I stand corrected.

Does anyone know how often a pressure data point is recorded?

Post was incorrect.

Gosh. I would think your sleep medical team would say one or the other is best for your situation.

It's your legal right to the study. You can demand it.

Sometimes this works quicker if the doctor of the second opinion has his office ask for it. But by all means, you have a right to your own copy.

Just as I may fall asleep with my mouth closed and have it open while asleep, so too I might fall asleep with my mouth open and close it while sleeping, all unbeknownst. I have no control either way. That's what I have been trying to tell several on this forum. They claim to have "trained" their mo...

I sent you a PM, Ada. Calling in reinforcements.

please read Tip #8 in this article from the Mayo Clinic There is nothing in there that says no air passes between open lips during the process of breathing. Citing Wikipedia as a credible source on any subject is pretty laughable. That is an archaic comment. Who told you that? Your tenth grade hist...
