I dont' have sleep apnea but I am an insomniac. Tirz has greatly helped me sleep thru the night.
This is a fantastic result - congratulations!I've used a CPAP successfully for several years to treat my severe sleep apnea.
With CPAP therapy my 62 Obstructive Sleep Apneas per Hour (untreated) is reduced to a very, very low 0.4 OSA/hour.
Semaglutide has enabled me to lose over 20% of my bodyweight in the past year.
Now I use 38% LESS PRESSURE and keep my OSAs NEAR ZERO!
Those who don't use CPAP won't know this but a 38% reduction in mask pressure is a HUGE amount.
I've spent the past month transitioning to Tirzepatide @ 7.5mg weekly.
Will Tirz decrease my OSAs and allow further pressure reductions? I'll keep you updated![]()

That's interesting to hear.I dont' have sleep apnea but I am an insomniac. Tirz has greatly helped me sleep thru the night.
Did your research into Tirz fatigue have anything to say about improvements from Stacking Reta or transitioning entirely to Reta?Sleep improvement is thought to be due to the effect on the sleep wake cycle. I read an article about it when I was researching fatigue with tirzepatide. I will try to find it again and link it. I am worthless for two days post injection d/t fatigue
Do you do a sleep study every so often or are you tracking Apnea events another way? I also have it and use a CPAP but Id like to know how much it has improved with weight loss.I've used a CPAP successfully for several years to treat my severe sleep apnea.

I have a Resmed VAuto 10. Like many CPAP machines it keeps a record of its use in an enclosed mini-USB Card. There is a free sofware package called Oscar that can read the data and produce quite detailed reports like the one below. Runs on PCs and Macs.Do you do a sleep study every so often or are you tracking Apnea events another way? I also have it and use a CPAP but Id like to know how much it has improved with weight loss.
Yes I think so!I have also heard of mobile apps that get information relayed to them via the CPAP machine.
Ok, interesting. I have the Resmed Airsense 10. I dont think mine has the mini-Card but Ill have to check for sure. Id also like to know where Im at with no CPAP usage at all without paying a bargeload for a sleep study.I have a Resmed VAuto 10.

Thats what I had and upon replacing my machine with the same model it is no longer available for the new machine. Now SD is my only option. Big bummer.Yes I think so!
A few years back some of the boffins on CPAPTalk.com had implemented a USB WiFi enabled card system. Standard component mounted on a CPAP machine transmitted to a laptop/desktop without the need to physically move the USB drive. Very nice!
