Sleep Apnea 3: Sleep Lab (Part 2)
Posted on 02. Jan, 2010 by admin in Sleep Abnea Video
Vlad explains the theory behind the CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). I try on the mask and then to bed to try to sleep.

Vlad was great. He made the whole process much more enjoyable. Maybe not enjoyable, but bearable.

I am sleeping well and not falling asleep at all at unwanted times. The cpap machine is a life changer, and perhaps a life saver. Thanks for your interest.

That worries me, but I’m sure it isn’t anything compared to what you might be feeling. I hope that this all comes to some sort of a good conclusion; take care of yourself, Phil.

I didn’t know there’d be a part 2. Good on you for sharing. I don’t know how you do it. I made ONE Vlog and my mind was RACING afterward. Couldn’t sleep. I’m sure you’re used to it by now.
I wonder if Vlad watched this yet? He seems so natural but I’m sure he can’t resist going online and watching. Not everyday someone comes in for treatment/testing with a camera. U rock.

I will go into detail about my report in the next video, but in the diagnostic period (before the mask) I only slept 43 minutes, but had 88 obstructive apneas, which extrapolates to over 120 per hour, which is extreme. I am amazed I am still alive. They averaged over 16 seconds each, so I was breathing less than half the time I was asleep.

Don’t forget to do all your kissing and “everything else” before putting on the mask because once the mask goes on, it’s for sleeping!
