I have a fraternal twin sister; therefore, we do not look very much alike. My sister has sleep apnea. When I sent a picture of the two of us with our Mom to Dr. Phillips, she became concerned because she noticed that our mouths were alike. She sent me to a sleep lab where I was tested, and I found out that I had sleep apnea as well! For my sister, it was her husband who noticed the problem. I live alone, and if it hadn't been for Dr. Phillips keen sense of observation, I might not be here to tell this story. IT's nice to know that even though I live alone, there is someone watching me and caring about me.
