Please see the Sleep Studies forum for adding your thoughts about your lab experiences. We'd like to get patient experiences positive and negative with an eye towards constructive criticism and needless bashing.
Thanks,
I am new to all this& it's a little confusing.I had ad a 2 night study which i was GRATEFUL for!! The respiratory therapist was wonderful both times! I had this done in a sleep lab @ a hospital which a neurologist oversees. He never sees the Pt. just inteperts all the readings. I realyy would have liked to have had a chance to talk with him & have everything explqined to me though. I was refered by my ENT after having a uvulaectomy & seeptoplasty over 5 yrs. ago due to Horrible loud snoring. Surgery worked until a little over a year ago then he cauterized in my nose. Ouch! When this didn't help he sugested another surgery & this is when I ASKED for a sleep study!! I was diagnosis of significant obstructive apnea. No further appointments with the ENT as far as I know. So my lab expierence was as good as possible under the circumstances.
