I've beeb using Sleep Strip for years. It's a good screening test that correlates pretty well with formal sleep studies. It won't give you a number, but rather ranges from none, to mild, moderate or severe. You still need a doctor's prescription. Ty…
The AHA is a trade organization, just like all the other medical organizations. Their main goal is to protect their member's professional and financial interests. Admitting that OSA is a major cause of heart disease would be upsetting the status quo…
Ok Mike has made me impatient Dr. Park.
Please join me on Thursday, September 2nd at 2 PM Eastern when Tara Marie Segundo of Tara Marie Live interviews me about my book, Sleep, Interrupted: A Physician reveals the #1 reason why so many of us are sick and tired. Click on this link to liste…

Susan McCord :-)
This one's free. Everyone who signs up will have access to the recording afterwards. But I urge everyone to be on the live call.
I'm hoping I remember to tune in. I'll be signing up now. If I miss it I will want to buy a copy as well. Which reminds me ... there is already one I signed up for and forgot about until too late that I need to purchase a copy of.

Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome — A Primer
Note: This is an edited transcription of a podcast recording
Today, we are going to spend the next 30 minutes talking about upper airway resistance syndrome, or UARS. It’s a relatively new description of a condition that’s related to obstructive sleep apnea but as you’ll hear in this podcast, has enormous ramifications in regards to so many health conditions that we see, not only in our field, but in almost every other field in general. I have to say, however, that this is a condition that is n… Continue

- Dr. Parks.
Would we see any changes with OSA or Central apnea when treating cardiac patients with ionotropic, chronotropic medications?

- Thanks Dr Park. I did decide my attitude was out of line. Please blame it on chronic irritability (just lately) and sticker shock. Still I would be interested in what your consult consists of.
I did delete the comment as unnecessarily antagonistic. My humble apologies.

- And thank you re: the mp3 file. That was the first telecast I've really taken part in. I've never had much interest in youtube, twitter, myface and telecasts and online videos due to being a victim of slow speed dial up as our only available option in our rural area.

- I so hope they will!!!! I've been absolutely enthralled w/DeVilbiss and F&P finally coming out w/fully data capable xPAPs! And delighted that PB has come out w/the new Sandman and would love to know more about them. Even tho I'm on bi-level. *sigh* I really LOVE my Resmeds and the ease of acess to so much data via the LCD screen. I really didin't lke the fussy access to the limited data on the Respironics. And I really HATED the power brick and platform of the Respironics too. The Resmed S8s have been such a CONVENIENT style, especially when traveling and changing motels each night. I was so sorely disappointed to see the S9s have the doggone extra cord and the power brick - two of the things I've hated most about the Respironics. I've got my fingers crossed that they will do a presentation for us!!!
And by the way - you sounded so YOUNG during the telecast!!!

Thank you,

- Hello Dr. Park,
I went to: http://doctorstevenpark.com/ - and I am not able to find a link for the PDF file. I looked under: Home, Sleep Apnea, Articles, Expert Interviews, Press Room, Resources and Contact Us. Am I going to the right website?
Thank you,
Renee

She gave a number of god reasons for deep sleep inefficiency.

- I thought of another!!! One of more "general interest", I'm sure. How about a good RRT explaing the features of the various brand and models of xPAPs? Or maybe a manufacturer's Rep from the "majors" such as Resmed, Respironics, DeVilbiss, Puritan Bennet and Fisher & Paykel.
New xPAP users are almost never given any choice in xPAP they receive nor any choice of brand nor even aware that they can "shop" their local DME provider options their insurance is contracted with.

Yup, if you've got insurance, your insurance dictates which local DME providers you can use.
Just because you bought your CPAP elsewhere does NOT mean that your insurance contracted providers can't or won't provide your masks and other accessories.…
Linda, thanks your your help. When I call Apria, I wil ask them why they did not offer me a payment plan.
Good luck!
Hi Candace,
Apria is giving me a payment plan for 10 months, after that I will buy it if I still need it. In the mean time, all of the folks here are so helpful they told me the best cpap to get and low and behold, Apria did not give me a newer mode…
Linda, I read your question re: CPAP Machine and Apria. I also am not impressed with them. I have Kaiser and Kaiser will not pay for my equipment. Apria says that I have to pay all costs up front. Are you on a payment plan with Apria. I have severe…
First, let me say, Thank you for going to bat for us. I think you are doing a fantastic job in spreading OSA awareness and providing us with OSA a place to go for support. Apparently there is no connection between a college degree and intelligence,…
You hit the nail on the head. I had a similar experience last year with another organization, The Alzheimer's Association. I ask for permission to pass out a flyer, "Does Sleep Apnea Cause Alzheimer's Disease?," at one of their annual meetings regar…
Then she should say that... Say anything other than the falsehood that the connection between OSA and heart disease isn't sufficiently proven.
"Respironics recommends that new patients purchase their devices, masks and initial accessories from a homecare company that can provide an individualized patient equipment set-up, clinical and after-sale support, and a program to assist patients wi…
Maybe you should be the communications director for the AHA ;-).
I believe that individuals should be free to make decisions for themselves. This goes for the patients and the providers. The patient is free to decide what to do and who to pay for what services. The provider is free to decide what services he offe…
I'M NOT A 100% SURE OF THE NAME OF MY MASK I THINK IT'S CALLED A PROFILE LITE IT HAS A THICK GEL CUSHION ON THE FORHEAD PIECE AND THE ALL AROUND THE MASK. I STILL END UP WITH RED MARKS ON THE BRIDGE OF MY NOSE AND FOREHEAD BUT THEY FADE IN AN HOUR O…
by no means am i suggesting that this one person believes one thing or another. rather, she is the director of marketing and communications for the AHA. it is her job to communicate the organization's viewpoints to the public, and that's what she wa…
HEY, I read the funny e-mails! HAH, I'm heading north tomorrow...
I received my machine in March with a nasal pillow mask. I switched to a full face mask because I was breathing thru my mouth.I was struggling with getting used to wearing the mask, finally got to the point of wearing it every night.I could not get…
Ah ha, BirdShell!!! You can ignore me, but we managed to lure you out of your hiding place w/this thread, eh??
Too bad too. Danielle, Ashley, Nicole and I are all meeting at La Placita in Saginaw for lunch tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you!!!! Nico…
I agree with your advice,Mike.Once I was treated for a sinus infection,I had replaced everything .Also, it is a good idea to use saline to cleanse the sinuses at least twice daily . You may look into the use of a Nettie Pot,,,,that can throughly cle…
I tried wearing a band aid on the bridge of my nose the other night and it helped, but not enough. Most of the "solutions' that I've found end up causing to much air to leak. I started wearing the bandana (folded in several layers and tied like a he…
I have to comment! I ran Jump Rope for Heart (JRFH) activities/fundraisers in my classes for years. (For more information: http://www.aahperd.org/jump/ and http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=2360 This is a good condensation of t…
