I was able to resize the pdf file and get a clearer image for the first page of reports. Let me know if it needs to be a bit larger or if another report needs to be enlarged. It sounds like Ozij was able to figure things out but I will post this one just in case.

Great job, Brenda!!!

The AHI of 17 is correlated with desats.
Time in desat is 1:40:18 - not 1:46 + which I though I saw yesterday.
Almost a quarter of each hour (14.22 mins) were spent in desaturation.
There's "pulsevariance" index that I've run into for the first time - it's 40

The first graph showw the lenght of respiratory event, the second shows the desat distribution.
Snoring (schnarchen) took place for 3 hours 44 mins 33 secs, and they even seem to have and idex for that: 311.

Ok, is it time to start worrying yet? I thought that the info you gave last night was bad Ozij, but with a better look at the first page, it sounds even worse than I'd though. Or am I looking into this too much?

Thanks to everyone who's responded to this. When I get a chance, I'm going to see the rep here on base and see if the results from the doctor who gave me the last test have been translated yet.

Now here comes a question that will generate many responses. When I talk to the doctor at the Army hospital, and I've been reading many of the recent posts here, besides a full data capable machine, what else should I ask for? I know that a lot of this will depend on what I hope will be the final sleep study before I get my machine, but as the saying goes, the better armed you are when you go, the better things will work in your favor. Or so I hope. Thanks for putting up with all the questions from me on this.

I don't see anything much worse in the additional data - the worrying you've already started is fine as is.. .... the data still point to bad breathing when you sleep, and low oxygenation stressing your heart . You're lucky to have discovered it now, and not in 10 years from now.

A heated humidifier is usually standard nowadays -- just make sure the doctor agrees with this standard.

Thanks Ozij, I see that i'm at about the right amount of worry. I talked to the people who pay the bills for my stuff, and from what I found out, they will pay 100% of the cost for what I need, Including software and etc. The fun part will be getting the doctor that I see on the 10th to agree for me to have the machine that would serve me best. I'll just have to get him to understand that this is MY life and I want to be involved in making things better.

I'm kind of glad that I didn't know about this before I joined the Army. If I had, and was getting treatment, I wouldn't have been allowed to join. I've many great memories from my time of being in. The BEST thing that happened was meeting my wife. She's a trooper all on her own when it comes to dealing with all of the stuff we have so far.

Thanks again to you all. Your information is limitless and will always be taken to heart.
