Need advice

[jim70769]

Hello
I just got the results on my latest sleep study and welcome any suggestions or advice. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea back in 2002. I have had the uppp surgery. This was my fourth study (3 without cpap and 3 with titration)since 2002. I have a bi pap and a cflex. Just got a new cfex .I have good insurance. (I thought)I wanted to get the A flex machine but sleep center said my insurance wont pay for it.
Test 4 was after surgery.
Here are some numbers from previous tests. Odd numbers are without cpap, Even numbers = titration

Can anyone make sense of all these numbers. I feel like !@#! every day. I work 12 hr (5-5) rotating shift work
