Re: Underwent Modified UPPP & Tongue Coblation
Simpy, I understand your concern. It looks like you have a lot of CSA events. But, looking the total number vs hours slept, I'm guessing your AHI is only around 2.0, actually not too bad. Also, I'm not sure your breathing (flow) is all that suppressed. Could be just a matter of scale. The graph lim...

Re: Underwent Modified UPPP & Tongue Coblation
Hi, all Thanks for the responses. Jay: Yeah, I have a soft cervical collar thing I tried before my surgery and it didn't really seem to do anything. The doctor advised it probably wouldn't, but I wanted to try. I might give it another go now. I use a full face mask: my nose is fine now, but the nasa...

Re: Underwent Modified UPPP & Tongue Coblation
Unfortunately some surgeries can be a bit of a toss of the dice. It may be that the location of the airway colapse shifted lower or that the gradual decrease in swelling changed things. Let the members of this forum form a support team to help make sure PAP can work for you this time. The experienc...

Underwent Modified UPPP & Tongue Coblation
Hi, all Seven weeks ago, I underwent modified UPPP and tongue coblation surgery to fix my sleep apnea. Previous to that (6 months prior), I had a septoplasty to open up one side of my nose was blocked. Initial results from the uppp/tongue coblation were positive: from weeks 3-6 or so, I was like a d...

Re: Relatively new CPAP user - question about time asleep
The more I understand this, the more troubling it seems to be.
My flow rate data, from what I've read so far, seem to be rather troubling.

Re: Relatively new CPAP user - question about time asleep
I just added the direct link in my post so you should be able to see it now. Also, I've just noticed that I have no data for 'flow' in ResScan. I have downloaded all detailed data for all my time, but no days show any 'flow' data. Is that normal? Edit: figured it out. I needed to select the addition...

Re: Relatively new CPAP user - question about time asleep
Dear kteague Thank you for your wonderful response. 1. I've attached my ResScan report from last night (right click -> open in new tab to see the right side) (link = http://i.imgur.com/XO8cIVm.png) 3. I don't use meds, so that's not an issue. 4 & 5. May need to do this later on. You make a good poin...

Re: Relatively new CPAP user - question about time asleep
Hm. It appears I may need to post my info after all.
Looking deeper into my resscan reports and from reading on this forum, it seems like my flow limitation values are rather high. Given that my AHI is so low, this could be the cause for why I'm still feeling tired.

Re: Relatively new CPAP user - question about time asleep
I use ResScan.
But I'm just really after some general experiences from other people who used to sleep a long time and if they do now on CPAP or not.
Anyone?

Relatively new CPAP user - question about time asleep
Hi, all I was diagnosed with sleep apneoa last October (around 39 events a night). Before that, I used to sleep about 11-12 hours a night. My doctor said I did this to compensate for the poor sleep I was having, which was very much true. I used to feel horrible if I didn't get enough sleep. Since th...
