Re: AHI increase when taking Omega 3
Interesting reading this.... For so far unclear reason my AHI average over longer term went up by a few points as well. Mostly Hypopnea's went up. It is after a period of taking very strictly 2 Omega-3 pills a day to control my higher cholesterol. Hard to say that it's related for sure but there may...

Re: mask vent blowing keeps hubby awake....any tricks
It depends on the mask you have. I have a nasal mask and prefer the hose to come from above my head. It's a bit stuck between the head-board and the cushion. If you let the hose come from under the cushion more in the middle of the bed than above your head, the air blows to the side of the bed, not ...

Re: Shipping CPAP to Europe
No problems with ordering on-line in the USA. I sent them my scanned prescription (not even in English). Great service. On top of that a link for free download of the software to use on the PC. The prices are about 50% cheaper. I got hit with about a 20% import tax that I think was not justified on ...

Re: SleepyHead Qt v0.8 alpha
Keep in mind that AHI is just an indication. If I see that for 3 hours in a night I didn't have any event or I got a number of longer period without events, it means I had a good night as I didn't wake up often and probably went through most sleep stages. If there was an AHI of 8 that night, it was ...

Re: SleepyHead Qt v0.8 alpha
Hi Mark, Just moved from 0.8.5 to 0.8.7. Looks good !. Excellent job. Crashes from daily view to overview (after download) are gone. More features (I like the setting for mask leakage). Export function is great. I still keep track of each night in an excel sheet with nice graphs but I copy the data ...

Re: High AHI without SPO2 drops
More good feedback. Thanks. Good point on the duration. Looking at the waveforms, most apneas are short or in most cases, CA's like H events, just shallow breathing or missing a single breath. These would not cause a desaturation. Never more than 10-20 sec. Heartbeat stays consistently low most of t...

Re: High AHI without SPO2 drops
RobySue, Thanks for the detailed reply. Very much appreciated. The cardiologist ignored the CSR related issues as I'm in my 30's, Play sports a few hours a week and am able to swim 100 laps in an hour. In his opinion there can't be a heart problem. The sleepdoc I don't trust due to his carelessness ...

Re: SleepyHead Qt v0.8 alpha
I appreciate the effort. Would love to have a decent Linux client.
I'm running the regular 32 bit version. Good enough for me on an old laptop.
I will download a new update via git now and then.

Re: SleepyHead Qt v0.8 alpha
Mark, I did a "git pull" today to get the latest. Called the 2 make commands. It nicely asked me for deleting old data. Reloaded all data. However, when I clicked in the daily view, to zoom in, it crashed with a black screen in my Ubuntu 11.04 install. Only option was a powercycle. One more question...

Re: High AHI without SPO2 drops
Mars, thanks for your feedback. My API reaches an average over 7 days between 5 and 8. Some better nights and some worse of course. During my initial sleepstudy SPO2 went down to 70% with an average AHI of 30. Results are there for sure. I have my doubts if the APAP device correctly detects some eve...

Re: High AHI without SPO2 drops
No worries, most of the time your sleep doctor takes care of this stuff.
I'm sure thought that some people know pretty well what this is about.

High AHI without SPO2 drops
Hi all, Reading here for a while. As I'm rather into self-titration, mostly due to the lack of specialist in the neighborhood, I'm following my progress carefully. I decided to get a SPO2 logger (CMS-50E). Mostly to check if the events logged by the Respironics APAP actually lead to drops in SPO2 le...

Re: SleepyHead Qt v0.8 alpha
Amazing speed of updates !. Just downloaded this latest. I ran into the following issues: - There is a need to delete the existing database in the my Documents folder as the data seems incorrect. All past data needs to be read again. - If I ran it before downloading all data again, it didn't crash b...

Re: SleepyHead Qt v0.8 alpha
Very happy to see this software. Impressed with so much functionality, so easily accessible without all the functions for medical staff. For many months I put my sleep data into a spreadsheet so I could access the data in a way I preferred. I know it's in development. I guess some comments / room fo...
