Kath Hope replied to SleepyGuy's discussion Symptoms: Feeling tired with missing air."Good luck with your appointment SleepyGuy. There are occasions when some people are better an auto pressures, but bearing in mind your AHI is below 5 and you're getting a good 7-8 hours of sleep on CPAP, it may be worth you asking your GP…"
SleepyGuy replied to SleepyGuy's discussion Symptoms: Feeling tired with missing air."I have started the cpap therapy in jan and the symptoms was back in march. I do sleep between 7 to 8 h every nights. So I got it for the body to get used to the air flow. However that's still a huge difference that I have from the first 3…"
Iwan Davies replied to Iwan Davies's discussion Sleeping with CPAP on the sleeper (train)"Coming back to this some four years later... The power on the trains is unreliable, and the ResMed power supply cuts out when the voltage drops so as to protect itself/the CPAP. Consequently when I tried it out I found my machine cutting out every…"
Zackary Allnutt replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"Update. The doctor I saw was very good and referred me immediately, no questions asked. So if anyone else is in the same boat, get a sleep screener.
In fact any one reading this who has any suspicion of sleep apnea or suffers from fatigue even when…"
Kath Hope replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"I agree Zackary, and it would be good for GP's to have them then they would know who needs referring to a sleep clinic."
Zackary Allnutt replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"It seems to me it would be much cheaper for heath centres to have a home screener - in the long run..."
Milen Tenev replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"I hope that you are OK but still better to check it in advance as sleep apnoea is very nasty, the symptoms could be hard to discover and even after discovering them it could be hard to relate. To tell you the truth I think that NHS must include…"
Zackary Allnutt replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"I appreciate the word of warning - I will definitely make sure I get a sleep study soon. Really, I should have pushed harder for a sleep study a long time ago. It's not so easy to do when you don't feel up to battling the doctor or even…"
Milen Tenev replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"Zackary, my sleep apnoea is caused by side effect of sinus surgery - my soft tissue in the throat got more swollen after the surgery. I lived for a year without realizing this because I didn't experience any sleep desire during the day. Even…"
Zackary Allnutt replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"I saw on a thread, I think on here, the recommendation to score in terms of how much you want to sleep rather then your likelihood of actually doing it."
Zackary Allnutt replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"Hi Milen, I never learnt to drive. Every time I went out to practice I felt like I wasn't alert enough to be safe. Particularly after two mistakes that could have caused a crash if I was unlucky."
Milen Tenev replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"Hi Zackary, you can say to the doctor that you feel sleepy when driving during the day. This will guaranty you the sleep study. I highly doubt that you don't feel some desire for taking a nap while driving if you really have sleep apnoea."
Zackary Allnutt replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"Thank you Kath. Now I'm more confident that I sleep study is warranted, I'm going to push a lot harder. I'll give a update after Monday."
Milen Tenev replied to Milen Tenev's discussion Problems with CPAP machine"Hi Kath, I think that I will be able to add a few things to the webpage with the tips, but lets see, I will create a new discussion rather than using this one."
Kath Hope replied to Milen Tenev's discussion Problems with CPAP machine"That's good to hear Milen, and yes you writing of your experience will hopefully help others. We also have a webpage full of tips for people struggling and believe me I too struggled in the beginning - many years ago when there was…"
Kath Hope replied to Zackary Allnutt's discussion Getting refered"Hi Zachery and welcome (I did send you an email a few minutes ago). I'm sorry to hear you're struggling to get a diagnosis and you shouldn't have to prove that many of us are not overweight yet still have sleep apnoea (I'm not…"

Hi all, I'm new to the forums. I'm trying to get treated for years of suffering. Thus far, no doctor has referred me for a sleep study. Basically because I don't fit the stereotypical apnea sufferer, I'm slim, I'm not older, I don't fall asleep…See More
