Re: Just got diagnosed for "mild sleep apnea" (13 ahi), looking for general advice. 28M, not overweight.

One more update and question. So originally I was given a prescription of 6cm. DME set up my autoset to 4-8cm. Today, I had my titration study. The sleep tech said that 6-7cm was a good pressure for me and I so I should leave the 4-8cm setting on my machine. 2 questions: - can I bump the 4cm to 5cm...

OK guys so night 2 wasn't that great. Moving from 4-8cm to 6-10cm irritated me plus the N20 mask was uncomfortable. Night 3, I got the P10 mask and reverted to 4-8cm. MUCH better. Lots of crazy vivid dreams but still kept waking up. I attached my sleepyhead data here if anyone can help. screenshot-2...

Now that ohip will cover the for her model, what about private insurance. I have manulife. They told me they would cover 80%, they didn't have any list of models to show me. I feel like the vendor will try to say that manulife won't cover any of the autoset models.

Re: Just got diagnosed for "mild sleep apnea" (13 ahi), looking for general advice. 28M, not overweight.

Thanks for the detailed response Pugsy! I am located in Canada (Toronto). Our gov't covers a portion of the cost, my private insurance will cover another portion, and the rest will be out of pocket. Luckily, I don't have to be worried about the financial costs too much. Great idea on the masks. For ...

Just got diagnosed for "mild sleep apnea" (13 ahi), looking for general advice. 28M, not overweight.

I had the follow up to my sleep study with the neurologist yesterday. Only slept 2 hours during the study. AHI of 13, which is apparently high end of mild. Longest breath stoppage was 47 seconds. However, oxygen levels did not dip below 90, which is apparently a good sign. She said that normally wit...
