I said you sleep more the less oxygen you get, not the converse (ie, because you get less oxygen, you sleep more). And it is a factual statement that obese people are likelier to have sleep apnea, it is not a "stigma" and there is nothing wrong in suggesting that people who aren't in that category get tested too, don't try to find things to get offended by.

I am just going to reply to this comment instead of going through each of yours. You are saying a lot about "Tact" but have yet to actually propose an alternative to how the OP said what they said.

It is fairly common that because someone is not in a traditionally higher risk group for a common thing that they don't get tested for it, even if they have certain symptoms. This is the case both personally and doctors make this mistake as well.

Pointing out that people that do not fall within the group that is traditionally associated with sleep apnea should likely get tested if they show certain symptoms is valid as is mentioning that group. It is a fairly basic health PSA.

So if you are going to keep complaining about "Tact" than offer your own alternative about how to relay this information. And omitting "obese" is not actually helping anyone.

Wow imagine being offended by the mention of a direct casual connection between obesity and a health condition.
