Didn't have a 3rd study, just took home an oximeter for a night. That did the trick as far as getting the O2. I should know within the next couple of days if that was a good move...which I suspect it is.
Thinking of quitting CPAP?

No problem, here's the first thing to do when you quit:


Advanced funeral planning. When you give up CPAP, you'll probably need it.

with my O2 in the 70s I can't go without the O2 at night on bipapst- I really feel much better on 5 liters. it also took me months to get O2 even though I was desating below the 88 or so
I wonder if it is related to the asthma I have. I also have developed these centrals, had close to 50 of them. anyone know where they come from? if you have a brain stem issue like a cyst it can cause centrals or brain lesions in the clival region
