Hi.

I apologise if this has already a question that has been asked, I`m new to this.

I like most people, have been snoring for some years, and only decided recently to do something about it.
Having seen the Consultant, I scored 11, out 25 on questions, and Consultant said that he was not convinced that I had Sleep Apnea.
The usual tests where done, and yes I have been diagnosed with OSA, and now on CPAP, and yes struggling with it.

Everything I`ve ready, gives the symptoms, as TIREDNESS, DROWSINESS DURING THE DAY, HEADACHES, none of these I have ever suffered with.
Contacted DVLA, and sent questionarre back, and have heard nothing since.
I work in the Emergency Services, and I`m obviously concerned about my job. Having worked in the job now for 31 years, I`ve never fely tired, sleepy when on duty, and drive various Emergency Vehicles.
Is anyone in the Emergency Services, that has has similar problems. How long does it take for DVLA to act on this, and are the "Dont Drive" regulations, or Recommendations only, not had a letter officially stating anything about not being allowed to Drive.

Any Help Please
