Re: One week of data

. For the most part my AHI has been below 0.5 all week with a single night closer to 0.8. If anyone has osme thoughts on that night, feel free to bring them up. https://sleephq.com/public/4b953f99-e1fb-4efb-b0d5-b1faeb1ce6a9 Thanks for the advice and feedback. Those AHI values are very good, congra...

Re: One week of data

Less than 1.0 AHI I don't even bother looking at mine. :lol: Honestly, I'm mainly surprised this is working this well this quickly and wanted some validation it's not all a house of cards. You are doing very well. Typical issues sorting out which mask is going to have more positives than negatives ...

One week of data

I've been using my new Airsense 11 for 2 weeks (tonight). I'm not going to pretend like I enjoy it. But I am sleeping better (and quieter) so I'm sticking with it. I've bounced around between a few different masks and thought I would put my thoughts here for posterity and then ask for some thoughts ...

Re: So I guess I have OSA - what happens next?

I tried that mask at my mask fitting 2 weeks ago and hated it. It was too big and all up in my line of sight. Comfortable, but the past 2 weeks have me thinking it would have leaked like crazy since I'm a side sleeper and every other mask has had that issue. My (very) short experience has me agreein...

Re: Anyone heard about the Transcend Micro?

Since they don't ship until next week, I would think the reviews will be "paid" until after that timeframe.

Titration Study Observations

Last night I went in for my follow up titration sleep study (the one where you wear a mask and they change the pressure while you sleep). Here are some observations from the night from me. The mask wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It still sucked and I don't like the idea of a dead octopus on...

Re: Oral mouth piece success??

I am currently using one while I get over my denial of CPAP. It seems to stop my snoring if it stays in place. But due to my wearing of a retainer it isn't as tight as it used to be and sometime slips off my teeth. Also, it is putting some serious pressure on my forn teeth and if I wasn't wearing re...

Re: Questions on my sleep study results

And my husband isn't deaf or hard of hearing. His hearing is just fine except for when I tell him to do something...then he doesn't hear so great. :lol: I would bet your wife says you also have selective hearing loss. Pretty sure that's the best evidence for Acupressure. The left ring finger in men...

Re: Questions on my sleep study results

I have some of those masks that PUGSY is referring to, in fact, I got them from PUGSY. I'm getting ready to send them back to her, but give me your address, I will send them to you, instead. (If it is alright with PUGSY). Give me a day or two to wash them, as I have beeen trying all of them out to ...

Re: Questions on my sleep study results

The 10 second metric isn't how long you stay awake but how long the breathing interruption lasts. The 10 second metric is the minimum duration of the apnea event to earn a flag. If it only lasts 9 seconds it wouldn't earn a flag or be counted...I would bet my last dollar you had some that lasted 9 ...

Re: Questions on my sleep study results

The Nile is not just a river in Egypt and I'm perfectly willing to be called out for it (otherwise, I wouldn't be here). I don't want any of you to take this as me doubting your expertise but as me trying to understand the need for the level of effort that seems to be required to go down this path. ...

Questions on my sleep study results

I had a sleep study done (in the lab polysomnogram) and was diagnosed with "Severe Sleep Apnea." But in reviewing the results I am wondering if this is making a mountain out of a molehill. Some anecdotal information first. I definitely snore and its much worse on my back even though I usually sleep ...
