Have now deleted the faulty links to Sleephq - Looks like you have to have a (expensive) Pro account to sare publically!
No you don't. I'm on a free SleepHQ account and can share my data. Here's how you do it:

Re: Strange breathing waveform

Thanks, I moved my post to my previous thread. If someone could take a look and advise, I'd appreciate it.
This thread can probably be deleted now.

Strange breathing waveforms

Hey everyone, I'd appreciate some pointers on the strange breathing waveform I had last night Today I woke up extra tired and cranky and with some heavy sensation in the lungs. Upon closer analysis of my last night's SleepHQ , I noticed that there were several periods during the night when my breath...

Re: Strange breathing waveform

Please try to keep all your issues in ONE thread. All our operators are volunteers, and making more work makes them tired. I promise I'm not planning to start a new thread for every day of my treatment. I just thought that this topic was substantially different from questions I asked in the previou...

Re: Bipap turns off at night

ftr - some electrical devices may be more prone (sensitive) to a power dip than others. I second that. Some devices are more finicky than others. I'd start by getting a small UPS like this . They're dirt cheap now. A trip to a local electronics store is probably quicker than the hassle of replacing...

Re: ASV side effects

Have a chat with your doctor about your fatigue....it wouldn't be impossible for your fatigue to be caused by something unrelated to sleep apnea or the airway. Thanks Pugsy, I'm well aware that apnea may not be the only cause. And I did talk to my doctor more than once, even before I got my AirSens...

Re: ASV side effects

what should I do to make the ASV work? https://i.imgur.com/5IMIBQ6.jpg That's definitely the insightful and informative input I was looking for, thank you! It comes rich from someone whose very first post on a CPAP forum was "Have you tried throwing the CPAP out the window and seeing how that works...

WalMart oximeters aren't accurate.
That's why I bought three from different vendors: Emay, Circul and Wellu O2Ring to compare and average. And barring motion and calibration errors, measurements from all three align.

Re: ASV side effects

Because the ASV *NEVER* flags CAs, if it's working properly, you can't have a CA, that's it's whole job, to breathe for you (through high PS) when you don't. It doesn't matter if it flags them or not. What matters is the ASV eliminated those pauses in the breathing waveform that were definitely pre...

Re: ASV side effects

But anyway, during those moments on Autosense, whether those were true CA's or OA's in disguise, I wasn't breathing, my oxygen dropped... Do you have Autosense SleepHQ data with the O2 sat included? Yes, by May I figured out which O2 sensor I needed in order to sync with SleepHQ. E.g: May 4 , May 8...

Re: ASV side effects

Taking any meds? Have you had regular lab work done recently to look for other issues? If I don't feel sleepy by 10pm, I sometimes take melatonin (3-5mg). Nothing heavy. I did the annual physical a few months ago. Nothing to write home about. OK, cholesterol could be lower. Other than that - everyt...

Re: ASV side effects

Actual CAs emerge out of the blue. Your brain stops telling you to take a breath. The CAs in the AutoSet night had irregular breathing or OAs (and the resulting irregular breathing when you woke) right before them. So they’re false positives. How do you spot a false positive? The are OAs but most o...
