Hi guys, Just did my first night. Used sleepyhead this morning. I was diagnosed with 7 events hr and 17 in REM in my lab study; had an AHI of 1 yesterday! Pressure at 8, fixed. Since my lab study was a little bit inconclusive (slept 4hrs in all), I want to know if theres a way for me to know what WO...

...do you believe that my symptoms (see below) could be relieved by CPAP, especially that 6.7/hr is considered borderline...??!! Thanks, just looking for feedback! I agree with what was already said about you don't know what it might look like if you had a full night's sleep with more REM. With you...

please read most recent post : UPDATE: Guys, went for a 2nd study. ALSO slept like 3 hrs so they didn't titrate me (it was a split study). The report should be in TODAY but they still told me some details on the phone: 6,7 events per hour, 17 per hour when in REM, and lowest oxygen 85%. Just knowing...

details:

REM sleep time 10.3%.
Apnea and Hyp. are 2.9/hr, but if we add events from upper resistance, it goes to 6.7/hr.
17.1/hr in REM sleep, 5.6/hr in NREM.
Average O of 94.6%, minimum of 85%. BUT only 0.1% of the time below 90%.

help...??!!

At every doctors' office I have ever been to, the appointments are called in the order they are written down on the schedule page. If you don't want people to get in ahead of you, don't arrive so early! (but don't be late) (edit) Note: if you suspect people with later appointments are being called ...

We all have our perceptions. My little story: I was waiting at the Dr.'s office today, 10am appointment. AT LEAST 6 60+old gentleman passed in front of me (im near 30 y old), most probably because the receptionnist felt like they ''deserved'' it more, and me the ''young guy'' can certainly wait....W...

Question; i seem to have symptoms of low oxygen, but maybe not from apnea (more from nasal congestion and deviated septum).

Could they still recommend cpap? Would that be "uars"?

Thanks

Ps i have to wait 10 days to maybe have results, so ill have questions like that..

Hi guys, Good one James Update: 2nd study yesterday. SAME thing as the 1st: hehehe! Even if I was not as nervous, just slept from 3am to 5, approx. So theyve got 2, 2-3hrs studies. Talked to the tech and she said she didnt see too much...told her no wonder, I wanted to sleep so bad that I slept on m...

okie oak

im paying out of pocket so I insisted having a 2nd one soon...but happy that it is not tonight so I will recover from my 2hr night ! for the delay in the results, for some reason, I am naive and I think that I will be able to have some info from the lab tech....hehehe (didnt work on my 2hr night) U...

for mine, the tech said he couldn't give me any info that night ( had a split study with titration the same night), yet they faxed the prescription to a DME not of my choice. (i was mad about that but I did get the CPAP about a week after the sleep study {i made the appt-I with the DME -didn't wait...

glad you are getting in for the second one so soon. i feel confident that you will get answers this time. be patient though, it takes a couple of weeks to get the test results, usually. im paying out of pocket so I insisted having a 2nd one soon...but happy that it is not tonight so I will recover ...

I never said to go cold turkey! But what's stopping you from cutting back slowly? GERD (acid reflux) can be 'silent', disturbing your sleep like mad but not waking you. Do you take anything for it? Even a Tums before bed? I can't really take less than 25mg a day, it's actually the smallest dose (50...

good luck with the next study. now you know what to expect. sounds like you are ready to make a commitment to CPAP, should that be the recommendation. can you get in soon for your sleep study? i got put on a wait list and got in a bit sooner when someone called and cancelled. Next app next tuesday ...
