Acid Reflux
subclinical hyperthyroidism (right on the borderline in the TSH test)
OSA (healthy normal weight)

CMS 50D+ : I just got this on the advice from everybody in this forum. It's only $70ish and its got overnight recording capability. Everyday I wake up...sync my SD card with sleepyhead...then upload my oximeter data into SPO2 review and see how the night went. It's pretty simple.

I also am not overweight, don't snore, and have acid reflux (probably gerd...never got diagnosed)...and I'm young. I can remember dreaming of kicking in my sleep and waking up from feeling like I jerked in my sleep. Also sleepy but didn't realize I was sleep deprived at all because how active I was....

another young gal with apnea...I'm 25 and was diagnosed a year ago and I'm healthy weight. I have Obstructive sleep apnea and some Centrals. With my machine (s9), I only have a few centrals per night. AHI less than 1.0.

5'4"/111 after gaining 5-6# from 5 months on CPAP. Severe OSA creates a hyper-metabolic state. Now I know why for years, I could eat anything I wanted and weigh so little. Initially, I attributed the low weight to competitive running. Does anyone else have a similar experience? In response to the ab...

Well, I haven't got the chance to pick up my second results. However, I bought an oximeter and measured my own data. I'm not really concerned anymore. My oxygen levels were 95% the majority of time and did not ever go below 90s. They were usually around 95-98. Good news. I guess my only comment is t...

No shortness of breath then. Thanks. I think I'm just going to get the final oximeter test from the doctor on monday and see what it looked like and get my own pulse ox. That way I'll know for sure for the long haul.

I'll let everybody know what those results said then.

Division I Soccer. And i was the best in shape of everone during my career. I also ran x-country and high school.

Anyone is open to comment please!

Jamiswolf, My aunt has an oximeter for spot checking. The only time I've checked it, it was above 97% or something like that. It was pretty high. I haven't ever really checked it during the day on my own. No shortness of breath (what would that feel like exactly?). In general I breath pretty slow. Q...

Here's my resmed data from the first oximetry test to see how well the cpap was working. Keep in mind, my results for the oximetry showed "excess artifacts" but that I qualified for oxygen. I'm waiting to get my results from the study where I didn't go under 88%. That night I taped the pulse oximete...

Thanks for all the responses. I'll work on getting that information together and downloading sleepyhead. And see if I can scan the info into my computer. Probably take till next week. I'll re-post then for more info. sometime next week.

jamiswolf Thanks so much for your feedback! To clarify, the 70% desat was before my cpap treatment during my original overnight sleep study. That's when they said I have mild/moderate sleep apnea. I don't have the oximetry data for the last two oximeter studies, but I do have the original sleep stud...

I'm not positive who called. I just know it wasn't the people I got the study with. I think it was the oximetry company.

To whom it may concern: Background: I am a 25 year-old female. Very healthy and even underweight by BMI. Division I athlete in College. Diagnosed with OSA in June 2011 and started a RESMED s9 Autoset in June. Nurse practicioner said I probably have it because I have a small mouth and a big tongue. M...
