I feel better now...

Well, I really tried to be civil, but that kinda went to shit. Page 23. Tell the cheap bastard to start: But you know what that aborigine fuck is going to say? "We don't have to because AASM says nasal pressure and inductance plethysmography are perfectly fine alternatives" (Note: Australasian Sleep...

So in answer to your question, you can make pretty waveforms (and did so) with BiPAP.

However, everything you've presented so far shows your sleep efficiency to be about 55%. You'd need to get to 70% just to get to awful.

My sleep specialist said himself that PSGs aren't programmed to pick up on RERAs and flow limitations accurately. It's something to do with the fact that outdated definitions of hypopneas are used, meaning more subtle oxygen desaturations aren't picked up on. "Not programmed"? He could have (and sh...

And even if you wanted to use Tufik Criteria, AFL was not reported in your studies-- besides even he notes It is characterized by an increase in upper airway resistance and/or flow limitation leading to sleep fragmentation , resulting in daytime sleepiness. again underscoring the concomitant need fo...

considering you haven’t elaborated on why you think I don’t have UARS. Sure, no prob. UARS by definition is a disease (although some clinicians don't even believe it is an entity) that is based on having RERAs, specifically =/>5/hr. Your 4/5/16 study shows RERA Index = 0.2. Your 4/23/23 study shows...

Based on the information provided: 1. Your conclusion that UARS is the cause of your difficulties appears unfounded. Indeed, there isn't any evidence of it at all. 2. Your sleep quality is about 30 times worse than it should be. 3. A sleep log would help to examine overall sleep hygiene (it only tak...

... your help. In order for that to happen, I will need: As previously requested, a description of every OSA-associated surgery you've had; A complete report of every sleep study you've had; A current list of all medications; A 2-week sleep log (AASM has one); The Oscar files; and The broomstick of...

What’s the difference between a “you” breath and a machine “breath”? "You" breathe in a negative pressure system-- diaphragm drops down, air gets sucked in, restrictions to flow (usually) appear as flow limitations, and worsen the more aggressively you try to inhale. The "machine" utilizes a positi...

And we wait for Rubicon's thoughts.

I think your observations and additional questions are spot-on.

...80kg. height and 170cm weight.

Yeah, metric system confuses me too.

1) There's a sudden drop in how much air you're breathing

Well, technically, it's not how much-- it's how fast (flow vs volume).

Load data into SleepHQ. Can't tell much by Oscar screenshots.

In re: above waveforms, although one can not be really sure if you're asleep, what sleep stage you're in, or what body position, IMO those look like 4 (and perhaps 5) RERAs going to arousal despite 15 cmH2O pressure.
