Glad for the good news.
Now for the "sleep study" to determine if this is a contributing factor.
My husband had to go through this a few years ago. Not only did he have sleep apnea but it helped confirm some other conditions he had complained about to the doctors but they really had not listened or paid attention to. They confirmed that he also had an "extreme" problem with restless leg syndrome that was interrupting his sleep. He got the C-PAP machine (which is a mask you where when sleeping that causes "positive airway pressure" meaning it helps keep your airway (throat) open when you sleep so you do not stop breathing. Then the doctors finally gave him a medicine for the restless leg syndrome. He now can get more than a few hours sleep at a time.
It has helped him to have better daylight hours, too, as he is better rested.
Let us know how everything else goes with you, too.
