Well I got some preliminary results. I guess they do things differently than when my Mom had hers. They told me that I did have some sleep apnea during the exam. I guess what they do is have a scale and according to how many episodes of apnea you have they schedule you for a CPAP sleep study, get those reults and send all of it to the doctor who analyzes the test.

They said I had three times more episodes of apnea during deep sleep than I had during regular sleep. So I go in for a CPAP sleep study next Wednesday night. They show me all the differnet masks, help me choose which is the most comfortable, wear it for a couple of hours so I am used to it and then put me to bed. While I am asleep they take measurments and adjust the pressure while am sleeping.
