I think that it should be pointed out that many of these problems are caused by long tern undetected or untreated apnea and that once treatment starts many of these riskes subside drastically. I also wanted to point out that the same article says this "Interestingly, one study suggested that althoug...

Heidi...I am brand new to this world and still afraid of it in many ways. But one thing that I am doing that is helping is that I am looking at my machine as if it were a motorcycle helmet that protects me rather than a crutch that helps me hobble along. Just a small thing that is helping me to keep...

Does anyone know if Acupuncture has ever been considered for a treatment for Sleep Apnea? And/or how is sleep apnea treated in China?

I have never tried that. But I wanted to add that several years ago I was told that there was a study done at some university where subjects lived on several 20 minute catnaps daily for a period of time and did quite well.

I have been told that I have Mixed Apnea after seeing the results of my sleep study. The odd th...

Thanks. I am still wondering what the difference in significance is between AP C and AP C+AR. Does anyone know?

On the respiratory graph he pointed out the few "true" Centrals that I had, but said that I had Moderate Mixed Apnea and seemed to be more focussed on the Obstructives. On the Respiratory Graph it seems to differe...

Well I have received my sleep study results. I was told that at this point I have Moderate Mixed Apnea. My average oximetry was 96.5%. That breaks down to 96.8% of the night I was in the 90-100% range. 14.5% of the night I was in the 80-89% range and 1% of the night I was in the 70-79% range. The Me...
