I wouldn't be so sure about any pulse-oximeters.

FDA warns about limitations and accuracy of pulse oximeters - https://www.fda.gov/news-events/fda-bri ... -oximeters

You can't determine your optimal CPAP pressure from those numbers, and certainly not if you base them on a single night's data. That's what I was leading up to. As for our doubt, I think is better a more knowledge member try to explain it to us, as I'm not sure if a have the answer anymore. The ans...

The answer is the pressure in the display screen, just set the full information to display when you turn on the machine, it doesn't need to go to the clinics options, if you are in doubt, read the clinicians manual. That's not the question I am asking. You said, I'm using the APAP mode and want to ...

When you turn on the machine your pressure settings will show on the screen.

Thanks

I think I have my answer

Cheers

Clue me in to the answer.

In a clinical study, Apple validated that all of the people who received sleep apnea notifications from the watch did indeed get at least mild sleep apnea diagnoses. https://www.wellandgood.com/apple-watch-sleep-apnea/ It would be great if more people would use it to get sleep tests. After saying I...

Teaching government especially, I never interject my own views in the classroom and allow all viewpoints to be considered while I make it mandatory that every student's views are respected. I taught economics at a local college for a while after retirement. During discussions, some of the students ...

About six months back, I noticed something that continues. When I start a brisk walk, my chest feels tight. After I walk for about 10 minutes, I have a small burp. Within a few more minutes, I have a moderate burp. It feels like there is more air in my chest. It feels like I need a couple of deep bu...

But, in my experience the random readings are not always accurate by a long shot. For example, my AW 6 (the same model used in the studies cited) recorded O2 sats down to 84% during sleep (using CPAP on my usual settings). The recording pulse oximeter had me well into the 90's, no desats. Both reco...

Does anyone use these smart watches for the blood oxygen and ecg and are they worth the cost ? My answer is to different questions than what you are asking. First, I won't bore you with any detail about how I ended up with an Apple Watch that I never wanted. But, I did, and I reluctantly started us...

fwiw - When donating blood yesterday the tech tells me that taking magnesium before bedtime is supposed to help lower blood pressure. And you believed her? BONUS MYTH: 11) Health care providers give magnesium sulfate to decrease my blood pressure. False. This myth persists even among health care pr...

And I hadn't been back since Tgiving.

Thanks for the help, Zonker, but I don't have leg cramps when not using magnesium.

Seeing some good testimonials here for magnesium supplements, I took 250 mg at breakfast for six days. By the second day, I started having nighttime leg cramps. These continued through day six. I have skipped the magnesium for three days now. I didn't have leg cramps on any of these three nights. So...

Finally I have someone who is going to at least get me into a sleep study at a clinic in a few weeks.

Have you had the sleep lab study yet?

stop using your home machine a week or two in advance of the test.

I fume each time this advice comes up. A week without would kill me. One night without is disastrous. At my age, I am not as resilient as a younger person. Two nights would probably kill me.
