22 Year old male, healthy weight, frequent night awakenings (for 3 months now) and after recording my sound whilst asleep my breathing sounded very strange.
I have managed to get a hoffrichter trend 2 APAP to trial for one month. I slept one night with it and have ran the data through hoffrichter's software TRENDset with some interesting results.
My actual sleep was fragmented as usual, the pressure barely changed on the APAP from the minimum of 4. Tonight I will try increasing the minimum pressure to capture these events better.
- 9 Central Apneas
- 5 Obstructive
- 27 Hypopneas
From the data/graphs there seems to be a few trends. Significant drops in relative respiratory volume at times along with times where there are large fluctuations in the breaths per minute figure - sometimes it flatlines briefly at 0, other times it reaches 30. Examples shown below (Huge apologies for the size of the images, you may have to zoom out (control+scroll wheel down) to see them clearly).
Any thoughts or advice is very much appreciated. At the moment I'm thinking this may be something like UARS but I can't really interpret the data any more than that.
Thanks and kind regards!
