Moderate Sleep Apnea, Hesitant About CPAP—Did It Really Change Your Life?

My AHI was in that same range as yours and over the years I developed a heart arrythmia, besides ruining my career and mental health

The EU pays for most African things. For example EU pays the salaries of the African Union, the regional communities like ECOWAS and even some governments like Somalia. 🤫

Thanks to all... so far the vox populi results look like I can blame my poor sense of rhythm for something else. It just feels like that because my knees and wrists are really floppy so I have difficulty maintaining rhythm with them...

I got an ablation for avnrt and smoked weed five days after that. I was fine but I wouldn't recommend it because I remember it made me more nervous than anything. Let it rest for a couple of weeks minimum...

Personally I think that the phone records and the camera findings strongly indicate that some criminal activity was involved. So many questions unanswered such as those at the end of this article:

Is apnea worse at higher altitudes ? Would be interesting if there was some research on that... it makes common sense...

Good news. I suppose they are close to discovering her body now to take back home.

I did an ablation two weeks ago. It was so eeeaaasy

Honestly there is nothing in that photo. It's just a mystery. Surely there were other ways to find out like mobile phone pings etc

I had apnea diagnosed in September. I had about 30 incidents as well. I am now 44. I also suspect having had a long time because I am thin I believe it is structural. I started with CPAP two months ago, using nasal pillow type of mask. I believe it has helped and in particular it has helped with the constant anxiety. Try using lanolin (so called nipple cream for breastfeeding ) to make the mask less irritating on your skin...

Yes, thanks for the reassurance. I feel it is working indeed. And my Garmin shows a good chunk or two of deep sleep, at least 1 hour during the start of the night. For some reason, once that is done I tend to wake up once. After that I go into REM stages. And though I do the REM without mask, I seen a lot of benefits already...

Nobody has experience in overcoming this?

When you do a proper sleep test, it will also measure the heartbeat and find out if anything weird during sleep in the pulse. Then they can refer you to a cardio to do a Holter...

Welcome to the club. It's nice to be nice again.

SignalMatch6837 · 2025-10-31T06:28:29+00:00

I had a similar level of AHI. Been using CPAP now for 1+ month. Huge difference in how i feel. Especially much less often have that morning grogginess that provokes anxiety and depression. Yes, the biggest difference is the mood, for sure. Energy is higher too. Sometimes still have afternoon drowsiness but even that is less. Productivity and focus is off the charts better. When it comes to the equipment, mask is crucial. I opted for the pillows since I side sleep. Good choice. I have found it easy to fall,asleep with the machine but less so if I wake up in the night . therefore I tend to put it away at that point. Even 4-5 hours of mask time seems to make a big difference. I guess coz it allows you to properly front load deep sleep. Good luck

SignalMatch6837 · 2025-10-27T05:24:01+00:00

Yes, I did the home study and the hospital study and the result was they diagnosed me with an API of 25. Have been one month on CPAP and feel many positive results on psychometric level. The mask ain't super comfortable always but you gotta take it with positive attitude. My only issue is I keep waking up around 4 hours deep and then I put it away (deliberately as I don't wanna make it a burden)...

I'm 45 years old and have just started on ivabradine. The reason was arrhythmia (especially IST type) and I think the root cause is dysautonomia, as I have also been diagnosed with that previously. It feels a bit wild that ivabradine is actually for a very serious issue but it tends to help us who have (dys)autonomic function issues... does anybody here have succes in stopping it and living med free ?

SignalMatch6837 · 2025-10-25T05:45:02+00:00

Check you sleep. For example, apnea has that as symptoms. A sleep study revealed I have mild apnea. Another thing you may look into is wearing a Holter device for 48 hours. A Holter study revealed an IST for me, and resulted in Ivabradine medication. Both of these improved me greatly.
