When I went to Cleveland clinic, the physician suggested Sleep studies for all Lipedema patients. so I did. I was sort of borderline but I did get set up. Been on it 5 months. still adjusting but not hard. It hasn't made me feel any different but CPap changed my husband life. he even admits it to other men, like at golf etc. he couldn't stay awake anytime he sat down. he has more energy than any 70 yr old male I know.

lipedema women getting sleep studies would be great. There are parameters that you must meet to qualify for a sleep study, including snoring, fatigue, headaches, aches, along with other symptoms. If lipedema women have these symptoms then yes, it’s important to pursue a sleep study to determine if you have OSA and need treatment.
