Brief Answer:
What's your weight and height? Do you snore at night?

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully. This seems concerning for sleep apnea. However, I will like to know what your weight and height. This will help me calculate your BMI to tell whether it puts you at risk for sleep disorders. Also, do you snore at night? Have early morning headache? Feel sleepy throughout the day? Feel tired and unable to concentrate? These would help me formulate a detailed and helpful response to address your worries.

I look forward hearing from you and do promise to respond as soon as your responses get here.
