Sleep Apnea – A Sleeping Epidemic

My cat is pawing my lips at night to wake me i have nasal air mask on CPAP Machine, Im exhausted lately My air pressure on CPAP hasn’t been adjusted since 2006 Sept. Should I see Sleep Specialist. This has been occuring for approximately 10 months. Problem is i missed two appointments with Sleep specialist during day as i overslept from fatigue. My cat is well fed. Please respond. She only paws me at nighttime or during sleep.

If you have not had a sleep study done since 2006 and are waking in the morning fatigued then I would suggest another study is warranted.

Most people will have a sleep study done on an annual basis. If you have missed two appointments with your specialist because of sleeping in explain that to the receptionist and see if they can accommodate you later in the day.

   Yes, see your sleep specialist. Even without the cat, you show the symptoms of your CPAP settings being wrong.
