Re: My CPAP Story

Probably so, I was looking much more closely over the waveform this morning and I noticed that I have quite a few events that don't make it to the 10sec threshold to count as an event. They are about 8 seconds and are flatline events. Wouldn't/shouldn't that qualify for something? I see a dot someti...

Re: My CPAP Story

Let me see if you can figure out when I changed from a CPAP with Auto (for 30 days) to a real Auto CPAP. Real DRAMATIC difference. I wonder if it's just an unfortunate Algorithym and was I being properly treated.... I'm now using the Respironics System 1 PR1 Auto, it was the PR1 CPAP with Auto (for ...

Re: SleepyHead 0.9.1 Official Beta Release

Right now I'm using the S9Autoset, so if I switch back to the PRS1Auto I should have no problem importing the data? Did you have to do any fancy stuff to make it happen No I didn't do anything fancy at all You can go get the PR S1 card right now and put it in to import. No need to change anything b...

Re: Battery Backup?

I don't think that I would do anything beyond buying a Full Sine wave UPS that would run for 20-30 minutes and cover 99% of all power outages. It would also start to chirp immediately when the power went out. Total cost $150 - $1000. You could get a lot minutes if your willing to pay for it. Once it...

Re: oxygen desaturation

Normal O2 saturation is around 95%. To find out your personal baseline, lay still in bed for a while , then see where the saturation stabilizes. To qualify as an apnea, an event has to drop your O2 saturation by more than 3% from your basal level for more than 10 seconds. So if your baseline O2 lev...

Re: SleepyHead 0.9 beta sneak preview..

On Thursday, I got up and turned off my xpap machine and went to the restroom at 4am. I went back to bed and put back on the machine. Sleepyhead does not recognize the last session. I took the unit to the DME and they showed the last session. How long did the last session last? Which version of SLe...

OT: Recent ER Visit

I was recently in the ER because of BP issues while is was taking a RA med infusion in my Dr's office. They sent me to the Hospital when my BP couldn't be stabilized. At the ER they had a cuff and oximeter on me and each time that I fell asleep an alarm would sound and when I looked up at the monito...

Re: OT: Dreaming about burping

A funny thing happened last night. The pressure built up in my mask again and it started to come out of my mouth. Normally, it would wake up. Last night my mind decided to incorporate the event into my dream and I dreamed that I had an uncontrollable burp that lasted what seemed to be forever. It w...

Re: My CPAP Story

Thanks Mark! After a little over 1 month of using the CPAP. Here's a few things that I've noticed: 1) I'm NOT SLEEPY all the time. 2) My Fog is clearing up. 3) My Heart Rate has dropped from 115+ to 80+ (At Rest) 4) My Blood Pressure has dropped from 130/95 W/meds to 120/90 with meds (Not much, but ...

Re: SleepyHead 0.8.8 "Almost Beta" Release

Mark, I finally figured it out! I deleted the sleepapp folder and deleted the offending file from the test at the DME, which was the the first file that was conflicting with the last file from the previous CPAP machine. One thing that I did notice though, when I import a new day of info, I have to ...
