Tutorial
Dr. Jones has been following Calvin Shin for several years for obstructive sleep apnea. He had been doing well with reduced symptoms of daytime sleepiness since he had been using his CPAP machine. Dr. Jones was reviewing John's chart in his clinic. He missed his appointment several months ago but booked an urgent appointment through his family doctor. Calvin explains that he thinks his tongue, nose and lips have been getting thicker. He also states that he seems to be sweating and his skin feels thicker and oilier than it used to.
