Breathing…part Deux

So as a quick follow up to my last post, I did the follow up sleep study last night (20110428), this part involved sleeping with a remotely controlled CPAP machine. The basic premise is that they keep upping the pressure on the CPAP till the snoring and apnea events go away. Once they found the correct pressure for me, they told me I slept well, not that I remember as I was, sound asleep…It’s amazing how long it’s been since I have had a comfortable and full nights sleep, I didn’t know what I had been missing. Couple of things I found out; I asked about the frequency of my apnea events (~133/hr), and asked what classified severe (caveat being it may vary from sleep center to sleep center or what the dr’s agree on) but my nurse said that anything over 50 is considered urgent, since I almost tripled that, I guess that’s pretty severe. Something else I figured out is that everything to do with the CPAP machine from setting the pressure to getting a mask is prescription which for a simple mind like mine is hard to wrap my mind around as *prescriptions* are for *drugs* not machines. Any whoozles, things are getting taken care of, and I should be getting fully restful, and regenerative sleep when I get the machine dialed in correctly. Oh and one side affect of the sleep, I have more energy than I know what to do with right now…
