Re: Oxygen Level Dropping During REM to low 80's

First, thanks to everyone that responded. I really appreciate the detailed feedback. I've attached last nights info and my AHI was down to 1.83 and my oxygen only dropped to 87%. (according to watch) We had storms/tornado watch's so my sleep was interrupted. https://www.screencast.com/t/L5IBRY0aQC @...

Re: Oxygen Level Dropping During REM to low 80's

I'm trying to figure out what's happening with the leaking. I've tried different masks and I feel the current one is really snug. In fact, I think this it is probably the best fit I've ever had while using a Cpap. I get a green mark every morning on mask seal, but I realize that's not the entire sto...

Oxygen Level Dropping During REM to low 80's

I was able to start tracking my Oxygen levels using a new Samsung watch and it's showing my Oxygen level is dropping to 82%-84% typically twice a night during longer stages of REM. I'm scheduling an appointment with Dr and have adjusted pressure levels higher and narrower on my Cpap, but wondering i...

Re: Newbie- Could the machine be the problem?

Thanks for the suggestions. I went with 6-9 last night and while I still initially woke up after 3 hours, I was still able to get two good stretches of sleep and felt better than I ever have since I've been using the machine. (AHI 0.29) I did want to ask about the RERA number. As I understand from t...

Re: Newbie- Could the machine be the problem?

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try a slightly higher/tighter range tonight. In terms of the initial levels he prescribed, because I didn't have a full blown sleep study there wasn't really pressure/titration settings for him to reference so I think that's why he used the range he did. I have a fol...

Re: Newbie- Could the machine be the problem?

I couldn't get the scrolling window capture to work and fit all the charts on one screenshot, but let me know if you also need events or flow rate and I can take another capture. I've included two different days. The first is with the normal settings from the original prescription/SD card along with...

Newbie- Could the machine be the problem?

Quick synopsis- Been using a REMstar Auto A-Flex for a couple of weeks. The first week report showed pretty good results/numbers, (AHI- 3- Originally 21) but I was waking up every 2-3 hours. It seems when the pressure starts ramping up it doesn't stop until it wakes me up. I understand from reading ...
