As an Anesthesiologist before becoming a pilot, I can tell you with certainty that everyone has sleep apnea. The more fatigued you are and sleep deprived, the deeper you fall into sleep and thus have apnic episodes. This is physiologic. The sleep apnea business is different. They want everyone to get CPAP machines etc, just a scam. If you don't get enough slep, you will have sleep apnea, 140 lbs, or 240 lbs, its all the same. If they use this against you it is just a tool to remove you without fair scientific judgement and I would pursue this to the top if it was me they were after.
