Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

Okay, I'm attempting to use Imgur lol... This is the ASV paper I was able to get ahold of from 4bettersleep, I still cannot get any of their other papers, they have not sent any other ones to my doctor and I am no longer able to log in on the patient portal for some reason.

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

* Have your blood tests for inflammation done again in a month or two. You want to find out whether it's acute or chronic. More here: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/21660-inflammation It's been well over a year with the inflammation issues but they have not found anything at all. I ...

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

I have several pages of my first two sleep studies from the allergy and breathing clinic, but I don't know how to attach them to the forums. Can anyone help me with how to do that? I have my paper from my ASV study but I cannot access ANY of the other 2 studies that 4bettersleep did, I can't even ge...

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

:arrow: I received a call today from the sleep clinic stating they can’t get me an ASV machine through the clinic because of my insurance so they have sent my prescription to aeroflow to be filled through them? I googled the company and all I can find are terrible reviews. :?: I am still trying to g...

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

This waking up, while far from optimal, is better than sleeping on your back and desaturating. Which dangers do you fear? Two ways of checking that out: 1) Ask your PCP for a full night's recording of your oxygenation. Professional recording pulse oximeters are reliable and expensive - the ones you...

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

You mentioned a "sinus inflammation issue". Is that cleared up now? Does the wedge pillow help that? Do you have skin allergies that flare up your rosacea (also an inflammatory reaction) with contact with certain materials (i.e. silicone) or was it the stress from the testing? There are cloth masks...

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

Were they clear about trying to back-sleep vs side sleep to bring down your hypopneas that usually are worse if back sleeping? There are ways to keep from doing it. The doctor I spoke to said I need to sleep on my side only, which I typically do at home with no issues. It was hard to at the test wi...

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

What do I do from here? 😢 you come here where we can, hopefully, help you. did you get a copy of the sleep tests? these are yours by law. (i'm assuming you're in the united states.) and did they write you a prescription for a machine? we need to see that sleep test to see if you really need an asv ...

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

. . . didn’t listen to anything I said. . . . What were you saying that they did not acknowledge? They kept saying I cannot drive because I would be extremely tired and not be able to concentrate while driving. I told them I have no issues driving at all, I do not get tired while driving or during ...

“Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.

Earlier this year I started snoring and it bothered my husband so I went to a sleep clinic and they did 2 sleep studies and didn’t listen to anything I said. The first study was without a machine and they said that I have hypopneas so needed a second study. The second sleep study was with a cpap/bip...
