SH data - thoughts?

Here's my SH data from my first week on CPAP. My pressure is supposed to be at 14, but I've had to turn it down to get adjusted to it. Right now I'm turning it up by 2 every other night. I think it looks pretty good, but that's just from what I understand. Any thought? I did include the snore graph ...

Re: sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

Thanks Jay. I did mean AHI. I feel like I'm doing what I can w/o bugging the dr., even though I guess I should let him know. I like to be in control of my care and it really bugged me before I learned how to change the settings (thanks to this great board). We're military, so we move every 3 years s...

Re: sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

Sorry I haven't been back here to post. After my titration study, they put me at a pressure of 14, which is so high for me to get used to. I use the ramp feature and will still wake up when the pressure is high. They said they had to put it that high to stop my snoring. I was really looking forward ...

Questions to ask Dr about sleep studies?

I had my titration study last night and see the dr for the first time since before my first sleep study tomorrow. I haven't seen the reports yet, so I was wondering exactly what I should ask him about the 2 studies. The tech who did both my studies mentioned that the pressure had to be turned up qui...

Re: sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

kteague and everyone else, thanks for the support and caring comments. I learned alot about medicines from my mother who was a nurse and sick with alot more than I have. I'm the first to admit that I know just enough to make me dangerous. I don't really have anyone close by, especially since my husb...

Re: How important is which machine is used and what first?

I would want top of the line, of course. Good way to put it.

I'll wait to see what the dr says before I stress out to much over this I think

The S9 line seems to be very popular. Any opinions?

Re: sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

49er - My pdoc is supportive of me getting off some of the meds. He was actually quite happy when he heard that I had a sleep study done. He's pretty conservative for a pdoc, not trying to throw new meds at me and is willing to help me get off some of these meds. We're just worried about my depressi...

How important is which machine is used and what first?

I have my titration study a week from Sunday and will see the dr on the following Tuesday. I want to go in with a pretty good idea of what I want to try first so I can get his opinion on it. So here's my questions. 1) How much does the model of machine matter? It seems like the masks are the big pro...

Re: sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

After reading all this, I really want my report. Seems what they're telling me is just raising more questions than answers. No doctor really ever put me on melatonin, even though my last Rhumatologist did mention taking some when I woke in the middle of the night, but I wasn't on as much as I am now...

Re: sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

Well, I went by to get my report, but it wasn't done electronically yet, just hand-written, so they couldn't give it to me yet. They did tell me that my O2 was below 90% for 26 minutes total, and we ahead and scheduled the titration study for a week from Sun. That's before I see the Dr, but I might ...

Re: sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

yes I only fell asleep for one of the 5 naps. I am hoping that the actual study will tell me more. I take Ambien CR and have been on Ambien. They don't really work for me. I have to be in bed with eyes closed and then either one only has a 50% chance of working. What I do take for sleep is Soma, klo...

Re: sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

Thanks everyone for the responses so far. I'm going to try to get the full report today. All I have is what the nurse told me over the phone. Didn't know what all to ask, but since we're military, I try to get all reports just to make it easier. I was not dx'ed with PLMD to my knowlwdge, only dozed ...

sleep study (PLMD) and health issues - will CPAP help?

Hey everyone. Just found this site yesterday after I got my results from my sleep/nap study. So glad I did! Anyway, they want me to come back for a CPAP sleep trial. The nurse at the clinic said that I have very mild sleep apnea, only stopped breathing 6/hr. But my limb movement was 35/hr and o2 sat...
