Just got back from sleep doc.

My Oxygen is so low at night (84%) - due to sleep Apnea and the chest pressure of being somewhat overweight, that he is ordering oxygen during the night in addition to the CPAP machine, which I also got today.

WOW, what a change of lifestyle.

He thinks that if I lose about 10-15 more pounds, the SA may well go away, and there is the possibility of a reversal of the AFib and lowering of SA-associated hypertesion.

I have already lost about 15 pounds last couple of months. I have asked to see a nutritionist for further assistance.

Saw an Electro-Physiologist yesterday who explained the different types of ablations available, but also stated that treatment or removal of sleep apnea may reverse heart Atrial Fibrillation.

I am going to delay any ablation procedures for about 5 months to see what the effect of the CPAP, O2 and weight loss have on the AFib.
