Re: Using ice for cold air?

I can identify with the low O2 levels overnight- our air is actually heated, has anyone tried disconnecting the heater or had a heater fail? Not sure about ice in the tank but it would be nice to O2 enrich the air going in. Also perhaps feeding pressurized O2 into the mix- without a signoff? I am cl...

Re: OT.....Trump falling asleep in court

In the past, he has made claims that he sleeps only three hours a night.
Would/could that not make one psychotic? I just googled the word to be sure it fit.

Re: Past Pest back to bother you again

Thank you Sir- I have been busier than my foggy brain can cope with. Got my 60th class reunion end of week and as I have/had a signshop I was asked to do the signage. Have not done this stuff for 5 years and between rusty and foggy and stressed out, it is going as expected...

Re: Past Pest back to bother you again

I am still here- uploading my data to SleepHQ and watched a couple hours of their videos this am- I found some good explainations so I must plead guilty to making a premature judgement about the 'Goodday Mates' person. And their upload to charting program- I am trying currently how to upload my O2 d...

Re: Important Jason/AXG video

My experiences exactly. My GP roomed with someone getting some degree in cpap related and she is more helpful than anyone at my Healthcare sleepcenter.

Re: Past Pest back to bother you again

My memory is faulty but I would guess two weeks back on cpap. And I use the O2 ring every night [forgot one night- see faulty memory- I have to number my medications [there are eight +vitamins] because I get mixed up on if I have or have not taken them as I proceed]. I can ask my MD if she will get ...

Past Pest back to bother you again

I have been around for most of my cpap adventure and respect you guys a lot. I had open heart surgery a year ago this February and lost my cpap habit after that- could not use it in the hospital [they tell you to bring it but they are not prepared to let/assist in it's use]. My 29 year sweetie [she ...

My heart surgeon was wearing a mini skirt the first time I talked with her. I am a fan now no matter what she wants to wear.

Re: OSCAR chart to grade please? Newguy

Hello sleepy people- long time no see, I have tried the cpap for weeks and got down to around 5AHI- as good as I have ever scored and have been off of it for several weeks, I can detect no difference [ early days I had really good days sprinkled with not so good and bad days] I found a GP [mine reti...

Re: Use cpap machine for sleep study?

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond. My original sleep study was 59 AHI and while it is better, I have never scored below mid 4.0 AHI. I did notice a great improvement even at an AHI around 10 [average before surgery]. I obviously was battling poor heart performance but it still was like th...

Re: Use cpap machine for sleep study?

I am going to post a couple charts for comparison- one before surgery [end of Jan, 23] and one now [jun 2,23] as the apneas seem like they would mean something. Before surgery I could feel a real difference from a night of cpap treatment https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tk8so52wahdjez24k2czd/screensho...
