Hi Chapalauser, I'm looking to get an ASV machine. It doesn't look like OSCAR charts show CA events for ASV machine, does it? If yes, how do you know central apneas are treated? Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the insights. Maybe I'll try to turn down PS to 1 or 2 to see how it goes. So my current machine is Auto BiPAP, which means EPAP and IPAP are auto-adjusted during the night, but PS is constant. Can I use an ASV machine as an Auto BiPAP with Auto PS? I read in the ASV manual that ...

Hi everyone, I was so happy I found this forum. Reading all the posts here has educated me about sleep apnea more than my sleep doctor. Anyway, last month I got 2 at-home sleep studies from 2 different hospitals (just to compare the results). Both results came back positive for severe sleep apnea (A...

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for your replies. Last night, I took 5mg melatonin and I got about 5 hours of non-stop sleep, then woke up and was able to fall back to sleep quickly.

It is also possible to find the local Medical School Teaching hospital, and call their Social Worker for them to waive the cost of things. Might be ...

You are in Texas; you have my condolences. I'm reading your posts in another 3-year-old topic . well, it isn't necessary to be specific for Texas state, if you have any advice/experience about buying BSBC insurance plan (HMO, PPO), please let me know. It's kinda hard for me when I moved here and kn...

Hello, So I just moved to Houston last month for college. I bought the health insurance plan called AIG through University of Houston which is about $500/semester.
