BlueDragon, Yes, on MACs you use finder instead of files but everyone should understand if you say go to the SD Card (disk, where ever) and look for.... Having been on Windows since it first came out (and DOS before that) and on a MAC for about 7 years, I don't even think about it, I just go to the ...

BlueDragon, I read your other reply and scanned this one. Yes my wife and I have two very different machines. Great care is taken each time we load data into Oscar to confirm what profile we are under as well as what machine the SD card says it was from (and the SD cards are different). Because we b...

I am seeing some very odd Oscar behavior - e.g. reduced types of event flags and the AHIs do not match what my machine is saying. Can someone please take a look at http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=181163&p=1381204#p1381204 = the posts I made today (Sun April 4th) to determine if this is a...

Ok. Looking generally at Oscar data: March 1st thru 22nd, 13 days over 3 (59%). Of those 13, 8 were 4s or 5s, one was 10.72. Got new mask, had a 16.38 and a 1.42 so considered that not any improvement. Changed min pressure setting to 8.5. AHIs 5 one night, 17 another (taken as no change). Changed mi...

Ok, my last "consider it solved" post was not accurate. The same PB and CA pattern came back a couple of days later just as strong. I used a Dreem 2 and could not figure out any patterns that matched sleep stage or sleep position. Next I tried a chin strap (I had used a nasal mask forever). It gave ...

Ok, that was the solution. I have lowered my testosterone at night only (I need the higher dosage but day time only is working well). Immediately that first night I got less CAs, 1 all night long vs a big block plus some other ones. My AHI dropped to low 3s. I still had a fair amount of periodic bre...

I did watch the last video on that link you listed (I saw you posted it on another thread). I will try and go back and look at other days to see if I am awake, but last night I only was for a couple minutes during the periodic breathing. It started at the end of REM sleep, it could be I had a distur...

Here is a good night.

Note: The 4th chart down is the Dreem sleep stages chart. (Same for the general chart pic in the first post).
-1 is awake,
-2 is REM sleep
-3 is light sleep
-4 is deep sleep

Here are dreem 2 videos of the night. They actually turned out pretty good. Starting just before the periodic breathing started: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q43u4ac0phlw24u/RPReplay_Final1610429029.MP4?dl=0 The entire night: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztngogfrbdnzj50/RPReplay_Final1610429089.MP4?dl=0 I...

Pugsy, thanks for looking at this. Here is my own thread. Medications... They have not changed in years. I take low doses of: Metrolopol (blood pressure), atorvastatin, enalapril, warfarin, allopurinol. I take supplements, again they have not changed in years. I have mild afib and trace Mitral valve...

FYI, OSCAR can import the Dreem 2 CSV files, and display the hypnogram. Slowwriter, I included the hypnogram from Dreem - in the top general picture of the chats. I wish the positions were also imported, but Dreem does not export that. I thought about putting in a screen shot of my phone, but that ...

Here is one more of the periodic breathing zoomed in.

The last 2 are showing the time just before a periodic period appears.

More charts attached.

This shows the patterns - zoomed in - of the PB & CAs.
NOTE: Next post I will include a couple charts that shows what happens right before the Periodic breathing starts.

I was asked to do a new thread for this / my issues. Here is is. I am here to figure out more about my periodic breathing as that seems to happen when I get a high AHI night. From other posts I have read, it looks like maybe Cheyne Stokes Respiration going on, connected to the periodic breathing. My...
