what it means


I can't wait to get my cpap machine.... I go for another sleep study tomorrow night to test out the cpap machine.. the doctor said I might need to get a bipap machine that kinda breaths in and out for me because of how bad my apnea is ..
No wonder I am so darn tired all the time ...

My echo was normal except I am on the high side of normal for Pulmonary Hypertension my pressure is 34 and above 35 is high ...this can be caused from the sleep apnea ...

I also have another toothache so am going back to the dentist in the morning the side of my face is even swollen ugh...
