Hi everyone. Thanks for all your support and replies. I continue to have "flutter" while reating awake or sleeping. I have had three Holters, two echoes (different Cardiologists), one treadmill, four Allopath doctor visits, one visit to Emerg (BP 180/110 three nights in a row), three psychiatric vis...

Hi there, I hope this is not off topic. I am waking up every night for only the past six weeks or so, with palpitations that returned after i did some heavy work sanding and POLYURETHANE varnishing a floor in July-September last year (have seen the Cardiologist and had several tests done including E...

Hi Robysue, Note: i don't have an arrythmia according to my Cardiologist (and many before him) but I get "something" that "vibrates/flutters" somewhere inside, just as I am dropping off to sleep. I don't focus on it when i am sleeping; but Thanks so much for replying. I was originally assigned Auto ...

Hi Pugsy, I finally saw the Cardiologist today and he said my heart is normal. I thank God for this. I don't have any "arrhythmia". However, i still cannot set my machine with optimal therapy (Respironics System One Bipap Auto and/or Remstar Aire10 For Her) because my sleep study clinic is holding o...

Hi there, This sentence in your response seems to highlight precisely what I have experience: I need to read up on this medication...so remind me if I forget but I need to see what the machine is recording at the same time. It's possible that you are experiencing what we call a sleep onset central a...

I'm not sure what you mean. I have Oscar. But posting screenshots in Imagur is not interactive; is there a way to post something from Oscar which is interactive (instead of posting partial pages showing SOME of the data from the night's sleep)?

Thanks for that. I see the RR of 50 and it is the same in APAP mode: https://imgur.com/a/e1dZlP0 I don't think i am actually breathing that fast; but i am asleep so i can't tell. I switched my therapy back to APAP from CPAP mode last night and the AHI improved. I don't know how to add a "interactive...

Hi Chicago Granny, The "pauses" are in the Flow Rate (see attached). Have you seen things like this before? I just don't know if my settings are correct -- I used the same settings a few days ago and didn't get those pauses, or the cluster of events. Not sure how to improve my therapy to erase such ...

Hi Chicago Granny, Thanks for the reply. It appears you could be right: I am woken up in the middle of my sleep and it takes awhile to get back to sleep. What i am concerned about is the long pauses (some appear to be 1 minute long) in the following charts: https://imgur.com/a/ANzH81r I don't know i...

I was taking CALM but have been using Seroquel (25 mg) for the past week because I was only getting about two-three hours of sleep on the CALM. On the Seroquel I get more sleep; but i am concerned that it is making me stop breathing for as long as a minute(!). Could you or anyone else on the board h...

Hi Chicago Granny,

I have added the link. Please could you have a look?

I highlighted two sections that look "unusual" but I don't know if they are or not.

Thanks for your help I appreciate it very much!

Hi, Thanks for the helpful feedback. Attached are the latest dataset. I have highlighted two results (Insp Time, Resp Time and Minute Vent) which seems to show I had a 40-minute period of low breathing (but I might be reading this incorrectly); the Insp Time is almost flat, vs the Resp Rate and Minu...

Hi, That's great to hear. My problem is that i have to wait for a referral from my family doctor (who has no Sleep Medicine expertise) to see a Sleep Disorder Specialist and take a Sleep Study; it takes weeks to get this done and get the results. When i have the results, i can then set my CPAP or AP...

Hi all, Thanks for the informative feedback; especially for the encouraging article on sleep-apnea and arrhythmias. I hope others may contribute more. I have seen improvement in my sleep after taking Seroquel (prescribed by the psychiatrist my doctor sent me to for anxiety relating to the "flutter")...

Hi, I am not new to CPAP or APAP. I have used a Respironics machine (CPAP) for 12 years and, when that machine started having issues ("Call Support Displayed), I bought a ResMEd Aire10 AUtoset For Her. I have an issue with a "flutter". I have had some success (6 hours of sleep) using the Autoset in ...
