Re: CPAP titration study - abnormally low numbers?

Re: CPAP titration study - abnormally low numbers?

Well yea that’s what I was hoping for, some type of assurance that I’m not crazy and that CPAP doesn’t work for me.

General sleep apnea question

Hi all, I haven't been sleeping normally for the past 10 years and it's been getting progressively worse over the past 5.
