a couple other questions about arousals. At home Is he woke up by pain or pets. does internal or external noise wake him up? of course pets aren't in the lab, but pain could be. also we don't know how noisy the lab is, inside and outside.

Thanks for these replies... What a caring community.

One doc mentioned something about the limb movements and said there was a medication that could help with that, but there are side effects. Anyone have familiarity with this med?

Thanks for the reply. No medications being taken. Primary issue is difficulty concentrating, "brain fog." Also reporting light sensitivity, sensitivity to motion (as when looking at computer screens). The number that jumps out at me is the arousal events: C. AROUSAL EVENTS 1. Total number of arousal...

Just posted it!

It looks like the data is all from a titration study. You need to post the data from the first study without cpap. That will show what untreated sleep looks like.

Well, the most recent doctor said he thought CPAP was unlikely to create improvement based on his view of the sleep study numbers, which has prompted this post seeking other's views. He's was on CPAP for four months last year with no improvement, got frustrated and quit, then learned that (1) often ...

Hey, thanks everybody, got the original sleep study: Sex: male BMI: 24 kg/m2 Age: 31.2 Type of Study: PSG UCLA#W5142418 Referring Physician: KAREN LEE CSN: 90046733428 ESS: 14/24† Test Date: 5/22/2017 PHQ-9 Score: 10/27‡ † Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS): A score of ? 10 signifies excessive sleepines...

Thank you, this is helpful. I don't think that the subject slept long enough to make a conclusive diagnosis. The patient clearly is having sleep difficulties, but it might be exaggerated due to being "all wired up" at the sleep lab. If they want to try CPAP, I suggest giving it a shot. Also, I sugge...

More data: Impression: 1. CPAP setting of 6cmH2O effectively improved sleep disordered breathing during REM sleep and in the lateral position and stabilized oxygen saturation at 97%. 2. The patient slept 2.7 hours out of a total 7.1 hours bedtime monitored, yielding reduced sleep efficiency of 38%. ...

Hi CPAP community, I'm trying to get help for a friend. He posted this, then a troll kind of shut the conversation down (called me a liar and said we were one person posing as two?!), so there was no helpful advice. My friend discontinued posting to this forum. But he still needs support. The latest...

Someone said the PDFs were difficult to read, so I provided a typed version, which is why the post begins with "this should be easier to read." I typed up Sadman's numbers.

Not the same person.
