Re: oxygen desaturation levels.
70 percent is very serious. your blood is loosing oxygen. have your doctor check your Hemoglobin and Hematocrit with a blood test. The OP's O2 dropped to 70% on the diagnostic sleep test.

Re: Oxygen Level Dropping During REM to low 80's
I was able to start tracking my Oxygen levels using a new Samsung watch and it's showing my Oxygen level is dropping to 82%-84% typically twice a night during longer stages of REM. I'm scheduling an appointment with Dr and have adjusted pressure levels higher and narrower on my Cpap, but wondering ...

I need cpap and 2L of 02 for sleeping only. when it comes to camping in the woods for a month or more. I'm an ...

I'm on 2L. just for cpap only. I don't need it 24/7. I'm on medicare. what I did....

Re: AIRSENSE 11 battery ?? 12 V cord?
what works for me is the portable outlet battery. no fancy cables to buy, just plug in to power pack.

I called the company 7 times already same reply. get the...
