The problem is, even though I have low apnea occurrences at night, those apneas disturb my sleeping during REM sleep, which triggers parasomnias (Seizures, s...

This is rarely necessary.

Also, it's neither correct nor nice to shout this at newbies struggling with sleep problems and CPAP therapy.
I appreciate that, but unfortunately in my case, sleeping on my back complicates is a culprit of my condition so i have to stay on my side

Re: cpap data: low number apneas, but large number of hypopneas

My recommendation would be to bump your pressure up 1 cm. to 9 cm. for awhile and see how that looks. Den . only my doctor can do this? my last doctor gave me the cpap, i no longer see him, i wonder if my new one can make the adjustment. why do you feel i should bump it up a notch?

Re: cpap data: low number apneas, but large number of hypopneas

Click on the "Details" tab on the left and not the "Events" tab. Hide the calendar so we can see the statistics details. That events tab doesn't help much. Include these only on the right side.

Leaks, Pressure, Summary Data would help, too.

But, I don't see much to worry about in that report.

Re: cpap data: low number apneas, but large number of hypopneas

Cause for concern? I understand that AHI is a weighted score, but the number of hypopneas happening has me alarmed.. Also, I realize that an AHI score within this range considered mild compared to others with scores of 50 AHI.. but it has triggered parasomnias and seizures, so it's something that I...

Re: Oxygen issues not just when Im asleep but when awake as well

Let me try to put your mind more at ease. Those type of devices measure oxygen levels by reading blood flow through your finger. Therefore, the only thing that it is measuring is the level of oxygen that is currently circulating through that particular finger. Anything at all, from a clot, through ...
