If I planned on sleaping I would. All Doctors should be informed that you use XPAP, then if they don't want you to use it, they should tell you. If they told me I'd argue, if you don't use XPAP it's more likely the Holter Monitor will show up more heart problems, low O2 and failure to breath do effect the heart. Jim
Use data to optimize your xPAP treatment!

Yes I agree. My cardialogist even wanted a copy of my sleep study so the sleep lab is sending him one.
