Need some advice..

[Andyco]

I have severe OSA and I also have had an incident with optic neuropathy , they think from sleep apnea. Basically because my Oxygen levels got too low and bp went up.

I am in pressure 14 and have supplemental oxygen. I also wear an oximeter at night.

My question is what levels should my Oxygen levels be. At times it drops to 90 sometimes 88, but the little device wakes me. I have it set to alert me when oxygen levels fall to 90.

Why am I still having incidents? And what are considered ok and decent oxygen levels to basically keep mw “safe” and ok.

Any help would be appreciated.

Probably because your pressure is too low and you're apnea isn't properly treated.
