Topic: RE: DO I HAVE SLEEP APNEA

You need to have a physician write an order for a sleep study. Do you have a PCP?

Topic: DO I HAVE SLEEP APNEA

I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING WLS. WHILE I WAS READING UP ON IT I KEPT HEARING ABOUT PEOPLE WITH SLEEP APNEA. SO I READ UP ON IT. I HAVE JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE SYMPTONS. WHO DO I CALL TO BE DIAGNOSED.

Topic: RE: apnea better after weightloss

Mine is definitely better, but I'm still using the CPAP and haven't had an official sleep study yet. My doctor told me to wait until I have lost almost all my weight. But, I am definitely doing better because sometimes I sleep without the CPAP and I DON"T wake up with a headache. Donna

Topic: RE: Mouth Breathing

Same problems for me. Chin strap didn't work. I'm being sent a full face mask and hope that will help. I'll let you all know how it goes after I get it. Even if I am mouth breathing, my sleep apnea has really improved: no headaches, no sleepiness or tiredness. Donna

Topic: RE: LUUUKE, I am your....

Replying to this old thread - I told my wife that she would be sleeping next to "Darth Charlie" - she laughed. Heck, my wife is about a geeky as I am (and I'm a mondo geek) Actually, the more I see of the masks, Luke in the Bacta tank http://www.maarasuniverse.com/luke2/lukeinbacta1.jpeg

Topic: Mouth Breathing

I posted this over at the men's forum but thought it might be smart to try here as well. I've been on my cpap (moderate sleep apnea) for two weeks now. I've seen some overall benefit but worry about what I see described as mouth breathing is impacting that issue. I wake up with a desert, dry mouth 2-3 times per night. It doesn't seem as if my mouth is actually flopping open, it just appears that my lips open up and the air leaks out that way. A chin strap is suggested for the problem but I don't believe it would help based on what I just described. What's worse is that my pressure isn't even that high (10cm). Any suggestions from you "experienced" cpap users?? solman

Topic: RE: Just got my results

Good luck, Charlie. Stick with it. Don't give up. It's really been great for me. No headaches in the morning. No sleepiness during the day -- especially no falling asleep at the wheel. Donna

Topic: Just got my results

The sleep study center just called me with the results of my first study - severe sleep apnea - 54/hour. Looks like I'm heading for a machine
