Seen a sleep/ENT specialist, gnu. They tend not to operate for apnea here nowadays as the success rate with a CPAP machine is far higher. He also reckons that once I start to sleep better my metabolism should increase and I may find exercise and weight loss easier - So the condition should improve with that. We will just have to see!

Glad to hear it worked for you. Oddly enough - even with my weight and other issues I don't seem to suffer from either high blood pressure or high cholesterol. The only vascular issues I have are in my legs where I have had varicous veins stripped out - But they still ache occasionally :-( Answer to that? Yep, you have guessed it. Weight loss again!

The new house is right in the middle of some lovely walks. So I will have even less excuse to sit on my bum all weekend!

Cheers
