Re: Help please-newby cpap pressure/Oscar data

Data from 7/22 & 7/23

7/23 has recommended settings.
9max/9min constant pressure.

I feel horrible. I'm getting no sleep (less than 5min REM according to sleep monitor) and I'm not thinking clearly.

Re: Help please-newby cpap pressure/Oscar data

Btw- I did have several freak-outs at the sleep-lab. Ended up using several different masks. I woke up several times too & was awakened (my 02 dropped into 80s-and they wake you when that happens) so I really didn't feel that I got a good deep sleep there.

Re: Help please-newby cpap pressure/Oscar data

I didn't change to cpap mode, but will today.

I,too,have been accused of sleep-assault. Apparently, I turn into Mohammed Ali at night

Re: Help please-newby cpap pressure/Oscar data

One last thing (I promise) until I post data tomorrow (hopefully): 1) I wear a finger oxometer & it consistently drops into the 70s. I DO have Rynaulds Phenomenon (big word for poor hand circulation), so I purchased a smartwatch with oxometer 24hr monitor (shows same kind of dip) 2) I HAVE been upse...

Re: Help please-newby cpap pressure/Oscar data

"I notice that the sleep study recommends a pressure setting of 9. Why is machine at 8-20" The pulmonary dr wrote a prescription with 8pmin/20pmax as the setting-Med Warehouse filled the RX with an Ibreeze. It was H-E-Double-hockey-sticks! The med Warehouse wouldn't adjust the ibreeze, so I went rog...

Re: Help please-newby cpap pressure/Oscar data

I was asleep during the flagged data. At the sleep study, I had a great deal of difficulty going to sleep. I did sleep, but not as deeply as usual. I have a great deal of movement during sleep- I have since I was a child. I often sleepwalk. My father once found me standing in the middle of a busy hi...
