I was having a horrible time sleeping at night and they sent me home with an "at home" test that I did in Phoenix at a friends house, it showed mild sleep apnea. They put me on a CPAP machine. I went through 1 year of being on a regular sleep pap machine with no resolution. I finally went to another doctor who put me through a formal study, also in Phoenix. This allowed for us to change the settings. However, I was having larger Central Sleep Apnea events, they decided to try me on 3 liters of oxygen while I am sleeping. This has allowed me to sleep better. It appears that I have High Altitude Sleep Apnea and/or Complex Sleep Apnea.

I am having intermittent bouts of hypoxia and have had so many tests I can't count. One test was a sleep study which showed moderate sleep apnea. Cpap was prescribed. I feel horrible on this machine. More chronic fatigue than before. My central apneas have tripled on the cpap. Waiting to hear from the dr. They have bumped up the pressure already which increased the CSA even more. Have no idea why.
