Have any of your doctors mentioned Atrial Fibrillation when discussing your heart rhythm issues? I see that you are taking Warfarin and Bisoprolol and these are often prescribed for AF. Certainly OSA and AF are connected and PAP can help in this regard. No...not AF. The warfarin was for two blood c...

Sounds like most of us... some of whom had much lower sats. That's why I'm so freaked out. My doctors are trying to tell me that my issues are all explained by sleep apnea but I've seen so many people with far worse apnea that didn't have a fraction of the number of issues I have had...which is why...

Gary - for starters you seem to have removed your own ref to organ failure in your first note... FWIW, having worked in teaching hospitals all my life, when doctors talk about organ failure they're referring to patients who are close to death from organs shutting down in sequence within a few days ...
