Just to clarify:
You were diagnosed with OSA. You learned this technique, did another sleep study and were told you were all clear. Is that right?
What was your AHI before "curing" yourself? Afterward, was it 0 or just below the diagnostic criteria of 5?
- ein0p 3y agoYou can wear an oxymeter to bed nowadays, which I do. I don’t need a “sleep study” to confirm my oxygenation is adequate though the night and I no longer wake up gasping for breath like I used to.
- schwartzworld 3y agoSo that would be a "no".
- ein0p 3y agoOr a “yes” seeing that I do a “sleep study” every night and check the results at least once a week. I don’t see why I need to pay a doctor to tell me if I’m asleep or to monitor my blood oxygen in 2024, much for the same reason why “computer” now means a tiny device you own, and not a room full of people.
- frumper 3y agoA sleep study is more than just monitoring your blood oxygen.
- schwartzworld 3y agoOk "yes" if you're willing to ignore actual diagnostic criteria in favor of "whatever I decide the criteria is". Oxygen saturation isn't what they use, and lack of oxygen is not the issue with apnea. Id normally let your comment go unresponded, but you are giving dangerous advice.
