Need Help Interpreting OSCAR Report

Post by Goyard687 » Mon Apr 19, 2021 12:39 pm

Hello I need help reading my oscar report as Im pretty new to Cpap and having problems that Im trying to work out

I often wake up either early morning or middle of the night which leaves me feeling groggy and tired
I take melatonin and valerian root to sleep and use it nightly

I have the resmeds9 with nasal pillows

Please let me know what I should do to improve my sleep quality as Im trying to get things firing on all cylinders again

Ive attached all my sleep report photos aswell

Thanks!

Hello and welcome! I didn't see the sleep report scans; could you try again to post them? I'm especially interested to see whether you had a lot of central events during your sleep test.

Small thing: when you post your next chart, post just these graphs, all in one screenshot:

Events
Flow rate
Pressure
Leaks
Snores
Flow limitations.

You can squeeze them all in by grabbing the horizontal gray bars that separate the graphs and pushing them up.
