Hi there, I want to thank you all for your help, responses are below the graphs...
This is the first time I have seen these oxi graph summarys so Im a real newbie with this..
Please forgive me if I ask some ignorant questions.
Here are my summary graphs. The first is from the night before last WITHOUT APAP..
The one below it is WITH APAP..
My questions:
1. It doesnt look like I had too many bad desats on my side and stomach, could I have mild apnea in those positions and severe on my back?
2. I only had a few graphs before, but NOW looking at the summary, does it still look like I need to wear the apap all the time?
3. is my pulse rate pretty normal on both the graphs? ..what does pulse 173 mean?
4. I have been trying to make apap work for me for six months, but I am whipped after every night with it, and not whipped
when I dont wear it if i sleep on side or stomach.....It does not appear that m oxygren levels drop very low without my apap..
(p.s. I was NEVER tired before cpap)
I have my rescan graphs and stats for the second night too..
SORRY FOR THE SMALL PRINT ON THE GRAPHS..
I retyped it so it would be easier to read..

THANKS! I figured out how to post my summarys now!
Congrats on your new acquisition i like the 50F,i notice that you are only showing your graphs, have you read your O2 reports? you have to click on the bottom printer Icon to be able to review them i believed that there are 4 different reviews.The 02 report will show the amount of desats that you had at what % and for how long..I'm just wondering if you had a chance to check these reports out...

I have them now, thank you! I have the one without the apap, and one with..
Sorry I should read closer. But to be honest it never crossed my mind that it was without your APAP but I see you explained your reasoning. An Oximeter all by itself probably doesn't give you enough information to decide on REM/Positional etc which is why they hook up all of those other sensors along with having a camera on you to see if you are on your side or not But I'm all for learning. My first clue that APAP was working even though I can only make it a few hours after 100+ days was that I wasn't getting up to dump the water my kidneys were processing because my BP skyrocketing. Still not getting quality sleep do to RLS and PLMD among other things but my heart rate and O2 are much improved which improves my BP and has me skipping the every 60-90 minute bathroom trips.
Though I can't blame you for hoping to not need the machine.
And hope you had a great birthday even if the news wasn't what you hoped for.

HI John! I should have made that NOT on apap bigger to begin with.. The only thing I have noticed is nocturia is gone and the irregular
heart beats.. but Im beginning to wonder if all that mess was happening cuz I was sleeping on my back?
If there is enough data, click the button at the bottom that says, [M].
Then click the checkbox to include all data. Then it should display a single chart for the entire session.
OKAY, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!
