My doctor is requiring pulmonary clearance but I have no pre-existing conditions like sleep apnea or anything. Did anyone else have to do this? What was required?

i had severe sleep apnea but had a sleep study that was less than year old so he took that. I had to have Cardiac clearance and a swallow test

I had a sleep study as well as a chest X-ray

Did you have any pre-existing conditions or was that the minimum testing required? How was the sleep study?

I had sleep apnea years ago that I mentioned to doc. Sleep study was fine; I did an at home one but it came back inconclusive so I wet to an overnight one at a lab and it was hard to sleep but ok. No big deal

yes I had to have pulmnary clearance I think because I was a smoker for 38 years 2 packs a day and lost many family members to heart attactks .....so ekg...nuclear stress test...then heart cath....thank God everything came back good...also had colonacopy,,,,,and sleep study which I did find out I do have sleep apena and now using cpac machine...tons of blood work lol .......have seen nutritionist .......last thing to do I think is psyh eval on 10 of july last weigh in for 3 months required by insurance attempt to lose weight. Hopefully on the 10th i will be getting my date for bypass.
