???

Blood components are measured by blood tests, not Cpap!

Sorry you did not understand the question. I was looking for cause, not results!

Low Oxygen Levels

Based on the chart posted does anyone see why I might have low oxygen levels, or high hemacrit & hemaglobin levels?

Thanks!

Re: Brain Fog & Tired

I've taken 600mg of Gabapentin for RLS for about 2 years around 8:30 PM. &100mg of Synthroid @ 6Am. I don't drink, or smoke.

Re: Brain Fog & Tired

Thanks. I'll go to PS4. My sleep study revealed moderate OSA back in August '19. That said are the CA's or VS2 important?

I haven't posted since Dec. but I still have a little brain fog unless my AHI is below 3.
I posted 2 graphs because I don't understand why with same settings they would be so different.

Thanks!

Re: Pressure Settings

I really appreciate that statement about the zero and feeling better. Feeling better did go along with those numbers, although I really don't expect zero everynight! :D

Re: Pressure Settings

I'm goint to try a little more Epap & PS increase. The aerophagia doesn't bother me unless I'm up around 11 Epap + 4 MinPS.
I had a Doctor appointment today and the dizzyness was caused by bronchitis, which is being treated now. He also checked my Eustachian tubes, which are clear. :D

Re: Pressure Settings

Thanks for all the information. I'll try raising my epap pressure a bit with a little more ps. Is my dizzyness caused by my treatment settings?

Re: Pressure Settings

Here is a new graph, plus a close up of Flow Rate. I'm sleeping ok, but I'm waking up dizzy and it lasts most of the day. The Aerophagia is gone with lower settings but my pressure readings seem less choppy with a slightly higher pressure.

Re: Pressure Settings

The 1st break was my kitty woke me, second was to pee, and the third was to take a thyroid pill. Kitty waking me doesn't always happen, but the other two do every night. The aerophagia was almost non existent!

Slept pretty good, although I usually have a little brain fog in the morning. Thanks for the advice on the graph. :D
