My doctor retired and the new one wants to do another study. I’ll ask the doc if taking a break before doing a new study is necessary.

I was diagnosed with central sleep apnea several years ago. I’m having another lab sleep study in 10 days. I seem to recall that you’re supposed to discontinue using your machine about a week before a new study because central apnea has a memory and the results won’t be correct. Does anyone know if ...

I went from fixed pressure CPAP to ASV after I changed to a new sleep doc that correctly diagnosed me with mild central sleep apnea. (I paid for the new machine) My issues with aerophagia went away completely and I felt much more comfortable on ASV. Also, my AHI went to zero. I still have issues tak...

Thank you, Dr. Krakow for contributing to this forum. I am a fan.

I was diagnosed with CSA (central sleep apnea) with an AHI of 9 so I'm giving vitamin B1 before bed a try to see if my events go down at my next sleep study which is soon.

For the insomnia I took Xanax but it is my understanding that benzodiazepines don’t allow you to reach ...

I use the Dreamwear with a $12 Amazon.com hose hanger and it works well. No flopping around with the hose and I can turn over side to side. I plan to try the N30i. My only complaint with the Dreamwear is the straps on the back slide up during the night.

I use an ASV machine. Maybe trying different masks will help. I tried several until I found one that I could tolerate. Dreamwear works for me but some need full face if they can’t keep their mouths shut.

Dx 2 years ago with an AHI of 9 mild sleep apnea and insurance allowed me a Resmed CPAP machine. After struggling for a year at 11 cm pressure I went for a 2nd opinion and a lab test (the first was at home test). My new doctor is wonderful and the new in lab study showed AHI of 16 and REM associated...
