Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Hi, I am looking for some ideas on why I wake up every hour or so. I seem to have gotten GERD and that or something else gives me a very dry mouth during the night (I seem to be very thirsty all the time too). Every hour or so I wake up now and can't figure it out. I cant tell if I am breathing faster or what is causing it. I see my Resp Rate moving up, and Tidal Volume and Minute Vent high before I wake but not sure what that means. Perhaps its the dry mouth but seems odd. Any feedback would be appreciated from what you see on the charts or can guess from my issues. Thanks H

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
I wake up after two or three hours with a horribly dry mouth because I can't breathe through my nose. I do use a full face mask. I recently found I have a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. It took me a long time to figure out why I am waking up, but now I'm sure it's because of mouth breathing.

If you're thirsty all the time, yet also having to urinate a lot, I'd get a glucose tolerance test immediately as you could be either diabetic or pre-diabetic. Talk to your doctor if you think there's any chance of that... not everything's about OSA.

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
Ok, here come the questions...
Are the breaks on the charts due to turning the machine off with your wakeups?
Do you use a ramp feature on your machine? If so, how long is it set for and what pressure?
In the breaks in treatment are you going to the bathroom?
Is there any reason to believe your legs are real active when you sleep?

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
I see that your respiratory rate drop sharply before you waking up. It may indicate the waking up is due to obstructive event. Can you show the airflow of one such epoch?

I don't know how to do that. Can you tell me how?

Addressing Riveter's problem: Try this product before you go to bed... it works all night and helps keep your mouth moist. I'd avoid the other similar gel products because they don't last more than a few hours:riveter wrote:I wake up after two or three hours with a horribly dry mouth because I can't breathe through my nose.

Sorry original poster, Hanzt. I don't have an answer for your hourly wake-ups but hopefully some one will come along soon with a solution.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Do you have anything similar going on while you are awake? Sweats, flushing, etc.?
Anything that happens on a similar interval?

I have had the Hemoglobin A1C and that came back normal. Is the glucose tolerance test still needed?

No, I have had a few sleep studies and never an issuekteague wrote:Ok, here come the questions...

Yes

I believe its 10 minutes and ramps from 4 to 6.5
In the breaks in treatment are you going to the bathroom?
2 to 3 times since I drink so much water for the dry throat.
Is there any reason to believe your legs are real active when you sleep?

Re: Help with frequent wake ups and my charts
No, not really. My cortisol is high and some hormones are low, like testosterone and estradiol. That and GERD/Acid Reflux are my main issues.JDS74 wrote:HanzT:

There are a couple of ways. If you left click on an event in the event flag section on top (or, on any other chart), it will center the charts around that event. Continuing to click on the same event will narrow the time selected, effectively expanding the views of the chart. The one musculus was asking to see was the flow rate chart. If you narrow the time to less than 10 minutes, that should be satisfactory.HanzT wrote:Could you please tell me how to do that? I don't know. thanks
Once you've clicked on an event, you can also control the interval and the time center selection with the arrow keys of the computer.
Or, you can click on the Events tab on the left, expand the tree, select an event and control the amount of time selected with the slider bar on the bottom.
