Sleep apnea & CPAP?
I did a sleep study last night, turns out I have severe sleep apnea, where I stop breathing upwards of 40 times an hour and my blood oxygen dips into the 60s in deep sleep.

I have to go back to the clinic probably next week for a study with the CPAP, and just looking for any first person experiences.

I would imagine most people that go to a sleep study have something wrong. If everything was all roses, why would they go do a study?

See post #28. Why would you get a sleep apnea test unless there have been problems? Most of the time for years.

I don't want to point out the obvious because it isn't always true, but many people who are diagnosed with sleep apnea are overweight. We asked my FIL to get a sleep study because he does the loudest snoring things and wakes himself up violently. He went on to lose about 30 lbs and it's much better now.

I am significantly overweight, and I'm trying to lose weight. Unfortunately, there are some health issues that make losing weight more difficult for me than others.

I lost 175lbs & still have sleep apnea. I lowered my number but still have it...Dr says it's a mental thing with me. I breathe fine on my side but I always end up on my back & I stop breathing then. I couldn't sleep without the CPAP.

I'll chime in here...
I had my first sleep study done circa 2003 - I was told that everyone has sleep apena - everyone stops breathing a few times at night while they sleep - but the study is to determine if you need outside interference to keep your O2 level in the safe range.

In 2003 I was told I didn't need a cpap but if I didn't start loosing weight then I would need one..

FF to 2009/2010(I can't remember) - Had sleep study...TA DA - needed Cpap... Not exciting.

I used it for a while at first but I kept taking it off at night - then it would hurt my nose. Stopped for 6 mo - tried to use it again when fresh supplies arrived - did for about 3-4 mo then started taking it off at night...

I haven't even messed with it in over a year... I haven't tired to use it for almost 2.

I snore a lot - I'm over weight - I'm trying to lose weight too - could do a better job.

I wish I was a success story like most of you but I just can't seem to sleep with that thing on

I'm getting a sleep study done sometime this week. I snored so hard that my throat/nasal passage feels swollen. I am about 6'0, 220...bulky, but most definitely have some extra cushioning I'd like to lose.

I feel like I have an obstruction in my sinuses or something. Even when I am awake and breathe through my nose in a certain position, I become more snorty than I assume the average person becomes.

I've heard that once a person is treated for sleep apnea, they usually lose 10+ pounds in the first couple weeks because they feel more energized.

Went in last weekend for the CPAP fitting. I haven't decided whether or not to fill to prescription... I guess I should, but I already have some medical equipment in my bedroom, and I'm really resisting adding more.
