Why is a machine being ordered if you don't have apnea? What else have you been tested for? Sorry if I wasn’t clear Julie. I had no events while I had the CPAP on. They actually didn’t even have me sleep without CPAP that night. I had been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea through a home test. What d...

LiquidFry, you may be having some anxiety symptoms. The thought of having that alien thing stuck on your face every night can be frightening. The best advice I can give you at this point is just relax, read the posts at the top of the first page and learn as much as you can before you get your mach...

I just want to say thanks to all that have replied. I am lacking the mental stamina to respond to everyone, because I’m so damn tired. I had a sleep study 10 days ago. They put me on a Cpap right away. First we tried nasal pillows, but I couldn’t cope. It was quite hard for me to think of anything e...

This board is awesome, and I hope to find some help or guidance with my own situation. I’m dragging all day until 10pm when I start feeling alive. Because of that, I don’t even bother going to sleep until 1:30, then having to wake up at 8. Thanks for any help!! A lot of this appears to me to be sle...

Just upping your pressure a bit, even if you have low events can help with oxygen as well. especially if you have a lot of hyponea's, the higher pressure will give you more air in your lungs.

Thank you,

I don’t have a machine yet. My thorough sleep study is April 2nd.

Hi Liquidfry, Did you feel as bad when you were 175lbs? From your original post: "My AHI was 6.4, and oxygen levels dipped as low as 84% and stayed around 89%. I know my numbers are mild, but I feel TERRIBLE." It sounds like your oxygen level doesn't get above 90%. If that is the case, you have you...

Thank you Julie... I have been to ENTs, otorolagysts, optometrists. I have done all kinds of blood tests, plus a brain MRI. I have continued monitoring my blood pressure and it always comes up normal. I take ... and magnesium every night before bed. Why magnesium? I never, ever, take supplements of...

Thank you Julie... I have been to ENTs, otorolagysts, optometrists. I have done all kinds of blood tests, plus a brain MRI. I have continued monitoring my blood pressure and it always comes up normal. I take Vit D, fish oil, and magnesium every night before bed. Blood sugar is fine and I even bought...

This board is awesome, and I hope to find some help or guidance with my own situation. I am male, 34, 5’9”, 210lbs. I used to be much more fit (but even at my lightest - 175lbs, I would wake up gasping for breath. At my last doctor appointment, I was really struggling. I told her I was so tired all ...
