Re: Flow Limit/Flow Rate Help

I was experimenting with 2 different masks f30i and f20 airfit... I kinda like f30i more since it blows air directly into my nostrils making me breathe through my nose more, but once it moves its leaking is waking me up nasty blowing the air into my eyes, I wake up in panic... With f20 I breathe mor...

Re: Flow Limit/Flow Rate Help

So this was my Oximetry Summary while doing the initial Sleep Test. The HR graphs aren't that visible though: http://i.imgur.com/gSqGylrl.jpg And this is the last years 24h heart holter monitor results. I decided to go to check the heart because I had a very stressful period at the time, and I felt ...

Re: Flow Limit/Flow Rate Help

The not so ugly one isn't real pretty though. :lol: :lol: I understand. Thank you Pugsy and dataq1. I'll try to find my sleep screening results that I did with my cardiologist while diagnosing my sleep apnea, I think I saw the pulse swings there as well, but she was mainly concerned with my saturat...

Re: Flow Limit/Flow Rate Help

A question, does this first graph looks abnormal as well, or is it just the second graph with the rate of 150, I may messed up the ring placement or something on that one. Well.....it doesn't look as abnormal as the second one but it sure isn't totally normal either. You should always include the i...

Re: Flow Limit/Flow Rate Help

So hello once again ! I obtained the O2ring to check my saturation levels etc... And this is what happens,my saturation levels are fine, but I am really concerned with this 150 pulse rate in my afternoon nap, is that normal ? Also, on the longer graph there is a pulse spike right when I woke up, I u...

Re: Flow Limit/Flow Rate Help

Bystander here. My impression is that the only leaks you really need to worry about are the ones that wake you up or keep you awake. I'm also suspecting that raising your minimum is not strongly correlated with a reduction in flow limitations. But there's no harm in continuing to raise the minimum ...

How are you feeling?
I feel better today, didn't have nausea when I woke up, but that could be addressed to having a bit longer than usual sleep.

Thanks

Re: Flow Limit/Flow Rate Help

Hello, dataq1 didn't give me any advice on adjusting therapy or similar, therefore none of the hopefully future advice that any board member would give me wouldn't contradict what dataq1 wrote to me. I would love to hear from fellow experienced cpap users what can be improved and if my flow limitati...
