I saw the doc today and he said I have severe sleep apnea. The tech the night of my test said that I did well. What the heck was the tech a nut job? The doc said that on my side I stopped or slowed my breathing 27 times in an hour and on my back it was 49 times an hour. So now my new machine is on it's way:(
That is what I had the first night. I had to go back and do the test with the cpap mask and they adjusted the pressure during the night to find the correct level for my at home machine. I loved my cpap. I slept much better with it and it actually retrained me to sleep properly. My stepfather died at the age of 44 from sleep apnea...it is a good thing to have it diagnosed and treated.

I am excited for you to get the machine!!! Nothing prepares you for how good you will feel after you get caught up on the sleep you have been missing, I have had my machine a year, and would trade my husband before trading my cpap. Stick with it, you will be very happy with the outcome!
Hi,
If it makes you feel better, I had my sleep study about a month ago and it was worse. I slept a total of 110 mintues and I stopped breathing 59 times in 60 minutes. I have my machine and I feel so much better. I'm not up every hour at night and I feel more wide awake when I get up. I haven't had any problem getting used to it. I have learned that I am not a long sleeper. I only sleep 5-6 hours a night. I hope that you have good luck with your machine and that it helps you.
