Re: Sticky: Phillips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

Periodic breathing

What can periodic breathing indicate aside from heart failure? And could it be a false positive, what could cause a false positive? I have it at 2-3% over a period of months. My sleep study did not indicate cheney stokes or central apnea. Is a single sleep study conclusive? Please tell me what to po...

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.

Nightmare.

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. I will just call my doctor tomorrow. I have so many symptoms that match heart failure and the dream station is telling m...

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.

Periodic breathing

Does having 1% periodic breathing equal Cheney stokes?

They are NOT apneas that would have happened had the machine not been there to treat them.
I don’t understand exactly what that means.
