Hell I got my sleep apnea test because I said hey doc I wanna get a gastric sleeve and I do snore sometimes can I get tested for sleep apnea. And truthfully doctors would probably test anyone who is obese for sleep apnea if they wanted it done.
