About how many hours of sleep do you usually get per night, and are you a light sleeper? Your situation is too familiar. I've been diagnosed with UARS and haven't yet found the machine effective. MD thinks I need very high pressures, even though AHI as measured by the machine is usually 1 or less. ...

I would appreciate comments from anyone else having a low Vitamin D/Serum Level count. I actually tested my vitamin D levels about a year ago and wasn't quite in the optimal reference range (my D3 was 27.7 ug/l, the optimal range is 30-80). I went a little crazy on the vitamin D3 supplementation (t...

Yea, I was wondering that too. So far the machine has never gone over 12 pressure and it's been 9 or under 95% of the time.

You sound a lot like me. I am 29. AHI of 7.7 on home sleep study, am 148 lbs (5 feet 8 inches). Tell you what do you have any nasal congestion, deviated septum? frequent sinus infections or allergies?/ Try sleeping with a breathe right strip and see if that helps?? Also what do you thnk about looki...

I had an AHI over 30 but they were all hypopneas and no desats below 92%, and CPAP has made a HUGE difference.... once I fixed the mouth breathing. What kind of arousal frequency did you have during the study if you remember? Although your untreated AHI is was much higher than mine it does give som...

What is your body weight, height, neck circumference. I'm skinny (5 foot 11, 140 pounds) and in my late 20s male. Neck circumference 14 inches/35.5 cm. I have a small jaw and snore occasionally especially when drunk (haven't been drinking since I've gotten the sleep study done). Respiratory effort ...

I had a sleep study done a month ago: 5 hours 30min asleep without CPAP: - AHI of 7.8 - Only one apnea, 42 hypopnea events most of which lying on my back - Oxygen saturation never dropped under 90% - 116 micro arousals or 21 per hour It was a split night study but there was not quite enough time to ...
