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.

Yeah. He is the father of three young kids, so it was really transformative for his entire family. They now have an active dad who can actually go on hikes and bike rides with them. He started tearing up when he told me how much getting a solution to his problems helped them.

But it seems like it is one of those things now that pretty much EVERYONE seems to have. Anyone who snores, or wakes up in the middle of the night, or is tired during the day, is told they might have it. And I don't know anyone who has done a sleep study who has been told they don't have it. Makes me wonder if it is being overhyped a little.
This is how I feel. Sleep apnea is the new high cholesterol. Doc are prescribing CPAP machines like they were Lipitor. Sure it can kill you but so can a lot of other things.

I never could get used to the CPAP and wasn't able to sleep at all while using it.

I got a SomnoDent appliance and haven't had a problem since.

Not a hijack but should I get a sleep study done if I yell in my sleep or move too much? Apparently a couple of weeks ago, I punched my wife in the back while I was sleeping.

They've come so far that now they have little chips in them you have to send back every month so that if you're not using it enough insurance won't pay for it, which is nice.

What? Really?

My wife tells me to stop dry humping her sometimes so don't feel too bad.

My wife has punched me in her sleep more than once. One time, square in the jaw.

I would get a journal for you and your wife to fill out with logs stating specific symptoms, at what time, when you go to sleep, pertinent factors. What you described could be an isolated idiopathic event, or it could be something else.

The key to an accurate diagnosis is a good history.
I would also recommend following good sleep practices.

Could be restless legs syndrome. Google it.

I see the sleep apnea mortality relationship used frequently, yet I've never heard of one single death related to sleep apnea. Not saying it can't happen...

No one ever dies in their sleep from apnea. When you are asleep and you quit breathing your body will automatically wake you up. Assuming there are not drugs suppressing the autonomic response.

It's cumulative. Stopping breathing 20+ times a night even for a second increase the chance of heart disease, atrial fibrillation, CHF and more. Thats what will kill you.

But the best reason to get checked out is what has already been mentioned in this thread. Improvement in the quality of life by getting into reem 3 sleep faster and staying there longer.

If this is central apnea and not obstructive apnea all bets are off. You are a walking dead man unless you get help.

One thing I've noticed since going on CPAP earlier this year is my shoulders hurt. I think I get into a much deeper sleep and it's affecting in how I'm sleeping on them. I sleep on my sides.
