Re: Dental Device... EMA or Dorsal?

Pulse rate spikes show up as pulse rate events. It looks like sleepyheads default for flagging pulse events is 5bpm diff in 8 seconds... either 1. that's a completely unreasonable default setting... 2. my pulse is crazy... 3. my pulse ox device is crap (CMS50D) By that criteria i have like 50+ puls...

Re: Dental Device... EMA or Dorsal?

Thanks... I have 2-3 weeks of ox data with a home pulse oximeter, and about half of that with a CPAP.... Both with and without CPAP I am not really dipping below 90... It feels like to me my blood ox is the MOST important number... Hyponeas or Apnea's and the count of these seems like a secondairy m...

Dental Device... EMA or Dorsal?

Anyone have any strong feelings between EMA or Dorsal Dental Devices? From what the dentist said they normally recommend Dorsal for men.

Re: Started CPAP - now I am more tired...

I am curious if people think this is a valid o2 drop or not... there is clearly a few second gap in readings just before the first drop... which often results I know in my o2 sensor reading lower o2 than real for 15 seconds... but it does read lower o2 for a full minute... then there is another 30-...

Re: Started CPAP - now I am more tired...

Don't hate me I am NOT giving up on CPAP... but by early last evening I was all tired and fatigued again, nearly falling asleep trying to read something... While I excersied I yawned like 15 times, when I normally never yawned before CPAP. I decided I needed a few days without CPAP, so I could see w...

Re: Started CPAP - now I am more tired...

Thanks! Felt a bit tired this morning, but not overly fatigued in general so I guess all in all on the better half atleast. Will stick with these settings for a while and see how it goes.
