Wish you luck.

If your doctor interview does not seem to go well from your point of view, don't hesitate to tell the doctor that, due to the brief time you were asleep (and whatever other supporting reasons you have), you don't feel it was a valid test and you would like either a retest or an at-home trial with an Autopap -- being as nice about it as you possibly can be, of course! It can be such a pain. But hopefully you are on your way to resolutions.

If the doctor is going to prescribe CPAP, try to get the auto instead; the data you can download yourself is so helpful! However, many doctors like to tell you that patients don't sleep as well with the changing pressure of the auto, which does not seem to be the experience of those of us posting on this board.

Again, good luck.
