I think they dropped me on my head at no extra charge or something. My mother smoked like a furnace until I was ten years old (thanks for that scar tissue in my lungs from second-hand smoke, mom!) and I was born in one of the former malpratice capitals of the country.

Mild Sleep Apnea By Definition. Mild cases are actually mild cases of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). After a polysomnography, the AHI ratings can be properly determined. 5 to 15 AHI per hour during sleep is considered as a mild case. Mild cases are often not at much risk, and treatment for these cases is not too complicated.
Moderate Sleep Apnea. Having Moderate Sleep Apnea is like having had a moderate heart attack: while better than Severe, it's still dead serious. Mistakenly, my first reaction when getting the diagnosis of Moderate Sleep Apnea was relief. Well, at least I'm not too far gone, I thought, as I let my guard down and didn't get serious about my Sleep Apnea treatment. Then I did some research and found out what Moderate Sleep Apnea means.
