Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

I felt similarly when I had my study. I got there at 9:30 pm ish, got all hooked up to the machines, didn't fall asleep till at least midnight. They woke me at 5 am to go home. I hardly ever sleep...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

I tried the nose pillows at first. Hated them. When my mouth would fall open, I'd feel a gurgling, choking sensation. My full-face mask is much better.

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Actually that number is usually given per HOUR, not per night. My RDI (Respiratory Disturbances Index) was 10.2, which means that I was stopping breathing about 10x per hour, or every six minutes. If...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Give it time, hotreds. Took me about 3 MONTHS to make it through a night without yanking the mask off. Now, I love my CPAP machine.

One of the big issues I had at first was waking up with a dry...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

UPDATE: I've had my CPAP machine since August. I'm pretty much used to it by now. I can sleep all night with it. My wife loves that I no longer sound like someone sawing logs from my snoring. She...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

So, it's been about 2 months since I was given the machine, and I've been able to sleep the whole night with the mask on for 4 or 5 nights in a row now. But I always get only 7-8 hours of sleep. My...

Kelmac, at the sleep study center, I used a mask called the Quattro. Image here (http://www.cpapmaskstore.com/images/ResMed-Mirage-Quattro-Full-Face-CPAP-Mask-Profile.jpg). I fell asleep ok, but by...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Night #2, still can't get used to it. Had to take the mask off to fall asleep. If I hit a week without it working, I'm switching masks.

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

It is made by Respironics. Series M, I believe. It is not a Bipap machine. My pressure is set at 14 as well. My machine has a "ramp" button that I am supposed to use when I first put it on. It drops...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Last night did not go well. Took the mask off after a few hours of fighting it. Might try to get the Quattro full face mask. That's the one I used during my sleep study at the clinic.

It's very...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

An hour later, can't fall asleep. Back spasms. Dunno if one has anything to do with the other, though.

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Got my CPAP today. All of the functions of the machine were explained to me. I got the nasal pillows mask. Tonight will be my first night sleeping with it. We'll see how it goes!

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

I had my follow up with the ENT and they told me I would be getting a CPAP machine. I need to call, as I have not heard from the CPAP people yet.

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Actually, I lost my teaching job and am currently on Cobra. I'm trying to get as much medical stuff done as possible while I can afford it, since I've already met my deductible. I've had 4 surgeries...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Saw the doc today. I have mild/moderate apnea. My RDI was 10.3. My lowest O2 saturation was 86%, which was the number that disturbed him. I should have my CPAP machine in less than 2 weeks.

On a...

Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

My name is Christian and I have sleep apnea.

I went to a well-regarded ENT and told him about my sleep difficulties. My wife often noted that I choke or gasp in my sleep. The ENT ordered a 2-part...
