Second Titration Study went MUCH better

First one was kind of a train wreck I guess. So this time they gave me some Xanax and it all went great. Slept 8 1/2 hours with only one interruption by the tech asking me to turn over on my back. I did and went right back to sleep. Pressures were 8 on my side and 14 on my back. Don't have the full ...

Re: A third sleep study in a month?

I guess that was why they were working so hard to get me into "supine" REM sleep and were bent out of shape about it that they didn't. The tech (very nice young man, seems very competent) said I was the first patient he had ever had that he couldn't get into REM. It's nice to be "special". Isn't it?...

Re: A third sleep study in a month?

Ask them for a fully data capable auto cpap and to do the study over several weeks at home first. Yes, that was what I was thinking. I already have a track record of not producing the desired data in their clinic. I would think an APAP with full data for a month would answer the question. Has anyon...

A third sleep study in a month?

New member here. First I wanted to thank the folks that pay for this site and welcome us in. Thanks! I had an in-clinic study done, and it turned up severe sleep apnea. OK then comes the titration study, which was last night. This morning the tech was talking about the need for a third study. Why? B...
