It’s no wonder cpap compliance is so liw
No matter how many problems I solve, more problems pop up and make it impossible to use cpap. I hate this thing. I think the best solution is to sleep on my side with a pillow blocking me from rolling over. My sleep study said it is positional, that I had no event on my side.

Re: Oscar software nightmare
Yes, I was showing them the piece you pull out at Best Buy. I realize now I need a standard sd reader and an sd memory card. And an adapter to plug the sd card into my pc.

Re: Periodic breathing
Ok, thanks. It says 1% last night and 13% for three day average but I cannot upload Oscar data to my pc because Bluetooth won’t work and bestbuy says there’s no way to connect it.

Oscar software nightmare
How do I upload the data to my computer?
It won’t show up on my laptop as a blue tooth device, they don’t have a usb reader at any store that will fit this.
And the Portal at my respironics is down.

Does having 1% periodic breathing equal Cheney stokes?
