A dry mouth is often a sign of leaking. And if airflow is heard but not inhaled, it's also probably a sign of leaking. What do your Oscar / SleepHQ charts show? And what type of mask are you using?

That's a huge improvement, and I hope it is sustainable, not just a one-off. So please let us know how it goes over a period of time. Even though you have some periodic breathing, it's not prolonged enough to be a worry. The main question now is whether you can feel any difference? Do you feel more ...

Enough with the comments about comments and the trash talk and slurs. Get on topic or STFU. Agreed. So today I got my sleep test back and it was extremely bad. Didn't have a chance to talk with my ENT. I am meeting with him Friday. However I WAS quoted $1300 by his staff and I CAN get a brand new u...

The doc I am currently seeing claims a cystoscopy w/ out meds (he puts his patients under) is barbaric. I wonder who's making the most money here? I had a cytoscopy a few years ago - no general anaesthetic, just local applied as a gel on the device. It was quite comfortable and no additional meds w...

F9 on my keyboard just closes the window. I'm on a Mac.

Try using the menu item View | Daily Calendar.

G'day Linsday. Yes, that definitely looks like genuine central apnea and CSR. Off to the doctor you go - this needs to be sorted. In the meantime, you could try adjusting the pressure - as a first guess, I'd set the machine to CPAP mode (not automatic) with a fixed pressure of 7.0 , and turn EPR off...

Physically moving or not moving has nothing to do with the machine recording. Quite so. There's no need to lie perfectly still. It's not natural, and will disturb your sleep - but the machine can't tell the difference. This is further complicated, if the time/date/am-pm is incorrect on your machine...

Getting back to the original question... Oscar is indeed open source, but if you download from the official Oscar site, you will get the genuine article. Oscar has been developed (from an earlier program called Sleepyhead) by a group of programmers who also happen to be apneacs. I've been using Osca...

Do you specifically need v1.8? Apneaboard have v2.24 available for download. You need to have an account (free) and be logged in to access their software page.

It actually was very serious and I came within a hair of getting a transfusion. Not good! I had a GI bleed a couple of years ago and ended up getting two blood transfusions and an iron infusion. Plus a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. It took a while to get over it, so take it easy and don't push yours...

So did this expert doctor offer any alternative treatment? Let me guess - surgery that will cost thousands? Your SleepHQ chart looks pretty normal, especially for only your second night. I notice that each of the O2 drops corresponds with a movement, suggesting that the ring momentarily lost contact...

G'day John

It's not sold by that name in Australia, but one of the Lumis models would be closest. Have a look at this page (scroll down to Bilevel): https://www.resmed.com.au/healthcare-pr ... ts/devices

Quite apart from the service fees, both quotes seem to include items you wouldn't normally need, but are probably high margin items designed to inflate the vendor's profit. Eg in the first quote the allow for a machine including heated hose, plus $70 for a heated hose (presumably a spare). Likewise ...

While not discounting what your doctor said, it is quite common for air to blow up the side of your nose into your eyes (externally). Some masks are worse than others in this respect - I found the F&P Evora eliminates the problem, though it does introduce some others. For a more conventional mask li...
