re sleepy gal's comment : is it possible cpap can make one's sleep condition worse ? i've been titrated at 7 (original was just a guess), then up to 14 with a full face mask, then back to 6 with nasal mask, now back to 10...should i be confident that the overnight labs have all the answers ?
i had 4 overnight tests...test # 1 and 3 with no cpap, # 2,4,5 with...test # 3 had the lowest apnea events, 29 per hr...shouldn't it always be worse with no cpap if one has apnea?
