I think I am going to try the O2 Vibe. One of the warehouse retailers has them on sale for $145 with a very generous return policy if it does not work for me. It will be more comfortable but with less data. I know it will not show apnea events but at least I can get a ballpark of when my 02 is going...

Thanks for the reply! I do like the smaller o2 sensor on the 02 vibe, but I am afraid that not seeing the data on a computer would be a huge disadvantage. I do agree with you, the worst part of the sleep study was the finger gripping sensor it made me sweat like crazy and was way too tight. I am jus...

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a wearable and affordable oximeter. I was recently diagnosed with mild SA and want to see if I can do things to get my o2 level back to an acceptable rate without a cpap. I saw that some of them could be hooked up to sleepy head software but another one i sa...

Thanks! I may even get a pregnancy pillow to make me lie on my side. I do have a adjustable bed and usually have it about 6-8" elevated but sleeping on my side makes it rather difficult if it is up too high. I may start to take the nexium as a previous poster advised. My main problem is my throat, t...

Hi Julie! You and everyone her have been such a big help! I did go back to my ent doctor today, (thats how I got the results so fast) and he reffered me to a gi doc for a scope of my stomach and throat. It is just frusterating that I go in with cest pain under my right rib and around my heard and sh...

Ok, I just got the numbers in! They said they mispoke and apologized when they first contacted me on the phone and I have mild SA not Moderate SA (relief)! The nurse said that even if it is mild they want everyone to get on a CPAP before it gets worse (and they said it will). A little background I p...

Thanks for letting me know how it works. I honestly do not think it was a very good study as I was up for so long and only went to sleep for 3-4 hours. Now the sleep apnea is the first thing that goes on my medical record. I think the doctors are going to dismiss my recent (3 months ago) symptoms of...

Will the cpap they give me to bring home for the 4 days log all the events of me not breathing like the sleep study or will it not log as many because there is pressure going in all the time. I am just curious after being diagnosed, if I have no symptoms when hooked up to the machine, if they will s...

Thanks Julie for the encouragement, I was first nervous about the SA now I have to think about cancer.... I'm going to make an appt with the ent, last time it was just a phone visit and he said it sounded like classic gerd but 20 mg of prilosec twice a day has not made a difference at all after 2 we...

Hi, thanks for the support! what exactly does the 4 day take home cpap do? Willl that show if I have any events or not or does that just adjust the air flow for me? you really dont get a doctor in this its just group settings for all the stuff they give you. Is 8.4 really that moderate? According to...

Hi, A little background, I have for the past few month been having trouble with my back of my throat when I lie down. When I am awake and lying down I feel like my throat is closing and I cant swallow, it is also feels very scratchy with every breath I take. The only thing that lets me swallow is by...
