This particular nightmare is over- do not hold your breath [for 10 seconds ]

You do not know me or I know you... but it was clear from the first that you are the heart and soul of this board.
All I have is sympathy for you. Gene

Getting older looks like a one way trip to me. Might as well enjoy it...

My heart surgeon was wearing a mini skirt the first time I talked with her. I am a fan now no matter what she wants to wear.

Hello sleepy people- long time no see, I have tried the cpap for weeks and got down to around 5AHI- as good as I have ever scored and have been off of it for several weeks, I can detect no difference [ early days I had really good days sprinkled with not so good and bad days] I found a GP [mine reti...

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond. My original sleep study was 59 AHI and while it is better, I have never scored below mid 4.0 AHI. I did notice a great improvement even at an AHI around 10 [average before surgery]. I obviously was battling poor heart performance but it still was like th...

I am going to post a couple charts for comparison- one before surgery [end of Jan, 23] and one now [jun 2,23] as the apneas seem like they would mean something. Before surgery I could feel a real difference from a night of cpap treatment https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tk8so52wahdjez24k2czd/screensho...

Julie- I am taking a bunch of medications prescribed by my cardiologist [almost all different from the drugs I was taking for high blood pressure for most of my adult life [prescribed by my GP] My BP was often under 100 during cardiac rehab [they would check 3 to 6 times during/before/after the sess...

I have used Oscar from the start- I am now at 14cm which my sleep pro picked out last year. Everyone told me to bring my cpap to the hospital but no-one really wanted any part of using it. And I had other things on my mind after surgery. After rehab I have returned to cpap therapy but had a harder t...

So I could dial in 4cm and get an approximation? I had open heart surgery [unconnected] and my wife now sez that I do not have the noticeable apneas that she listened to for years before I resumed cpap and, aside from today, I have not noticed any of the positive physical markers that I enjoyed earl...

Is it possible to use the recording function of your cpap to determine your AHI number with no machine correction? I messaged my sleep professional asking if a new sleep study might be called for and ,of course, got no reply. As an asside, I got under the magic number [5] last night for the first ti...

RE...CE is how I remember how to spell it, and I cannot remember anything any more.

I have been using this forum and it's helpful members to try to arrange my thoughts into something coherent. I am confused and along with the tiredness have had trouble mentally. I was trained as an electronics technician and my mind is accustomed to being able to figure things out, now [perhaps old...

To clarify, I have been sleeping without the cpap for several weeks. I understand that sleep apnea does not go away and I agree that I need to do another sleep test. I lived for 75 years without cpap and would say I was a high functioning adult until my world crashed and I spent a year struggling wi...
