Did I have the right kind of sleep study last night?

I'm so confused about the sleep study I had last night. I've had 2 sleep studies done last year and have been on CPAP for 9 months. I went to a new pulmonogist who ordered a cpap/bipap titration. I thought that it would be that I would be using a CPAP and they would adjusting the level to test what ...

Aagghh...my dentist never called back despite two messages. Neither did the doctor. So I have to go in there tomorrow ticked at the dentist, with no pain management or the dentist having a clue about the sleep apnea effects. Can't wait to get rid of this holier than thou dentist.. Lovey

I ended up writing a letter to both the doctor and the dentist and faxing it to them today. I want them to develop a plan for my pain management/use of the cpap before the work is done. I need to have my pain managed to the point that I can wear the CPAP...but also not knocked out of commission eith...

The crown is the on the right side, the first molar behind the incisors. I do have a theory that maybe I've slept on the mask edge and it pushed in enough to cause the break. But I have arthritis in my right shoulder, so I sleep on the left, and the crown is on the right, so it seems unlikely. I hav...

Dental work---anybody with experience that hurts afterward?

My dentist is totally clueless on CPAP. I had to explain how the CPAP works. He "decided" by my description of the machine that it caused my new crown (5 months old) to break off the root from the pressure (I don't think so!). He wants to either redo the crown or extract the tooth on Friday. I think...

The sleep center technicians were looking forward to my exhibiting some odd behaviors while there overnight at the first sleep study, since my referral came from a psychiatrist. I was exhausted and didn't wake the whole time...with no behaviors. The technician had told me she'd follow me around with...

tremors

My neurologist was the one that suggested that I had sleep apnea because I had increased tremors--not my general practice doctor. He wants next to see me after 2 months on the CPAP (received this week). Just my feeling that he's basing this on some research that OSA contributes to tremors. I had 82 ...
