Hi. I did a home sleep study privately which showed I have moderate sleep apnoea. That wasn’t really a surprise as I snore terribly and my partner tells me that I stop breathing. According to the…Continue

"i'm rather late to the conversation, but i was in almost the same situation. I did manage to get an nhs sleep study, but my numbers were under their threshold. Hardly surprising as i didn't actually sleep during the night.  So I got a…"

"So I’ve been turned down again. I asked about a different Trust and was told that they would turn me down too as I’m not tired during the day. He’s right, I’m not tired during the day however I don’t fancy the…"

"If no other hospital, I am sure the Philips service is CQC and NHS registered. Your GP could refer if the local CCG approves funding. Hope you get sorted."

"I had a private assessment so I already know that I have a moderate AHI. I don’t need another assessment but I think the hospital will probably want me to. Ideally I’d just join a list for cpap as recommended on my report but I…"

"Hi, I had the same problem in that I was not a priority to be screened because my Epworth Score was low but was an epic snorer! I waited 26 months before seeing a specialist. You have an option to be preferred to another “provider” or…"

"Hi, Thank you for your reply. That is so frustrating. My partner would certainly disagree that I’m asymptomatic! I will wait and hear what my gp says once he has heard back from them again.  Many thanks"

"Hi Natalie This frustration is more common than you think as there are still some clinics that accept referrals based on the Epworth Sleepiness Score.  The current NICE guidelines (due to be updated this August) state that patients with…"

Been declined Nhs treatment

Hi. I did a home sleep study privately which showed I have moderate sleep apnoea. That wasn’t really a surprise as I snore terribly and my partner tells me that I stop breathing. According to the results I stop breathing 21 times an hour. For background, my dad has sleep apnoea and a range of cardiac and blood pressure problems that he has been told are likely related. I don’t have any other issues and I am not tired during the day. My gp referred me but has rang today to say the referral is…See More

"Hi It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic.  There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine.  There's an interesting video here…"

Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind

HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More

"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."

1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test

Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More

Jonathan replied to John's discussion Has anyone been told root cause of their OSA?
"Nope, I just accept that some people's throats tend to close when they sleep, due to a loss of muscle tone during deeper sleep.  Back when I was diagnosed, the sleep lab just filmed you whilst you slept, stuck an O2 meter on your finger,…"

ResMed AirSense 10 getting noisy

HelloI have an NHS issued ResMed AirSense 10 with heated humidifier.  In the last couple of weeks, it's developed an annoying noise, when I inhale. It bothers me a little and my partner a lot! I sometimes get problems if the water container in the…See More
