Re: Sleep study tests - Do I need a Second one to confirm my Apnea ?

If it looks like the wait for your equipment will be too long, consider buying a lightly used Autoset. You can often find them for sale in this forum, on Craigslist, or on Facebook among other places. It is always recommended to have a backup/spare cpap in case yours stops working or gets damaged. ...

Re: Sleep study tests - Do I need a Second one to confirm my Apnea ?

In other words, why was there a mention of CPAP in the sleep study report? I find some other things puzzling as well. The report seems to say you didn't wake up at all during the night; does that correspond to your experience? It also seems to say you had no REM sleep and no deep sleep; did your do...

Re: Sleep study tests - Do I need a Second one to confirm my Apnea ?

What you do need is a titration study where they try to get the right pressure for you. This method is much faster than you trying at home, alone. . Thank you do I need the Titration study prior to getting the CPAP machine ? The doctor sent the CPAP machine prescription to some durebale machine com...
