Sleep Apnea 2: Sleep Lab (Part 1)
Getting prepped by Vlad, the scoring technician, at New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center Sleep Lab for a sleep study to evaluate my apnea and titrate a cpap treatment. Special thanks to Vlad for participating in the video. When my camera battery died, he let me borrow his (he has the same camera) and changed memory cards and setup shots. And, he is natural on camera – A star is born! Also thanks to him and the other techs at NY Hospital Sleep Center for their humanity and competence. Music by Kevin MacLeod www.incompetech.com

Damn…is it just me that can’t understand a word Vlad is saying?
He did have a thick accent, but I got used to it and eventually understood him.
LOL i noticed that too. i dont measure anymore either but i should
Great job Vlad with explaining the procedure…but where are your gloves?!?!?!?!? I’m linking this vid for my techs so they can learn from your explanation
Thank you for sharing!
THAT IS MEAN. If anyone needs a stake driven through ur heart its YOU. You need NINE stakes driven. This Dr. knows what he is doing. YOU DO NOT.
Don’t be a jerk off…learn to take a joke.

LOSE WEIGHT.
Sleep apnea is a direct result from too much fatty tissue.
It’s pointless.
The guy is too damn fat. That is the ONLY reason he has sleep apnea.
The doctor’s of COURSE won’t mention that because then they will lose the patient and lose money.
it’s true 65% of people with osa are overweight but 35% are not weight is not the only reason for sleep apnea
this guy explained it much better than my doctor
Hey check this out….. I just found out today that not all people that have sleep apnea are overweight…. but yes… many are.. including myself…. but his is the kicker…. I was in pretty good shape about 10 years ago when my wife mentioned that I stopped breathing when I slept. At that time I was running 5 miles a day. I thought no biggie.. but as the years gone by it has gotten worse and I have gained a lot of weight. continued…
Continued from previous post… My Dr told me today that a study was just released showing that people that had developed moderate sleep apnea had trouble managing weight even with regular exercise, and people with severe SA gained weight. So there is a connection. At any rate, I start therapy tonight. Thankfully, they were pretty swift in setting me up because I am so severe.. we are talking a possibility of death.. He said there should be immediate improvement. They well run another study soon
To those saying, “Lose weight”: How much energy would you have to exercise if I stood by your bedside and woke you up every 30 seconds, all night every night?
I think the reason sleep apnea causes people to gain weight is because they’re tired all the time from not sleeping properly. It’s just seems to fit. I’m trying to lose weight and I’ve had this problem since I was kid. Always tired all the time. Some nights are good most of the time I have trouble sleeping. Its going on midnight and have work in the morning. Not good
This tech needs to be wearing gloves! Every thisg else seem pretty good.

So did you get a cpap mask? If so how has your sleep or lack of been going? More energy? Not tired all the time? Just curious I am going for my sleep study Wednesday?
Hi, well I have been using the CPAP now for four months and I have to say that it has changed my life. I feel completely rested, no more dozing off and I generally just feel better overall. The mask I use just goes over your nose. It took some getting use to but you have to keep using it. You may experience a little anxiety from time to time, but just take deep breaths and it will pass. The key is to use every night. I was told that I was the only person at my clinic with 100% compliance. Cont.
Cont. When I started this my RD (Respiratory Disturbances) was 92.8/Hr and my lowest oxygen saturation was at 69% and average was 85%… That is dying a slow death people,night after night. You have to get checked and you have to use your CPAP. My last test my RD was 4/Hr this is considered normal and my lowest OS was 93%. My heart was damaged by not getting treatment for so long and my doctors suspect that I may have died and come back several times in my sleep over the years. Cont.
Cont. Don’t let go or blow it off like I did. They really are just finding out how bad Sleep Apnea is. I told my doctor about the “stop breathing thing” 10 years ago and his reply was, “well as long as you wake up in the morning, don’t worry about it”..lol. Anyway best wishes on your sleep study 49ersuck. getting checked is the first step to living better.
