Not to point out the obvious but Bros. should be very familiar with OSA. Is he the one who referred you to a sleep specialist?

No, he is just getting involved. He lives half the country away from me.

Yes, you are correct but for me it is the first time experiencing anything like this and was unsure of what was going on. Doctor did not really help in that reguard,,,basically siad go and pick it up at this place. So I did. I will take advice about approaching insurance co and see if I can bring this unit back or at least swap it for the machine I want.

I was making a general statement for anybody that might happen to read this. The part I bolded (above) is what happens to just about EVERYBODY that doesn't go to the Internet and start looking up subjects that are apnea and CPAP related before they go to their sleep studies. You are the "typical" patient that the industry takes advantage BEFORE they wake up to what just happened. Fortunately you, like many others, have found your way to the forum for help......and before it's too late.
