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.

from the info i understand, it will not kill, it just causes the brain to awake to control the muscle open back the airway.
but prolong of this lead to low O2 in the body,

my sleep study shows the lowest point of O2 in my blood is 72% at 1 point.

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.

ENT, respiratory physician, Neurologist depend who has the expertise. Conducting the test is not expensive and you can always bring the results to the specialist either in government or private.

currently using Resmed P30i nasal pillow mask and Philips DreamWisp on nasal mask.

Philips DreamWisp on nasal mask = i get <1 AHI average per night
Resmed P30i nasal pillow mask = i get 2 to 8 AHI average per night

i still testing on the mask.

yes, could lead to heart attack.
using the mask when sleep, i can totally sleep and awake in when morning without night wake or dream also.
very quality sleep.

I'm sorry. I misunderstood your statement, i thought u asking me to google instead of asking questions to TS. Haha. Ya i checked out the STOP BANG. Really helpful. Thanks man

yes, even buying the mask and CPAP machine, need to have the official prescription from the doctor.
without that, u not able to buy it officially.

sunway medical centre has a sleep clinic.

i think rm3k+ and up. go sleep there for a night and they'll take your stats for the day.

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. was that related to sleep apnea?

brain damage sets in after the 4th day, mang.

apa cerita?

sleep apnea is waking up at night because your air passage collapsed and you can hardly breathe.

shallow sleep and you kept waking up multiple times at night.

i using medical insurance, direct to ENT (skip GP) as advised by the insurance agent.
as the first thing, the check is the Nasal scope which considers day surgery. <-- can claim insurance directly cause day surgery

me, not ENT, so can't comment on this.
but sleep apnea is unable to have good quality sleep, still can sleep but tired during the day.

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

most probably anxiety from job stress.

i was tired and sleepy but the moment i lay on my bed i didn't feel sleepy anymore, i watched tv until morning and went to work like normal.

that was weird, and i wish that would never happen again.

can share how this partial sleep study work? interesting to know.


lifestyle change can only help with mild sleep apnea.

cause sleep apnea occurs not cause by lifestyle but tongue and/or tonsil muscle relaxation during the sleeping time or other problems.

but a healthy life style sure 100% beneficial to personal health including reducing the severity of the sleep apnea problem.

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.

already share,
me 173cm and 95KG = obese

this is the home sleep study test
