Gaining

Sleep apnea/cpap and weight gain

Is Sleep Apnea something that's inevitable when gaining weight? I'm assuming so but I'm just wondering if there are any people out there that are above 300lbs and don't need one

I once has a fling with someone who was 148kg which is comfortably over 300lbs. She had no apnea issues, didn't snore either.

OSA incidence is correlated with obesity but as it is a physiological affect usually related to fat deposits near the upper airways, where your body deposits fat makes a big difference as to when/if you will develop it as you gain.

I started heavily snoring and having sleep disturbance and sleep apnea right after I gained over 104kg. Just got a CPAP at 116kg now and it's really needed to get a good night's sleep. So it seems for some people it's directly related to getting fatter. I'm still trying to accept it more.
