Re: Yet Another Attempt
I'm glad to hear you've had some promising signs. I look forward to seeing the next chart at your new settings.

Re: Yet Another Attempt
What I hoped would come along soon was a chart showing some actual sleep. I'm a little skeptical that you were actually asleep right before the end of the 11-minute snippet. At any rate, right before the end I don't see anything in the graphs that could explain the sudden onset of anxiety/claustroph...

Re: Yet Another Attempt
I'm glad you're now getting all your Oscar data from the card. In this short snippet we can see that you paused your breathing for 14 seconds after inhaling a little more deeply for several breaths; then after the pause you caught up with more deep breathing. Am I right in guessing you were awake th...

Re: Yet Another Attempt
I'm glad to hear that Oscar now gets all the data from your SD card. Do try using the machine at night sometime soon. With any luck, you'll get in some sleep and we can try to see what's going on when you wake up needing to remove the mask.

Re: Yet Another Attempt
That's it. Make a middleman with the same useless data, in order to achieve what exactly? There were no events. Useless project. SleepHQ needs the data as well. It doesn't magically post itself. Maybe you signed up for the auto data, but I don't like sharing my health information with companies. Th...

Re: Yet Another Attempt
daBee, thanks for posting what you have available from Oscar. Unfortunately all it is showing are your summary data. I'm not sure why that is, but do make sure you have the SD card well-seated in the slot when you return it to the machine. And thanks for saying more about what you are experiencing w...

Re: Yet Another Attempt
It would help a lot to understand more about what makes you take the mask off. You say the mask isn't really the problem; instead "I just get claustrophobic from breathing rate." Can you say more about what the feeling you get is like? For example, do you wake up and start breathing faster and then ...

Re: What makes a machine say CA (central apnea / clear airway)?
I'm really not sure why you're worried about this or trying the things you're trying. But to emulate a CA, I think you want to exhale and then pause for at least 10 seconds before you inhale.

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request
You might try playing around with your humidity level. Some stuff noses want more; some want less. Just so you know, the link you provided earlier isn't showing recent charts. Like you, I sometimes am surprised to find that if I have a drink or two I sleep more soundly. But I also found that even mo...

Re: Help please
Ozij, I'm glad you noticed this, which I didn't. It may be that higher EPR helps, but the evidence we have doesn't help us reach any conclusions about this.

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request
Your OAs still look as though a number of them come after arousal breathing. I'm not sure quite what to make of this, especially in relation to advice about your settings. Does anyone else have thoughts about this? More generally, last night your first couple of hours look pretty peaceful, but then ...

Re: Help please
I agree with the advice that ozij has given you. I also note that your FLs improved when you raised your EPR from 1 to 3, so that pressure differential is helpful to you. Your FLs are quite heavy, even with EPR of 3. Do you have a stuffy nose? If not, I think you'd be a good candidate for a bilevel ...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request
Yes, that link works; thanks. I'm not convinced you're fully asleep during all those OAs; many of them are preceded by what looks like arousal breathing. Be that as it may, I have two thoughts about what you might try. First, there's some clustering of OAs, which suggests you may be tucking your chi...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request
Well, travel is always unpredictable. I've had amazingly good nights in hotels and amazingly bad ones. I'm glad that on the whole you're doing well.
For some reason the link isn't working; it just takes me to a request that I sign in.

Re: Minimum pressure too low and causing microarousals?
The variability could reflect periods of REM sleep. Hard to know. I basically agree with LSAT, though you might try some EPR to see whether that helps reduce flow limitations. I would leave your pressure settings right where they are and try EPR of 1 to start with. FLs may or may not affect the qual...
