Well, tried my cpap at the new lower level. Didn't seem to have any problems during the night. Felt just mildly fuzzy when I woke up but maybe that will go away. If not, may have to kick it up to a 6 as therapist mentioned. JKR

I talked to my r therapist today. She had me turn the pressure down from a 7 to a 5 to see how that would work. JKR

Thanks, Den. I definitely agree that the apnea and obesity feed off each other. I guess I can't be sure that the apnea will be gone with the weight though it seems like many bariatric physicians make that claim so maybe that's another way I've gotten into that line of thinking. I do want my daughter...

We think my husband will always have the apnea. I suppose I will have to have a sleep study when I stop losing weight.

My snoring became more and more pronounced as I gained weight. I thought it was just the extra weight and then wa...

Losing weight, how do I know when I no longer need cpap?

Hi, I'm a newbie. My hubby and I both have dueling cpaps! However, I am losing weight and have lost 55 lbs so far. My apnea is definitely due to obesity. My question is: Does anybody know if there are any signs to indicate I may no longer need the machine? This week I've been having minor headaches ...
