Problems with sleep doctor and airview report, help with Sleepyhead!

Post by Rstasik » Mon Mar 26, 2018 10:07 am

I am using C pap for 20 years 3 new ones, got bipap 2009, broken, new psg Jan. 2018, new DNE, gave me resmed airsense 10 elite. AHI’s...5 to into 20’s, 30’s to 50’s. DME said try to get leaks fixed. I got no leaks from mar 7 until today (Mar.26, 2018).
DNE said to see dr. Saw dr. on 3.22.18. Dr
Said all is fine. Come back in 3 months. I was not satisfied.

I made an appointment with dr. Woodson (Chief, Division of Sleep Medicine
Department of Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences Medical College of Wisconsin...i am in the same hospital affiliation, Froedtert South).
I sent my PSG and medical profile to dr. Woodson however his office says he will not look at them before I can see him in May.

It seemed to me on the days in March when I had low ahi’s that I was sharp and energetic.


I am concerned that from 17/13/2009 when I had a PSG Done with an AHI of 48.7 and was assigned a bipap until October of 2017 when the I took it into the provider (American home patient) who determined the bipap unrepairable, was not meeting my apnea needs.
Furthermore, I am wondering that my cardiac health and my memory function are deteriorating due to years of bipap/cpap malfunctioning.
I also have two cardiologists at Advocate Christ Medical Center who are waiting for my apnea to be resolved so that they can tell if a new med for afib is working for me

I put my report(s) on sleepy head, I am new to the forums and need advice how to read them and any thoughts anyone might have.
Thank You for your time.

It would help us a lot if we could see what you are seeing in SleepyHead and if you would ask specific questions about what you are seeing that you need clarification on.

See this thread for how to share images and what to share.
viewtopic/t158560/How-to-post-images-for-review.html

Welcome to the forum.

Show maybe your best report and your worst report and we can start from there.

Thank you for accepting me. I am having problems with posting a screenshot. I get SH to report my data however I lose the program and get to "install"! Then I reinstall, get the program and graphs (data) n lose it

I am somewhat encouraged by what I see in the graphs (lower AHI's) however I may reading them wrong. What can I do to post my Resmed statistics via SH?
