My study was done 15+ years ago
And I just received a box via Fed Ex that has a home sleep study in it that my doctor ordered. I called for a prescription for a new mask and stuff and since he was not the one that originally dx'd me he went through my records. He said I should have a sleep test every 5 years. So that's why I have the home study to do.
He did warn me that if the results are too bad I will have to go in over night for the real deal.
My original test results: severely moderate....lol....asked the dr to explain that one and he said I was at the very top of moderate without going over into the severe. I woke up 100's of times an hour but thank goodness never had oxygen problems. I also stopped breathing during the night which is why my husband wanted me to go in the first place. He'd been asking me to go for 20 years but I didn't until he got in my face one day and said "You stop breathing....do you understand....you stop breathing!". So I got 'it' that time and went.
I honestly have never been able to tell if it helps me or not as far as restfulness goes. But I do know that every time I quit breathing it is damaging my organs so I do sleep with it every night. The only time I can't use it is if I have some type of infection like a sinus infection. If I can't breathe through my nose it's a no go.
Just wanted to add my story in case it helps anyone else who has any questions.
