OK, Sleepyhead Graphs, requesting feedback

Post by PartlyCloudy » Sun Mar 30, 2014 3:03 pm

Alright, I think I have the correct ones y'all requested in my other thread. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to post this in that thread or start a new one. I'm not stupid. I could probably figure this all out if I wasn't so TIRED.

My unit doesn't auto adjust and my pressure is 6. My sleep study AHI was 13.4.

The Flow Rate graph and Event Flags graph are a separate image below the other graphs. Couldn't figure out how to do a full screen shot.

Thank you!

The snores are indications of partial airway collapse...your pressure is not quite optimal.
If your machine flagged Flow limitations (it doesn't so don't let the absence of any flags lead you to believe there weren't any) I suspect we would also see an increased number of Flow limitations.

Probably wouldn't take but 0.5 or 1.0 cm to clean up the reports a bit more and it might help with how you feel...can't guarantee it because there's more to feeling better than looking at some numbers and graphs.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

Thank you both. I did in fact see all the snoring and was wondering about that contributing to my tiredness. In fact, I just checked to see if I could change my pressure myself but can't. Wow, if getting the snoring under control will make me feel as good as I did after my titration I'm pretty excited. I see my doc this week.

Thanks again!
