Re: oxgen level 93 at night do i still need the oxygen or will they now take me off.

the sleep test I took was to determine if i needed oxygen again and whether insurance was going to continue to pay for it.
93 is good then.
in past it was lower like in 2016 so they told me i needed oxygen.
i am so happy then :)
no more oxygen for me.

I do have other medical issues as well. going to see doctor on tuesday plus get more blood work done. Good luck. Unfortunately, you have to do a lot to manage your own health care, even without apnea blindness. Doctors tend to have a lot of other blind spots as well. true. i am still learning.

Re: horrible I don't know. could my bipap be making me feel horrible

the sleep clinic reviewed the sleep data in march 2018. she said all was ok. i do have a hernia Unfortunately, to a sleep clinic or DME, "everything is OK," often means "you're using it enough time every night that I'm still going to get paid."

Re: horrible I don't know. could my bipap be making me feel horrible

What are your pressure settings? Confirm 20 inhale and 12 exhale? That's a difference of 8 cm...pretty big difference. An unusual difference unless you have special needs. Have they changed recently? Do you have a history of GERD or hiatal hernia or heart burn or stomach issues? Odd that it would j...

Re: Full Face Mask AND Taping Mouth Shut?

Hello, I have been an on and off CPAP user for about 8 months. I was into a pretty good rhythm and noticed my weight went from 250 to 218 lbs and I was feeling really good and wondered if my apnea might be cured. The woman at the DME company said, instead of having another sleep test, I could set t...

Re: horrible I don't know. could my bipap be making me feel horrible

the pain will start on right side in front, then back radiating and then to left side back and force with so much gas.
maybe a muscle spasm too.
i literally had to sit down calmly on a chair, wanting to cry, felt like death because the pain was so horrendous i felt like death.
