Re: Help with OSCAR flow rate/limitation

I think micro-arousals are what I should be focusing on but I have no way to measure them, it would be interesting to see how many I have now. Actually you do sort of have a way to look for micro arousals. Manually count them. Fairly easy to spot on the flow rate. Don't zoom in quite so much on eac...

Re: Help with OSCAR flow rate/limitation

Do you take any medications of any kind? How many hours of sleep are you averaging? Real sleep and not just laying in bed. Are those hours of sleep fragmented by very many wake ups? Any other physical or mental health issues going on??? UARS is a hard diagnosis to make and it is mainly a rule out d...

Re: Help with OSCAR flow rate/limitation

It hurts nothing to use imgur if you want to. I use both imgur and the forum attachment feature. Especially if your image is large because the forum attachment has a 1 MB file size limitation. So you don't have to use the attachment thing if it works out to use imgur. Just have to sort through imgu...

For your future reference, there is an Attachment tab at the bottom of the post box. You can attach screenshots directly and avoid an outside hosting service (Imgur in this case).

Re: Help with OSCAR flow rate/limitation

I see inspiratory fl, I'd change your pressure settings to a min of 8, 9 if you want to increase the epr, and also raise the max pressure, (preferably to 20, so you don't restrict the machine from helping you.) Thanks, man! I will try that and report back. But are you sure it's not expiratory FL ? ...

Hello, I've been diagnosed with "mild sleep apnea" (10 AHI - unknown RDI??? ) about a month ago after a sleep study at the hospital. Was surprised because I've been having really heavy symptoms (intense fatigue, yawning all the time, intense brain fog, serious memory issues at 19 which is concerning...
