Hi Pugsy! Can the attached thread "viewtopic/t186231/Examplesmouth-breathi ... gging.html" be used for false CA events as well?Pugsy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2023 1:23 pmEntirely possible. When we have arousals we don't always remember them when they are very brief but they still happen and we can see it on the flow rate graphs.
I have a few examples in this thread.
viewtopic/t186231/Examplesmouth-breathi ... gging.html
I call these post arousal flagged events as "false positives". A while back I had an AHI of 9.4....sounds horrible doesn't it but 90% of that AHI was false positive post arousal flagged events. I slept horribly that night and I wasn't surprised when I saw that AHI and looked further to see all the post arousal breathing stuff. I was a stupid old woman who did WAY too much in her garden one day and paid the price with lots of back/pelvic pain that night and I tossed and turned all night long and I remembered the tossing and turning. I have a hard enough problem with pain issues disturbing sleep without doing something stupid and making it worse.
When I don't sleep long enough or soundly enough I get headaches and feel like crap.
Wonder if your acid reflux is affecting your sleep quality much???? Wouldn't be impossible for it to be a factor.
