Would obstructive sleep apnea disqualify me from passing overseas screening for a navy London assignment?
August 28th, 2009 | by admin |StageMgr4u asked:
My navy husband and I are scheduled to move (PCS) to London, England. I have a few health issues like high blood pressure, but they’re well managed and under control. However, now I’ve been told I’ll need to use a BiPap machine (basically forced air to keep my airway open during sleep) for my apnea. Does anyone know if this will put me into the Exceptional Family Member category? We’re all so excited about this assignment, and I’d hate to lose it over this.

Shouldn’t matter. Don’t make a big thing of it.
If appropriate, lose some weight. That can be a contributing to both high blood pressure and OSA.
