today also had a blip of a high heart rate (around 5:14) and this was captured on OSCAR. no blockages/apneas but increase in flowrate and mask pressure and leak rate....everything else flat. odd no? i can't figure out if the high heart rate spike is from the CPAP machine or my heart, a dream... and ...

a long time, at least 10 years now

hi, i have an apple watch and it showed i had an elevated heart rate of 85-118bpm (normally i'm at 50-60 at night) starting at 7:21am - 7:45am - yes i was sleeping. 7:49am is when my bpm heart rate returned to normal. looks like i had events during this time, a mix of OA and CA, but mostly CA. any s...

thanks everyone for all your info and suggestions.

since lowering the EPR i now got this for last night.

its been awhile since i've had a night under 1.0 AHI...

last nights OSCAR....much much better. but like i said before the CSR comes randomly. but hoping the EPR setting helps in the long run. also used flonase before bed, def helped. i may continue that at night we'll see.

Thanks again Pugsy

Thanks again for that info, I did have an echo cardiogram last Nov and it was normal. Also thanks for sharing your story and info, it def has put me at ease, today was the first time I tried out OSCAR and was shocked to see what it showed. but at least i know and now my sleep dr and cardiologist kno...

pugsy, thanks for all the info, i really appreciate it. what i'm wondering is since CSR is present, does that automatically mean I have heart failure? because based on the articles i've been reading it seems that a present of CSR may indicate heart failure. granted, i don't have HF symptoms, but I w...

Thanks Pugsy, thankfully so far this isn't happening every night.. I msged my Dr. about it, they said the only way to be sure is to do an in-house study. I don't exhibit heart failure symptoms thou. so thats the good news. I will tweek the EPR setting to 1 as suggested by someone and see if helps......

thanks zonker,

Hi Pugsy, i'm on a low dose of beta blockers, but thats it. i'm pretty sure i was asleep..

if it is truely CSR would it be more frequesnt? I've seen this pattern 3 times this month. for about the same time frame 20mins. Also i've seen it in oct and dec 1 or 2 times.

thanks!

Hi zonker,

thanks for the reply, why do you think its not CSR, it looks like the pattern. I most likely was asleep during that time...

new to OSCAR. looks like I have CSR....
freaking out sorta. looks like i get this 2 - 3 times a month. so its not consistent.

not sure if anyone has CSR but I'm wondering what this all means, and what I can do.

thanks for any experiences or suggestions.
