I'm feeling quite relieved, as my longest apnoea on the week and a bit that I have detailed data for is 12 seconds, with most of them being 10 or 11 seconds. The hypopnoea look like they're very short too - often on the graph it will look as if there was a long continuous hypopnoea lasting quite a few minutes, but when I zoom in, I can see many discrete hypopnoea lasting about 10 seconds each, roughly every minute or so.
I know that I am a very slow breather, so what I hope is happening is that my CPAP is registering hypopnoea and apnoeas where I am merely breathing too slowly for it.
To all those who know 'stuff'.
1. Am I correct in my assumption that the discrete blue dots on my ResScan report are separate hypopnoea (I can't find one longer than 10 seconds to see what long hypopnoea should look like) or are they in fact longer and ResScan only sticks a tick every minute to tell me that I am still in a hypopnoea?
2. How likely is my theory that I am doing better than my numbers indicate, but that my slow breathing is screwing the detection software around?
Thanks in advance,
Colin
