I begrudgingly went to my second night of the sleep study. I know they are screwing with me and i will be charged for this "2nd night".
[[Upon arriving to my first sleep study I was told that my insurance ONLY covers what is called a "split- night". If I had signs of needing CPAP I would be awakened halfway through the study, fitted with a mask and sent back to la la land. I woke up around 6 a.m. with NO MASK..hence, no CPAP needed.....right?? A week later I got a phone call telling me I had signs/episodes and I now needed a 2nd night...I smell a rat.]]
Anyhow, went and was pre fitted with the first mask, nose only...."Get it off of me"!
I felt like I was being smothered.
Second mask, went over nose AND mouth...."Nope, get it off of me"!
Ok, now I am being a PITA! Um, I couldn't breathe!
Ok, # 3 is what is called "nose pillows". Still feel very weird when I try to breathe with my mouth open...but we'll try it.
Woke up around 1 to pee.....no problems so far.....had a little bit of trouble getting back to sleep.
I was JARRED out of sleep my water being sprayed into my nose/throat and leaking on my head....I felt like I was choking. I was aspirating....I was dying.....
Ok, a little drama..but I was choking a bit...coughed it up and yelled for them to come get their equipment off me now please!
The tech said she put the humidity too high with the last adjustment. Ya' think!?
I was ten minutes shy of a full study required by insurance....it better be enough.
Took most of the goop out of my hair, threw my hair in a Novo hat and went on my way.
I didn't feel rested. I felt the same as I do every other morning I wake up at 5:30 a.m.
I'm a stubborn little shit when I want to be. I am not going to wear any apparatus. Nope, not doing it.
