Re: SH Graph Problems

Thanks Pugsy. That option wasn't available in my version, so I upgraded to 9.3 and everything works great.

Re: SH Graph Problems

Now that I look at it even closer, when I hit "reset" it fixes the axis range labels, but then when I switch days, it keeps that same range and I need to hit "reset" again to get the labels correct for that day. I don't ever remember this happening before. Any ideas?

SH Graph Problems

Was checking over my SleepyHead graphs this morning and noticed the pressure graphs didn't seem to match the minimum and maximum pressures listed in the details. What I found is that each day the graph itself is correct, but the axis labels are wrong. It appears that many of the graphs have a wrong ...

O2 Levels

At what level of O2 do you need to begin to be worried?? Is it more about time spent at low levels, or is it a problem anytime you hit certain levels? In an effort to understand my major cluster of events right after falling asleep, I got Oximeter to see how it was effecting my O2 levels. Last night...

Re: Questions on Data

Hi again Sleepless_in_LM! Your situation kind of reminds me of the time after I was robbed, beaten and stabbed five times. After a day or so in the ICU and acute care, after I walked and did not leak, and finding that I had a daughter to tend the wounds they sent me home. So I lay awake one night, ...

Re: suggestions please!

He knows I have been reading the site, will try to get him to get on and read/post questions. He got mad at me a few nights so I backed of some, I know he is just angry or whatever the right word is to have to wear it. We do have a friend who uses a cPAP and he told him it took about two weeks for ...

That has been a change in the last 6 weeks. I used to be stomach sleeper, but ba...

Re: suggestions please!

Kudos to you for being stubborn. A supportive spouse can make all the difference between success and failure, especially when you're struggling to make what seems a terribly intrusive therapy to work. When first diagnosed, it can be a bit of shock to think about strapping a mask on every night. Ther...

Re: Questions on Data

Yikes! Last nights was the worst one yet. It took me a few more minutes to fall asleep since I was looking for those aliens, but once asleep (or at least I think I am asleep), I had 47 minutes with 58 events and an AHI for that time period of over 70. Today I ordered an oximeter. If my O2 levels are...

Re: Questions on Data

Maybe it is the aliens experimenting on you just twice a night. It's odd for sure. The fact that you had similar reports on the older machine means it has been going on for a while. Something is changed but don't know what. Do you have any nights where you don't have a cluster pretty much immediate...

Re: Questions on Data

If you are pretty sure you are asleep when these clusters happen...then for some reason something is going on that is totally different for the rest of the night because except for these 2 clusters you night is near perfect. Something is changing...something is causing a need for more pressure to p...

Re: Questions on Data

Hi Sleepless_in_LM! To #1 I say no. It is very hard to tell from your time compressed displayes but it looks like you have some events (probably real events) which raise the pressure up - which - is making your breathing a bit more unstable for a time. You do recover and adapt to the pressure and a...

Re: Questions on Data

Do you think you might be still awake at that time? Look closely at the airflow waveform at the time you have these clusters. Consider how long the events are, how completely you stop breathing, how much time between events you have to catch your breath, etc. Think about how much harm you could be ...

Re: Questions on Data

The clusters of events around the time you go to bed and when you are awake are likely the machine sensing and recording awake breathing irregularities as apnea events. The machine doesn't know if you are awake or asleep. If you normally take a bit of time to fall asleep after turning the machine o...

Questions on Data

I am a long time hosehead, but new to SleepyHead. What an awesome program! Kudos to JediMark, and everyone else that had a hand in its development. I just recently started on my new series 60 Respironics APAP. Thanks to a suggestion from Pugsy on increasing my minimum pressure, the new machine and I...
