which cpap machine TS is getting and how much does it cost?

Drop till 75kg
Even if it still persist, trust me your health will be much better and as u say 62 vs 32.

im just answering question on how usually they going to diagnose u with sleep apnea since i do work with the ent and respi dr in regards to sleep study and cpap.. im sorry if u think its "googled answer" thus may be wrong. im saying google the stop bang questionaire since usually dr would also ask the same type of question from that questionaire before referring for a sleep study test.

you stop breathing for a few seconds in your sleep, that's very dangerous

may i know what mask are u using ?

is it the nasal pillow or full face mask?

must cpap. jangan tak cpap.

my father had sleep apnea, woke up 4-5 times every night swearing.

not treated in anyway and i was a dumb ass for not knowing.

passed away from heart attack after his regular morning walk.

interrupted sleep is serious business. take care of yourself, ts.

yup this is another test that u can try other than the stop bang test... again both questionaire is just to see if u have high risk or not for sleep apnea.
sleep study is the only way to conclusively confirm u have sleep apnea or not.

You direct go to ENT or go to GP first? Got company insurance cover?

i was once experienced not being able to sleep for straight 5 days. Is that related to sleep apnea?

most people dont require a full sleep study though. partial sleep study usually enough to diagnose sleep apnea and the partial sleep study cost at most also few hundred ringgit compared to full sleep study

Try to go with lifestyle approach before any med intervention if possible

TS, not making you feel worse but can i ask are you obese or close to obese? Can share bmi?

Actually really think your experience can help many ppl.

this is the home sleep study test

I'm using BMC G2 luna,  for my severe snoring and sleep apnea.

I had sleep apnea for the past 3 months during MCO 1.0, i installed an app on my phone and monitor my snore sound during night.

God damn the noise is super loud scary. I had to sleep separately with my wife because of this.

Maybe you can try by getting a wedge pillow and also lose your weight.

I was 82kg and same height with you. I'm now 76kg and no longer have sleep apnea.

Back pains also is one of the root cause of sleep apnea.

Please take action asap. Its really a serious medical condition.

Around 1.5k including a nasal mask. Yep quite satisfied. Hv been using it every night since middle of March. Starting time not that used to it, will take it off middle of the night. After 1-2  weeks I'm ok with it already.

there are private at home sleep study also, much cheaper also,  but you need to bring the results to a ENT or respiratory physician ti interpret.

Expensive machine u have there.

Sleep apnea happen less to asia people. Or they just dont give af cause the machine is costly.

Hey all, so this issue is only with Phillips machine only or all others as well? I am using an old Phillips Remstar unit, can confirm these foam do come out. Happened to me last time, Some got stuck in my humidifier container, and I’m sure some in my lungs also la 😓. Had to change it in a service Center.

Am thinking of getting another brand le if all Phillips models are having same issue.

lastime i have an obese friend having sleep apnea.

he sit there 5 minutes in meeting room then suddenly fall asleep and snoring.

every body in the meeting room looking at him.

then kena bos tiao kao kao.

he literally cannot lie down and sleep like a normal person.

he got to sleep in sitting mode.

very difficult times.

then unclear oral speech.

hardly can heard what he is trying to say clearly.

Around rm 300. You can ask your local ENT or KK.

No. This is common misconception.

Partially correct but it's not really as simple as the way you worded it

If it's not caused by the fat accumulation, hardly can be solved by losing weight

There are people with perfect bmi suffered with sleep apnea.. And as side effects, their weight gets increased
