Will all due respect, if a physician who has examined you is unable to diagnosis any detectable health problem, why would you think members of the forum are able to so?

Perhaps a consult, examination and laboratory testing with another physician will serve you better.

I have a feeling Picard's doctor is a very busy individual. wink



Indeed... shocked

Do you snore??

Sleep apnea is a disorder that is caused by a variety of things which wake you slightly from a deep sleep. It breaks your sleep pattern yet you probably do not notice it. Snoring is a very strong indication, but the only way to tell is with a sleep study.

google sleep apnea for more detailed information.

In the past year or so I've noticed that I am able to nap at the end of the work day. For various reasons I do not get a full 8 hours of sleep most weeknights, and end up sleeping in a bit more on the weekends, both of which set me up for the "groggies" at about 4:00 pm or so. It would be prudent for me to get to bed sooner, keep a regular sleep schedule, and not have to travel quite so much. Hotel beds and time changes screw me up for sleep a lot as well.

Just for your education, Rhinovirus is associated with “the common cold”, not “the flu”. “The flu” is caused by Influenza. Gastroenteritis (“stomach flu”) is unrelated to both, and is attributed to several viruses and other factors.
