During a regular checkup Dr. Papendick recognized that I may have Sleep Apnea and recomended I get a sleep test. Sure enough I had Apnea and it was a severe case of Apnea. I've now been on a CPAP for almost a year and it has made a significant difference. I no longer get drowsy while driving or at my desk at work, I can sit down and watch TV or read without falling asleep within minutes. I've even laid down to intentionally take a nap and ended up watching news for an hour and never did fall asleep for that nap. I didn't think there was anything wrong with me but there was. Thank You Dr. Papendick for recognizing a non dental problem that has made a difference. And I'd like to add that my wife appreciates the fact that I no longer snore something terrible.
