Miracle? ZERO at home study, throat good, no CPAP? Wtf
ahi 60+ normally.
Anyone else ever have this happen?
Im hoping i am just an idiot. I dialed in my sleep position for CPAP and never tried the position without CPAP. When sleeping without the mask its always by accident, as with all tests I am on my back.
My throat doesn't lie, no puking, no headache, ringing in ears is light.
Would be an amazing turn of luck. Mayo thinks its a mistake, I am not so sure.
I will sleep on my back next week so I get the in house study paid for. Then I test my theory.
What if its that simple?
Meds are needed to use my machine, meds not working. Hence the need for Mayo to figure something else out then this happened! I was just hitting endgame, 6'1" @ 150 dropping fast.
Mayo said it could be the weight loss but I know that's not it. I get crushed normally without my mask, even a small nap.
Had to tell someone. No one else can understand what this might mean for me. Even if its just moderate or mild it opens up more treatment options, dental etc.
CPAP position without CPAP, maybe the CPAP was not needed the entire time. It would explain my numbers. On my back the machine cant push past at 20cm. On my side I knew it was 7-9cms with more success. Never occurred to me i might not need it at all if I can hold that position.
A lucky break if true.
I better try to sleep.

Re: Miracle? ZERO at home study, throat good, no CPAP? Wtf
I am not quite sure I understand what you're saying as far as sleep position? Do you mean when you did a home sleep study, without a mask, that you slept in a position that you normally do when you have ON a mask and you had no AHI's during the study?

Agree - I have no idea what you're trying to say (but certainly losing weight can help).

I think he is trying to say that he thinks his OSA might be heavily related to sleeping position due to a negative home sleep study and wondering if he could stay in whatever position it is that doesn't seem to make OSA worse that maybe he could get off cpap.
He's also lost some unknown amount of weight which may or may not be impacting things.
He is following up with the Mayo Clinic though....so he isn't just abandoning cpap. Sounded more to me like he was thinking out loud and like a lot of us...what we hear in our head doesn't always come out as clearly as it was when it was in our head.

Why are you attacking somebody who has never attacked you? You claim you are only rude in response to bullies, but clearly, this person has never addressed you in a post. Ever.xxyzx wrote:================Cuda wrote:ahi 60+ normally.

Re: Miracle? ZERO at home study, throat good, no CPAP? Wtf
So is next week an in-lab study? Hopefully you can get some solid answers from an in-lab study instead of more questions. It would be unusual to see that much of a drop in AHI, but hey, I'm guessing stranger things have happened. If I were you I'd make sure the doctor has ordered your legs to be a part of the in-lab study. That is one scenario which can explain wide variables in AHI, as limb movements can mask OSA, as well as OSA can mask limb movements. It's a long shot that this would be your issue, but if your legs are monitored, it could be one more thing ruled out. Good luck with things. Please let us know what you find out. Please don't take it personal about all the smartass comments. Some miserable people thrive off of putting down others. I too was unclear about your message, but too bad some couldn't just simply ask you to clarify. Good luck.

I read the OP's post the same way you did. When he said "mayo", maybe some thought he meant mayonnaise. Anyway, they could have easily asked him to clarify instead of acting like jerks.Pugsy wrote:I think he is trying to say that he thinks his OSA might be heavily related to sleeping position due to a negative home sleep study and wondering if he could stay in whatever position it is that doesn't seem to make OSA worse that maybe he could get off cpap.

You still didn't answer Zoo Crew's question. As kteague pointed out, the poster has posted recently. But even if what you said was correct and it wasn't, that was still not a justification for an attack since he didn't do anything to you.xxyzx wrote:==========zoocrewphoto wrote:Why are you attacking somebody who has never attacked you?
