Hello everyone. I completed my first sleep study on Friday the 20th of May 2018. I was told it could take up to 8 weeks to get my results. The following Tuesday I received a phone call stating my test has been read and they want to see me ASAP. Well, that of course made me very nervous!! Apparently the tech stream lined my test to the MD because it was so bad. My Nurse Practitioner was surprised to see me so fast until she read my results. My AHI was 149..........blew my mind! I have been extremely extremely exhausted for about 7 years now. Doctors saying it’s depression, it’s my diet, it’s this it’s that, but nobody ever had the idea to check how I was sleeping. My exhaustion has affected every aspect of my life and I’m frustrated it took so long for them to figure it out!!! My O2 sat goes down to 74% to boot!! I am optimistic that cpap will help me! I am anxiously waiting for the call from the medical supply company to get my machine!!!!! My pressure will be set 13-20. I tested with the new dream wear full mask and did really well with it, so I’m getting that. My Nurse Practitioner is a hoot, she said, want a girly machine? I thought she was kidding. Nope! I’m getting a white machine with flowers on it! We are going to see how I do for a couple of weeks then do an overnight test if my oxygen levels to see if cpap fixes my hypoxia. Any suggestions for this newbie would be great!
