Re: AHI <1 for months, but I'm still exhausted every day. What am I missing?

If someone could zoom in on my flow rates in the Oscar link that would be very helpful. I believe I may have UARS-type breathing but am not sure. I also highly suspect, as seen in my recordings, that many times my brain is waking me up as soon as a hypopnea/ apnea starts to form in many cases and so...

Re: Every day is like this. Still waking up exhausted despite low AHI. What am I missing?

Having any nasal congestion? Take any medications? If so, what? It would really help people help you if you would keep all your questions to one thread. We can't remember you past history and I know you have several posts about this problem and we have no idea what was talked about. You have someth...

AHI <1 for months, but I'm still exhausted every day. What am I missing?

Hi everyone, I've been using CPAP for several months now, and every day is pretty much like this. I'm still waking up tired with significant fatigue and brain fog. My AHI is usually below 1, leaks are generally low, and OSCAR doesn't report much flow limitation, but I don't feel refreshed at all. He...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

Since you’ve mentioned it a couple times, when you say OSA may not be the only problem, what kinds of things are you referring to? Circadian rhythm disorders? Sleep issues related to ADHD or even Type 1 Diabetes, despite sugars being well-controlled? All the other stuff that can mess with sleep. ht...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

So I looked at those documents and really all they do for me is make me wonder where they came up with their computations. None of that explains any possible reason for your current premature mask removal though at least to my mind. Your overall sleep efficiency was in the toilet for sure. Oxygen d...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

I don't feel well so it will have to be tomorrow before I try to make any sense of those documents and I will be honest....some of that stuff is above my pay grade and the one person who I trust to understand it hasn't been around much lately. But Ritalin is a likely culprit in some of your arousal...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

All those pics really come down to is "You have sleep apnea, and it's pretty bad". Your oxygen only went down to 93% which is not that bad. My AHI was only 3 but my oxygen dropped to 89%. But you have a pretty high amount of events caught in your study. Your original post's pic only shows half an h...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

The first one looks like another OA but the other two look like post arousal CA’s. Basically you “wake up”, breath deeper and then when you drift back to sleep you stop breathing so your co2 levels get back in sync. You do this while awake too you just don’t realize it. If you take a few deeper bre...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

Here is my Diagnosis study-
Note that it did not take me that long to fall asleep, I just had my lights off way later than they were supposed to be.

These are the last three screenshots of my titration study, I will be sending my diagnostic study now as well.
Thank you very much once again

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

You are zooming out way too much with your snippets. You need to be able to see more of what went on before. I disagree with the first example shown. I don't believe it is an OA...the 3 spikes in air flow immediate to the sort of flat line point to an arousal......so arousal came first then the mos...
