I have what is refered to as subclinical hypothyroid, with symptoms that are consistent with my depressive disorder: low energy, fatigue, etc. The pdoc suspected it and so I was tested and was slightly hypothyroid per lab tests. So, the pdoc recommended augmenting my ADs with synthroid and cytomel. It did help.
CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. It is a machine that blows air, through a tube to a mask I wear over my nose. The air pressure acts as a sort of "splint" to keep my airway open so I can breathe continuously while I sleep. Otherwise, the soft tissue of my airway slacks and closes off, cause apnea, which is cessation of breathing. I had become a total zombie for a few years because of the apnea. My blood oxygen was cut off and I was getting about a quarter of the required REM sleep and deep sleep. I do not know how I functioned at all.
