Ever heard of a 'search engine'?
You could try to be kind at least some of the time.
so kind of you to answer the question.
I certainly would answer, if southerndoc had not so graciously done so already.

Re: Bradycardia 29

Bradycardia can be sinus bradycardia if a result of hypoxemia. If her oxygen saturation dropped pretty low, that would be a cause. However, you didn't mention that it did. If it was only brief (<10-15 seconds) it may also have been an erroneous reading (i.e., sensor not picking up well). At any rat...

Re: small bottles of distilled water on Amazon - anyone tried them?

The question I asked is whether anyone had tried them. If you have not, kindly refrain from replying. I am well aware that many will reject the premise of this product. I'm also well aware that many entertain themselves by posting without regard to whether their post is helpful or on point. This was...

Re: small bottles of distilled water on Amazon - anyone tried them?

Thank you, I have read this sticky already. A careful reading of what I asked will show that the question I raise is not covered there. It is indirectly. You ask about sending distilled water to a hotel and the thread says it is fine to use tap water. Why buy something you don’t need? You can’t tak...

Re: small bottles of distilled water on Amazon - anyone tried them?

[/quote] So, what did they stick you for? My home distiller makes about 2 gallons for 25 cents, and I no longer travel by air, so I can carry DW anywhere. You pay what it's worth to YOU. Others may not agree--or be nice. I haven't purchased yet. I wanted to see if others have tried it and if they ha...

Re: small bottles of distilled water on Amazon - anyone tried them?

I see that Amazon is selling small bottles (12-16.9oz) of distilled water. Has anyone tried them? What did you think? They seem to have potential for shipping direct to a hotel for travel. There's a premium to the price compared to buying gallons of course, but it doesn't seem unreasonable for the ...

Re: wisdom tooth extraction sinus perforation can wear cpap or not.

I think you have a really good question there, and I'd recommend talking asap with your ENT or sleep doc, or, in a pinch, your primary care physician. My quick cruise via google suggests that patients with perforations are supposed to avoid blowing their noses, sneezing, and coughing. I would thus ...

Re: Bradycardia 29

but maybe the teledoc is being cautious for good reason. I assume the caution - and the care given - are legitimate and intended to provide her the best possible outcome. But I also suspect that this assessment was made without regard for available funds. So while the best care may be something oth...

Re: Bradycardia 29

?? Where did you see T90 in this thread? No idea what it is either. It is listed on the sleep study report, in the SPO2 section. I have otherwise not seen it on the thread. I found this definition for T90. If others can expand or add to it that would be great. T90..."is the number of minutes during...

Re: Bradycardia 29

True and if you can use Encore you will have enough information to monitor things well enough. I didn't mention it because I didn't know if you still had the card reader or not....those things are really hard to find and of course critical to using Encore. Do I have it? I am certain I do. Can I fin...

Please be aware that the Respironics M series machines are NOT compatible with OSCAR.
You do have some limited data on the M series LCD screen but no where near what OSCAR can show.
Encore Plus shows a fair bit. Not as much as OSCAR, but there's some data there.

A HR of 29 is concerning. Heart rates that low are rarely sinus rhythms. Usually they're high-grade AV blocks requiring a pacemaker.
Noted. I am not sure she is in a position to pursue it very far due to cost. But I will try to make the point.
