Done sleep test about 6 7 years ago then went on CPAP. Life changing. Before was like u, sleep 1 2 hours wake up go toilet, sore throat, drink water, repeat. Everytime lunch or after work drive, totally like dreaming. Don't even know how I got home. Yeah very very dangerous. 1 time microsleep scratch the side of my car, that's my trigger point like i need to fix this shit.
Sleep test that time cost me like rm100-200 only. It's a device roughly size of powerbank, strapped across your chest then some tubes to your nose. Just wear it and sleep 1 whole night, next morning give back the device and they can tell u have sleep apnea or not. I forget the reading was in what unit but basically normal people the number should be less than 5. I think something like less than 5 times breathing interruption or something la. My value is 80+ lmao. Freaking hardcore. Basically my organs don't ever "sleep".
After using CPAP phew, 6 7 years now. I think I woke up middle of the sleep less than 10 times? in 6 years yes. Always 99% is sleep until alarm wake up. Wonderful. Don't even have dreams. Strongly suggest u check it out.

QUOTE(O-haiyo @ Feb 6 2024, 05:19 PM) Is it comfortable wearing the cpap devices? I mean, looks like it limit your movement while sleeping with the device. For sure not used to it at first as u're like wearing a mask, just get used to it after 1 week or so, not that bad ... you have to wear it anyway. Sleep apnea is no joke ... uncomfortable coz suddenly like got air going into your nose ... nothing to do with movements... I was told by ppl that slept with me before saying I move alot last time ... but after CPAP i don't think i move as much coz I'm getting quality sleep now ...

QUOTE(chiacp @ Feb 8 2024, 11:01 AM) I also have been using dreamstation because it is the quietest among the cpap machines. The issue was the foam that was used to dampened the sound. It would react to some ppl using O³ gas as a disinfection method. This causes the foam to release carcinogens. Philip had a worldwide product recall to replace the foam and motor FOC. Go back to your seller to get this. I did mine 2021. Using CPAP, I didnt have any more awakening from apnea. My AHI was borderline 28. But subjectively I felt much better. 2021???? Now 2024 I could have been dead already lol ... my freaking seller tell me they only know this week after i tell him about it ... They offer trade in redmed machine with a fee. ... I'm like what bs? I didn't even ask for compensation still want ask money from me ... any idea this kinda case we can report anything? No money to sue but I think at least we should get a replacement machine???
