100% new to OSCAR...some help?

Post by thsieh0111 » Tue Apr 13, 2021 9:59 am

Greetings all! I just downloaded OSCAR and had my first night's data on hand. I plan to take some time this weekend to read through the wiki and learn what I'm looking at, but for now, I may as well be trying to learn a new language lol. Can anyone take a look at this screenshot and let me know what I'm looking at? Thanks!

Your AHI is at a good level and so is your mask leak. Your minimum pressure is set low. Is that OK for your comfort? Some people need a little higher pressure to avoid a starving-for-air feeling. Others do fine at a low setting.

Do you feel like you are sleeping well? Are you energetic during the day? Any excess sleepiness?

I'm pretty comfortable with whatever the settings are. My doctor had this pre-set so I never touched it. As far as my sleep, I seem to be ok. I've been on the CPAP for about 2.5 weeks and I feel more rested in the mornings. Energy-wise, I feel about the same throughout the day as I always have. Low energy was never an issue I faced.

Thank you for the response!
