Re: Mandibular advancement device & data

Thanks! Yes, doc gave a boil and bite de-advance device. And mentioned about 10k times that I need to wear it every morning - even if I didn't use MAD for the whole night. BTW, my device is this one https://somnomed.com/en/patients/products/somnodent/herbst-advance-elite/ Not sure if it's any better...

Re: Mandibular advancement device & data

Wow, seems to be working! For the first time ever OA = 0.0!

And this was with 4 cmH2O, so would say that MAD did the work here.

CA events looked similar than with CPAP alone, i.e. some unsteady breaths before short break in breathing.

Re: Mandibular advancement device & data

Thanks for the fast reply! Yes - why not to run the machine! How I didn't come to think of that... Perhaps I did mention the brain fog :-) Sleep study AHI was 28, but I didn't sleep much during the study and it was noted that the real AHI is likely worse. My apnea is clearly structural - BMI is in '...

Mandibular advancement device & data

Hi, I've suffered from aerophagia with CPAP and now got mandibular advancement device. But being spoiled by Oscar and the data availability, I'm at loss - is it working?!? Positive signs: - Wellue Oximeter data doesn't show big drops - I was dreaming last night (didn't happen before starting CPAP) N...

Getting started with CPAP - what I learned from my first 6 months

Here are my key takeaways in somewhat priority order. It’s also a list of things I wish I knew before I started. In my first six months, I went from AHI of 19 to zero point something. 1. myAir score doesn't mean anything (beyond fulfilling your compliance period). Following the score can actually be...

Re: Suggestions from my waveforms.

Thanks! Uuh, zoomed in, the flow rate doesn't seem regular for long periods of time - there are irregular sections even with CA flags - with this it indeed seems I don't get much of good quality sleep. FitBit reports 20-30min on REM/Deep Sleep per night for most of the nights, so that might be accur...

Re: Suggestions from my waveforms.

Thanks for the reply! I don't feel like I'm waking up several times. Just to help me to understand the data better: what in the graphs show that I'm waking up? If I would need to guess the reason it would be uncomfortability with the CPAP equipment; mask, tubing and airflow in particular. I have Fit...

Re: Suggestions from my waveforms.

Oh, I tried to attach the images, but apparently that failed (quota full).

Suggestions from my waveforms.

Hi, I've suffered from bad sleep (insomnia), brain fog, (according to doctors: related) memory issues for a some while (years). I also have severe bruxism, so need to wear dental night guards. After 'failing' my first sleep study (slept less than 40minutes) on my second try, I finally got diagnosed ...
