Hey all, last night I borrowed my O2ring to my cousin. Apparently she snores🙄 and had prior lung problems. Last night her onsite O2 was 97 but you can see her graph for last night performance. I wanted to ask your opinions, does she need sleep study....yada yada? Bear in mind, that graph's resolutio...

Ive been on cpap for 3 years now and out of nowhere my events per hour have jumped from under 5 to over 40!!! Anyone experience this? Also my brain feels physically tired.. Im worried. Well I don't know if it is relevant or not, I was the same as you, suddenly out of nowhere my AHI went up to 40s-5...

You are both responding to 10 yr old posts - why do I think the OP is now back from Afghanistan and onto better things?

Sorry, my bad. I just read the date of the last post and not all of it!!!!

Howdy, I changed my settings EPAP:9, IPAP:20, PS:6 and my AHI went down further. What is your choice decongetant? Normal saline solution for irrigation and i.e. Otrivin with moisturizer?

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and the support. One other piece of news that should bring interesting results for me... I'm also trying to quit smoking. Today was my first day, i'm not doing too bad right now, but as the saying goes, the day isn't over yet. David Howdy David, one word of ad...

It's surprising to me that you have no reported centrals at a PS of 9.

Well, just maybe because I'm such a nice and easygoing guy!!!

Do others also have day time readings on the lower range of normal due to prolonged sleep apnea ? Sleep apnea has nothing at all to do with daytime SpO2 levels, howdy, I beg to differ with you my friend. I have apnea for sure and before treatment I was sleepy during the day and my wake O2 stat was ...

I don't know why and I don't know how, but my AHI was caculated and displayed wrongly. These are the correct ones I presume. Also some more graphs.

Black Sheep, Just to be sure we have the full picture: are you in fact using an O2 bleed to get supplementary oxygen? Are you using an oximeter to see how your O2 levels are doing? And are you being treated for the PLMD? To answer your question, yes I used a climateline oxy tube to be able to use s...

Hi, for those interested these are my last night graphs. Hope you forgive my inexperience if you see any flaws.

My dear pals, I live in a place where having a fully equipped and clean sleep lab, a self-taught misley old E.N.T. doctor and a similar sleep-tech, paying their fee and also being able to buy a machine with a bank loan is a great blessing. No medicare and/or medicaid, everything comes out of my pock...

Because the machine is also set to auto adjust, move the pressures up and down as my needs change. The maximum IPAP it can achieve is 25. (The machine max) When I first turn the machine on, my pressures are, EPAP 8, IPAP 12. Let's say I roll on my back and the machine detects I need a CM more press...

Can it wait until morning?
Some of our wisest people have to sleep sometime.
I'm about to turn in myself.

Sorry, my bad. Will do better next time.

One of the most difficult adjustments for new CPAP users, especially those compromised breathing (COPD) is to exhale against the pressure. BiPAP, actually BiLevel is the proper name, is capable of delivering two distinct pressures. One for Inhalation , one for Expiration the difference between the ...

Howdy, till 6 years ago I was one of my late mum's caretakers. Now for about a month and a half I'm a user myself. I had a sleep lab polysomnography with these results AHI of 97.8 and lowest oxygen desaturation of 52%. My sleep doctor which is an ENT specialist with sleep study training diagnosed me...
