Hi all
First post here - and sorry for jumping right in.
I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea last year. I had approx 39 events every hour. I am overweight and have been for a long time. So I'm super glad this has been picked up.
Now - I was given a CPAP machine by the NHS. It's a Resmed Airsense 10 and a full face mask (I think the F40?).
I would like to start by saying - I have not been sleeping during the day at all since having it. Occasionally I have due to bad sleep - but the vast majority of my days go with me not sleeping when I sit down. So I am very pleased.
However - and this is wh ..read more

Hi there
I'm Chris, 44, 149kg (yes I know....)
I have just been diagnosed with OSA and quite honestly I'm a feeling a little bit in the dark.
I understand what OSA is, how it can affect me and how CPAP helps. What's getting me is how little information I was given.
Please bear with me while a run through the time line.
February 2023 GP visit for a referral to sleep clinic
August 2023 got contacted by sleep clinic and sleep study carried out
March 2024 Finally got an appointment for a telephone call with the sleep consultant.
In that Telephone appointment I was told that I do have OSA but ..read more

Hi, new to this so please be gentle.. I've received my results from a recent sleep study and could do with some help understanding exactly what it all means.
For example, my AHI was 69.6/h increasing to 110.3/h when supine. I spent 35.6% of my sleep in supine position so a 1/3 of my sleep the AHI is at the higher rate, but I don't understand what that actually means.
My apneas were recorded up to 100 seconds. What does this mean?
My ODI is 64?
Anyone who can decipher this please let me know ..read more

Hi. I had my sleep test 8 months ago and finally had my consultation over the phone today. It seems I have mild sleep apnea but my big problem is significant problems with falling asleep driving. The consultant says 'significant problems' but its not a daily occurrence or even a weekly occurrence but it still happens and it's still a big problem so I'm not allowed to drive. I've been marked as urgent for a CPAP machine so 1-2 weeks but what he didn't say was once I have it when can I start driving again? I can't stay at home forever and there was no mention of a follow up appointment ..read more

I've got Sleep Apnea been diagnosed for about half a year now i am 30 and of slightly bigger build but I found myself Googling the Life Expectancy of someone with Sleep Apnea treated and couldn't find anything anywhere except one post saying 8-12 years, now I'm quite worried. Is this true? Or can you live a full life with Sleep Apnea if treated ..read more
