oxygen dropping at night when sleeping

Post by DeniseR7 » Tue Aug 11, 2015 3:19 pm

I am upset; I did a night time oxygen check last night to see how well oxygenated my body is when sleeping. I got a message,today, missed, that said I was being set up for oxygen at night. What causes this? being overweight? because I am. I guess I am due in again to check with the doctor over this.

I guess the good news is, I probably won't have morning headaches now.

the other question I had was how to search this board for this topic. I do not see a field to put in a search and the Wiki doesn't seem to help.

thanks!

google (or others) using the site: keyword, thusly:

"site:cpaptalk.com blah blah blah whatever search"

will often get even better results.

thanks!

I got more interesting results searching that way. I'll have to remember how to do this for other sites as well!

there are a number of search modifiers that can increase the power of your googlefu.

The search function on this site is limited to two words, but it's free.
As long as we can be creative, we needn't be ungrateful to the Goodman's for their generosity.

eh? one of the biggest problems I have with the built in search is that it ignores short words.

not sure where any of this has anything to do with the generosity of the Goodmans.

Well, if an update like fixing the search might be costly . . .

Actually, it is just a config change to the underlying database. The default minimum value for fulltext is 4 characters in MySQL, other database engines have similar settings. It is a trivial change I make to technical forums which have lots of short words.

well, um... I was just suggesting alternative ways to search, that offer more options, and since google and other indexers do index the site, the power of those search engines is available without any cost or effort on the Goodmans part.

maybe the advanced search (which I honestly don't normally notice or remember is there) might work better in some instances... it's good to have options.
