Hey thank you so much for your inputs with all this. Everything you are saying seems to be pretty accurate! It sure seems to me like you've got a serious case of clinically significant anxiety---as in your anxiety is taking over your whole life and you probably need to be treated for it. If you don'...

What should i do here? Should i ask sleep doctor to see what scans can be performed to find my issue? Do such scans exists? No. No. No. You should have a consultation with an ENT to examine your airway. This will include a nasal endoscopy where she can see the septum, turbinates and vocal cords. I ...

Wow that's amazing information. I never thought how bad i damaged the inside of my body due to OSA. I am not sure how bad i might have damaged my brain or heart. Are there any scans that i can do to check? Not that I know of. The damage done by OSA include things like inflammation, stress and OSA's...

But yes, thank you so much for sharing that because now i know i am not the only one. I was thinking, hey! im suppose to be feeling top notch but i guess other factors will always come into play even if you sleep great. For most people, getting used to PAP and starting to feel better is a process :...

Yes perhaps i should definitely invest in that O2 dongle. When i did my sleep study i had 90 events an hour.. going down to 2. oh boy. im super grateful.. but definitely would wish to go down to less than 1 every night Chasing an AHI < 1 may or may not actually make you feel any better. While there...

(90 events an hour, 60% blood oxygen level) If your lungs are healthy, a recording pulse-oximeter would be a waste of money, effort and time. Just use CPAP to keep your airway open, and you won't have desats. Yeah thats more than likely very true. Ill take check my OSCAR data like you said though. ...

how likely is it for your blood oxygen to drop significantly while sleeping if your AHI is between 0-2 (when using cpap machine)? Given your overall good health and no lung dysfunction, it's not likely to have deep oxygen desaturations with an AHI ranging from 0 - 2. When you get OSCAR running, loo...

I had a question. how likely is it for your blood oxygen to drop significantly while sleeping if your AHI is between 0-2 (when using cpap machine)? When i did my sleep study i had blood oxygen go down to 60% and im kind of nervous if that still could be going on. Mind you, i am in excellent health ...

You can try adding a pillow so one side is higher, a la Falcon position, to create space for the mask.

See the wiki article wiki/index.php/Sleep_Positions

Thanks so much! im going to try this position out!

There are CPAP pillows - bought or self made - that could help. Stomach sleeping is often an intuitive unconscious choice of people who suffer from OSA since in that position there's the lowest probability of obstructing your airways. yes i noticed my events are much lower when i stick to sleeping ...

HI everyone, i have a question. when i did my sleep study 7 months ago, i had my blood oxygen go down to 60%. It's been 4 months since i have been compliant with my therapy. I have not been feeling mentally strong as i once was. So, i want to make sure that my blood oxygen is not what may be causing...

So all my life i slept on my stomach, i never was able to sleep on my back or any other positions besides the position you see in this image https://ibb.co/sQnWw24 Im having a big issue where my cpap full face mask doesnt allow me to sleep with my face plastered to the pillow the way i like. Its dri...

thanks Pugsy! You are most welcome but I see you chose the AirSense 10 CPAP machine .... and that's not the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet....go looking again and scroll down to the R's to find your AutoSet. For some weird reason it got stuck down in the Rs and not up in the A's with the rest of the Ai...

thanks Pugsy!
