Recommended Posts

Hello there i want to know if somebody has gone threw something like this. I was sent by the doctor in charge of the surgery to a medical office where they practice sleep studies because they think i have sleep apnea. I am 35 bmi with no comorbidy but i have a high blood pressure record long ago that wasn’t bothering me anymore but when i got to the sleep study doctor y had my blood pressure high again. I don’t know if my insurance company will see that and if thats going to be favorable for an approval (i have never taken medication for my blood pressure) because the first time that it was high i was nursing and i couldn’t take any medications but now i don’t know whats going to happen. Please help

Since your BMI is so low (from an insurance standpoint) you need to identify any and all potential comobes...tell your coordinator and doctor about your BP...it all needs to be considered...also not sure what your insurance is but family history is sometimes considered and you are using the surgery as a preventative measure yada yada
