Oh that sounds very plausible.

Thanks, I have the cheap $15-20 oximeter (no recording) but it sounds like I'd probably need to invest in one that is more expensive ($100) for more accurate measurements.

Yeah, I'll still continue using it due to the potential complications in the future as I grow older. My current possible theory for the lower saturation is either a) Pinched nerve from mask potentially being too tight at the back of skull. b) My body being more relaxed and not pumping blood/oxygen a...

My o2 was pretty much 93%+ even before I got my CPAP. Doctor basically was surprised at my AHI considering my BMI is only 20, no history of drinking/smoking and 99% of the time normal o2 level when asleep. I guess it doesn't seem bad when there are moderate/extreme sleep apnea members here experienc...

I understand that anything above 90% is considered perfectly normal. My pre-treatment AHI was only around 9 so I don't get major desats. When I don't use CPAP, my measurement upon waking up is consistently 98. Whereas if I use CPAP, it'll be around 93-96 and then move towards 98 throughout the day. ...

Quit playing with your pressures...Set them at 10 min 20 max and let it ride for a couple weeks. The main thing is "how are you sleeping?' Is the mask comfortable? are leaks waking you up? My original AHI was around 9 to 10. The mask is fine and I don't really experience leaks any more. For the mos...

So while I'm waiting for official diagnosis, I've been using a self-bought APAP and messing around with the pressure settings for the last month. Initially I started off with pressures 4 to 6, 6 to 8, then 8 to 10 and finally setting on the 10 to 13 range. My AHI is pretty much always 2 to 3. I've n...
