Resmed s9 or airsense 10 autoset is the best for most people. Without more data, ya can't know more. True true, if this was something say like UARS, would the autoset be good as well? Not sure if there's a model of PAP that specifically UARS patients use or have good luck with. Thanks for all the h...

Finally had the follow up with the neurologist who referred me to the lab study. He didn't seem to know much besides how the home study I took conflicted with the lab study in which I had much greater reduced efficiency and reduced rem sleep and other things like that. He essentially said this is ou...

I have to agree with Julie on this one: my results weren’t what I expected, nor my doctor (regular one) but it does factor in. In my case, I don’t qualify as having OSA because AHI is so low, but RDI with the other symptoms qualified for coverage: still not 100% certain this machine can get me to s...

I believe you guys and have hope in what you say. I'll wait, I'm just worried he'll brush off the results of the sleep test and move on to making me take more and more tests for stuff when a solution could possibly be found on the spot there. Idk if he'll even care that I had half the regular REM sl...

I think I want to attempt to treat myself. With varying results from different tests and such long waits from doctors who don't seem to take this stuff seriously, I just want to try and see if by chance, CPAP can help. I can share any information needed for you guys to help me find where, how, and w...

Per your request to review your post. I assume you meant this one. First of all I can't read the image of your sleep study....to dark and sideways and I am not sure it would help much anyway. Second of all...read this for help in understanding what all the various terms and numbers mean. RobySue ex...

Some medications can cause insomnia and/or can affect the sleep architecture and even prevent a person from getting much REM stage sleep. It is possible that the lack of REM was nothing more than not enough sleep to move through the needed sleep stages because you ran out of time. I had something s...

I usually feel horrible in the mornings, somewhat better in the afternoon, but after taking a nap I feel like I just woke back up to the groggy horrible morning. Is this the same kind of experience you had? I'm just curious as I'm new to all of this Before CPAP, yes. Mornings were a disaster. As th...

For me, I'm 17 days in and still struggling with the mask a bit. I apparently mouth breath at least enough to turn my mouth into clumpy paste. I still wake up at least 3-4 times a night either due to dry mouth or a leak. However, my energy level has increased, when I wake up... I *feel* awake and n...

Ask your doctor(s) about UARS, ask what your RDI is.

Got it, I'll bring it up

Welcome to the group. I would make a list of questions to take with you to the followup. You were told no apnea, but it really sounds like inconclusive results. You didn't sleep very long, and you didn't spend much time in REM. A lot of people are worse in REM and/on their back. So, the test really...

By law you have a right to your report (the full one, not just the summary) so get it from your doc (not the tech) and give us a chance to see what's what (and possibly interpret it more meaningfully than you can (yet). Stay in this thread plse. You do sound like you had relevant symptoms, but we n...

Why were you tested initially? What symptoms do/did you have? Were you checked for other possible health problems (possibly even depression) with labs, etc. or not? Brain Fog, Memory issues, Constant headaches especially when I first wake up, always being tired, dry mouth and sore throat often, jus...

I just wanted to ask if any of you can help me understand fully my results. I took a home test which I sleeped much more for which showed 3.5 AHI of apneas but only later into the night for some reason. I'm a teen so anything over 1 is seen as abnormal, so I was referred to an in lab study in which ...
