I just picked up my CPAP machine today and my settings are 6. I was reading the Polysomnogram Report and the Diagnosis is as follows: 1. Mild rem-related obstructive sleep apnea 2. Periodic limb movements of sleep 3. Type 1 2nd-degree heart block Naturally, # 3 has me totally freaked out! What does this mean? I have calls into my pcp, my heart doc (still waiting on results from the nuclear stress test)... to see if someone can explain to me what all of this means, because the words "heart block" are scaring me. Would really appreciate any thoughts or insight any of you may be able to provide.

Michelle, that's likely your "prescription" level or whatever it's called, and that is not related to your diagnosis. The range is from 5 being the mildest to 15 being the highest. So, you're down in the low range. I'm also a 6. I think you can relax, but your Doc will know best! Liz
