Re: Worried - Severe Desaturation- Mild Apnea
Thank you MMcG for noticing my desaturation was 90% of the night: [quote=MMcG post_id=1403372 time=1642184166 user_id=99235 Just for clarity, she did say between 80-89% for 89% of the sleep time.

The last photo is my sleep study report from a couple weeks ago, Dec 28th, 2021. Is there anything else I should provide? I really apprecia...

Re: Worried - Severe Desaturation- Mild Apnea
Really…I shouldn’t be terrified about my numbers? That would be a relief and would be helpful to my frame of mind about proceeding.

Worried - Severe Desaturation- Mild Apnea
I just got my sleep study results and am new to understanding desaturation problems and very concerned. I am a 63 year old female. For 89% of my sleep time, my SpO2 was 80-89% and it even dipped as low as 78%. Impression: severe arterial O2 desaturation but mild obstructive apnea according to the re...
