Re: Looking for Advice

Just to put your O2 desats in perspective, here's one of mine before CPAP. Thanks for sharing! This does help put things into perspective, which I honestly don't have a lot of when it comes to this kind of thing, so it helps. How do your results look now that you are on CPAP and were you/are you on...

Re: Looking for Advice

Thank you for ...

Re: Looking for Advice

PS....I just looked at your pulse ox reports again...all those dips look like loss of contact artifacts to me. If it were my report I would shrug my shoulders and move on. I thought that might be the case as well, at first, but SpO2 drops happen on the regular for me; the spikier graphs were just r...

Re: Looking for Advice

Your low numbers on the pulse oximeter seem to be very short spikes, with average spO2 of 97% and healthy resting heart rate I would not overly worry about that too much. Looks to me like most of the low O2 drops followed the short spike in heart rate which wonder you moved around, had a bad dream ...

Re: Looking for Advice

Thanks for your reply, Pugsy. I guess I'm just looking for recommendations based on my data. Are my settings looking like they are doing their job from a general standpoint, or should I change things up? That sort of thing. I wake up a few times each night, either from discomfort from the mask, leak...

Looking for Advice

Hi All, I've been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea and am looking for some advice from others on my data. OSCAR CPAP graphs and some graphs from the pulse oximeter I own (Wellue O2Ring) are included below. Here's a little about me: I'm a Southern Californian expat living in Yokohama, Japa...
