Sleep Study Tonight
Sep 17, 2013 13:34
My sleep study is tonight. While I don't particularly want to hear that I have apnea, if they say I need a CPAP machine and its use improves my life, I'll happily take it.

hope you took one of those pre-study cram courses.
Mine was not so bad... though I did look amusing with all those leads on me, they were not intrusive.
chest shaving, not so much fun.

Sleep apnea kills
The average untreated sleep apnea patient wakes, suddenly over 100 times a night gasping for air. This puts an incredible strain on the heart..
One third of patients with heart failure...have a sleep apnea history
So...it not only improves your life..it can save it. The mask is a small price to pay
