First sleep study this week. What should I expect?

[SoonerP226]

Thank you to everybody. I googled Reggie White's death. It hit close to home. He was 43 and so am I. I had been putting the test off for a year or so, but now I'm looking forward to it.

That happened right about the time I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. The first night I had the machine I had real bad allergies (thanks for nothing, you no good cedars), so I was congested and my nose was running and I just couldn’t tolerate the CPAP. Naturally, all I could think of was Reggie White’s death. It’s amazing what your mind will fixate on when you’re sleep deprived.

That was not a stress-free restful night...

Actually, it is UP TO 50% and that is changing. It is being reevaluated as we discuss this.

I built one with a small 12v fan blowing into a 2" pvc reduced to 1/2" and plugged at the end drilled a hole in the plug for the nose hose to attach for use at deer camp. Worked as good as the $2000 one my insurance paid for

I hate my cpap.

I have heard good things about this!

If you use a CPAP it’s always 50%. Yes it’s being re-evaluated but that’s all the more to look into it now. I doubt they change it though.

I'm having an evaluation done on this next month, but expect that I won't be able to use it. I have a spinal stimulator that it probably will interfere with.

I have had my CPAP for about five years. I was having surgery and afterward the anesthesiologist asked my wife if I had sleep apnea because I certainly indicated it during the surgery. So, a couple of weeks later I had the study at Integris, and shortly afterward received my machine. I am very happy with the results.

I don’t even know what to say
