The only times I was wearing the mask I have all those apneas. I sent this to my doc and asked him, and I didnt get any response except a 'did you get your 2nd opinion referral request yet?' no, I havent. during my only brief hour sleeps with the bipap, the chart looks the same. if my o2 isnt droppi...

so, I gave up for a while. But then I tried it during the day and got this... https://i.imgur.com/jYUJksQ.jpg How am I getting central apneas in the day? is this normal? Is it due to the bipap? I tried this yesterday again, and after that I had sharp chest pain, which has lasted till the afternoon t...

well, he only checked one night, which I hardly slept much, said o2 was fine. I know it likes to hover around 92% cutting food earlier helped a little with headaches, I think it was mostly salt related. but regardless, never really rested Still getting 40+ahi when I attempt to use it, I've maybe got...

My doctor dismisses everything I say.

You need another doctor.

well it took 6 months to get into this one, and 9 to the last one, I dont really have choices

Dear friend, your Oscar sleep data is horrible. First of all you only had the mask on for less than a couple of hours in total. I am assuming that you were up in between and took the mask off. You need to see your doctor immediately. A BiPAP machine is NOT going to help your clearly SEVERE CSA. Als...

You sound like you never read your studies an never tried to understand their terms. Look at your titratiion study. See where it says PLM? That's Periodic Leg Movement

I know it's in the reports, but no one said anything about it after the studies I had, is what I ment.

You did not have tons of central apneas on bi-lelvel therapy in your titration study I added my muse eeg headband data to that post, which clearly shows I'm either in deep sleep or REM sleep during the apneas Zooming in on the oscar charts shows they are 15-20 second halts in flow, which actually g...

my doc ordered an o2 meter test for my machine/room Do you mean an O2 meter test of while you're using your machine asleep in your room? That should be very informative. You have to have good oxygenation and good breathing. When that is fixed, the other things affecting the quality of your sleep - ...

my doc ordered an o2 meter test for my machine/room

I'd only say the anxiety happened when I woke up, due to not being able to breath/out of breath. Anxiety was the reason in the past I was on benzos, it's not as much of an issue now days

Oscar data from last night, obviously took it off a few times as I was just too out of breath. I grabbed my o2 meter just before the big gap and was at 85%, probably lower https://i.imgur.com/TUxXRYr.png https://i.imgur.com/ePgwIaG.png EDIT: I wanted to take this a step further, and during this nigh...

Thanks for your input. I dont think I'll be able to ever afford asv out of pocket, cant even keep a job now. finally got some sleep in last night, my AHI hit 18.65 according to oscar. I dont know if it'll be helpful, but I have a muse s headband, so I can get basic EEG+sleep phase and heart rate da...

Respiratory therapist, where I got the BIPAP from, put it on auto. Doc only prescribed 13/6. What would work better? I would add, that I had a very inconsistent sleep schedule/poor sleep hygiene, when I had the initial sleep study. I made sure I woke extra early and slept only 4-5 hours prior to my ...

thanks, added my sleep studies to it

I've been diagnosed with CSA with minor OSA, I'm relatively fit but always have bad brain fog and no energy. takes about 6-8 hours 'wake up', no amount of cold showers, ice baths, caffeine or Adderall really helps. Maybe Adderall helps ,but no one will prescribe it.. always wake up exhausted. Just s...
