My first sleep study is showing an AHI of 99. The medical care here is very bad and I have a delay in getting a machine due to scheduling on the second test and available appt. with the doctor. Should I get a machine on my own and start using it?

I have to get another study done. Probably another month before that's done and then I was told I have to make another appt. with the doctor (more time wasted) and then he has to do the script. I don't see getting one very soon. That's concerning for me.

I just looked at my sleep study results and I don't think my doctor is very good at reviewing it. He told me that a sleeping heart rate of 63 is bad.

I want to move forward with getting a machine on my own without my doctor. He is not helping me at all. I have a report from my first study which I am trying to get a copy of. Is it possible to get an APAP that I pay for on my own and figure this out without him?

Thank you. I didn't think about getting a copy. I will call Monday to get that.

I see some people get studies done at home. Can the second one be done at home? I don't think my doctor is very knowledgeable on this. He said I probably drink a lot of caffeine products. I told him no, I rarely do. He said in his opinion I probably shouldn't be driving. I told him I don't get sleep...

How many sleep studies do you normally have to have? I had one that cost me $500 and now my doctor said he wants another one because they didn't get what my pressure should be. This second one will cost me $1000. Do I really need to get this second one? The first one was awful and I had to be off wo...
