Re: dreamwear --nasal or pillow

I'm late to the party, but I feel like the Dreamwear has very poor air flow for some reason. I get crazy low leak rates and it feels good, just doesn't let me breathe as well for some reason. I've read reviews that said something similar. Not sure why it restricts air flow compared to other masks.

CPAP numbers look good and still feel AWFUL daily

37 year old male. 5'8, about 155 pounds, fairly muscular and fit. Active job in a warehouse lifting/moving stuff all day. Over a year ago, an in-lab sleep study showed 4.7 AHI and 18 RDI over 2.75 hours of sleep. A bunch of unclassified RERA's (about 50) were detected. My sleep doctor said I didn't ...

I don't think it is going to be pink or anything, for instance. Probably just a little logo on it and the screen ...

Re: Should I opt to buy a CPAP or go for a second sleep study?

Yes, I have been researching OSA and UARS for months trying to figure out more about what I have.

Should I opt to buy a CPAP or go for a second sleep study?

36 year old male, 5'8 and 160 pounds. Very fit/muscular and active, in spite of being exhausted (I lift weights on days when I can sleep longer and feel more rested).
