Can I just order a CPAP machine if I’m pretty sure I have sleep apnea? Do I really need a dr. sleeping study?
My girlfriend has watched me sleep, and is pretty certain I have sleep apnea. I am not insured, and a sleep study costs greater than the costs of getting a CPAP machine. So I’m thinking I might as well just order the CPAP machine, that will be necessary if the tests confirm that I have sleep apnea. What are the potential negative consequences of me just ordering a CPAP machine over the internet and treating myself?
I realize the standard is to do it through a doctor. But it’s a lot of money. And I want to see if there are any dangerous consequences to me just ordering the machine on ebay, and administering it to myself.

I have sleep apnea but I can’t get used to using my CPAP machine….?
I sleep on my stomach and I have the nasal mask for my CPAP machine but I can’t get comfy at all and can’t fall asleep. I have never slept through the night with it and I am tired every day. I am wondering if I took a sleeping pill with it at night if that would help. I need to figure something out because the coffee is starting not to be effective with keeping me awake during the day. Any help or suggestions out there?

Using sleeping tablets while on cpap therapy?
I have been diagnosed with Obstructive sleep apnea in Dec 06 after I went for a sleep study. Oxygen levels drop to 65% and stop breathng for 57 seconds 400 times a night. In January 2007 I went in for sleep to test pressure for CPAP and it is 8cmH20. I have received my cpap machine today and would like to know if i can use sleeping medication just to get used to this machine, cause dr actually told me that sleeping tablets made apnea worse.
