Re: Without Cannabis my AHI Went Up!!

I did start taking Ozempic 2 weeks ago tomorrow and have lost just over 15 pounds. That’s crazy… The swelling in my body is completely gone…all of it. Do you mean the injections helped resolve water retention problems? I have relatives with edema, so I am interested in possible solutions. Thank you...

Re: Without Cannabis my AHI Went Up!!

I use an excellent company called Sunsoil for cbd. They have gelcaps which require no fridge or measuring. A buck apiece and you can get 30 to try and not put out bigtime funds. https://www.sunsoil.com/products/cbd-softgels-90ct I used to dabble back in the day. I don’t anymore. Not since the time ...

Re: Without Cannabis my AHI Went Up!!

Yes I know under 5 is good. I just find it interesting my AHI has increased several hundred percent without a cannabis edible. I have just used it to sleep like a rock. as lennon said whatever gets you through night! i'm curious though, does the edible help you GET to sleep or STAY asleep? without ...

Without Cannabis my AHI Went Up!!

At our place in Florida for a couple weeks and didn’t bring my liquid cannabis for edibles and my AHI went from less than 1 to around 4. First night it was 1.5 and other than one night, it’s gone up to now just under 4. I did bring one vape cartridge and even took a couple puffs before bed but it di...

Re: Apple Watch SpO2 during sleep.

(but it has validated the atrial fibrillation detection via the heart rate monitor) I like the watch, but Apple irritates me in the way they promote this. They mislead by claiming Apple watch will warn of AFIB. The only time the watch does an ECG is when the wearer stops, sits quietly, presses the ...

Re: First Time Autoset User Finding Pressure Max Every Night

Have any of you used a service like Singular Sleep? It looks like they have a service for $45 to have sleep data reviewed by a board-certified physician. That's the last thing you need. Sleep apnea is an odd duck. Doctors are good at differential diagnosis but don't know much about machines, masks,...

Re: First Time Autoset User Finding Pressure Max Every Night

Thank you Pugsy for your input. Have any of you used a service like Singular Sleep? It looks like they have a service for $45 to have sleep data reviewed by a board-certified physician. However, I have a feeling there are several on here that have enough experience to be considered “experts” and it’...

Re: First Time Autoset User Finding Pressure Max Every Night

The minimum pressure setting is your most important setting choice....not the maximum. It does the bulk of the work holding your airway open. How much time to you spend sleeping on your back? Experiencing any nasal congestion? I spend zero minutes on my back. I get nasal congestion sometimes when I...

The wife says no snoring. This is from yesterday at 15 max and my sleep rating was 100% so. I noticed the hypopnea is always higher than Obstructive Apnea. Is that normal? OK…I’ll raise the minimum to 13 and set max at 15. I’m shocked there aren’t sleep doctors for this…

Re: First Time Autoset User Finding Pressure Max Every Night

Screenshot (3).png This is from last night with Oscar. It makes a csv file but can’t upload and maybe that’s not the way to do it anyway. Gosh I feel horrible today compared to the past few days. Looking at the data…and I could be way off but looks like a max of 15 works best with maybe 10 or so mi...

Re: First Time Autoset User Finding Pressure Max Every Night

OK…it maxed out again at 19.9 with a higher AHI than I’ve ever seen at 3.2…and more importantly I don’t feel as good. The pressure that high doesn’t feel great either to me anyway. If there’s even the slightest leak…wow it’s loud. I will try to upload something later this morning for y’all to look a...

Re: First Time Autoset User Finding Pressure Max Every Night

“Then we start raising your min pressure till we get it up to where it needs to be, and the machine keeps you from getting unstable and needing way higher pressures...” Thank you…now that’s helpful. I’ll raise it to 10 as a minimum for tonight with 20 as max and see what I get. I do feel much better...

Re: First Time Autoset User Finding Pressure Max Every Night

I will have to look into that software. I downloaded something from Resmed and there’s this Australian fella who has a YouTube channel and website called SleepHQ and I uploaded the data card info. take a look at the bottom of the posts from user iamstumped. he has links for the oscar software and l...
