"the sleep testing machines are better at determining whether you're asleep than you are. before I started cpap, I'd watch tv, and I'd be told "you were snoring" and yet I'd swear that I never went to sleep.... of course, watching that tv show again, there'd be big chunks of it that I didn't rememb...

But it does not say "cessation of breathing". Right! Poor choice of words. Something like " cessation or reduction " of respiration" might have been better. Technically, it's PAT AHI This Index includes the number of Apnea and Hypopnea events per hour of actual sleep. Now why do you suppose they ha...

thanks sucks that i don't have the raw data because i can't zoom in. i'm still a bit dumbfounded that it's saying i slept for ~400 minutes when i think the correct number should be about half of that. maybe i will eventually get some type of data acquisition setup to track things over time. my docto...

I hear you man! You made me realize that I don't fully understand how to interpret this information too. Also, There is one more page that came in the fax machine that I missed. I will upload the picture here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/50990833@N02/17225105572/ link: https://www.flickr.com/photo...

subscribing to see what you find out i am trying to get my watchpat data from my sleep doctor because i was skeptical about the diagnosis and would like to go to a sleep center for a full test also, i know that it shouldn't directly affect your breathing, but are there any environmental factors that...

What kind of "in home sleep test did you have?" Did it just clip on your finger or what? We can work you through the details, but the final answer is almost certainly that you have sleep apnea and need to decide whether you want to do CPAP or do you want to die slowly by degrees?

Have your wife listen to this youtube video and ask her if you sound like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bFTcmREtqQ Wow that's bad! No as far as I know from what she tells me, she doesn't hear anything unless I wake up and I am consciously trying to control my own breathing (deep inhales an...

Btw, if you're a 'back sleeper' (which provokes more apneas in most people, especially if you're not on Cpap), make every effort to not do so at least until you have a better idea of what's happening even if it means putting pillows etc. behind you to keep it from happening overnight, and see if yo...

thanks for the response and information...sounds like i should just re-test to confirm and go from there based on what you are saying

you ask a question in the title and never go back to it. and, unless it's faulty, the answer to the title question is "no". though i don't know what you're thinking of as being "false". Good question, and my apologies! Yes, as the title states, I was wondering if the the diagnosis of sleep apnea ba...

Hello All, I joined up because my fiance and I are both getting aggravated over a potential sleep apnea issue...so I hope I can get some good insight here! I had gone to my sleep doctor twice in the past: The first time was to investigate the possibility of having sleep apnea because I frequently wo...
