You are absolutely correct. I don't intend to ignore it and I didn't mean to dismiss it in my above comment, just noting that it was the same today as it was yesterday and the day before, so probably not the rock to look under for explanations (i.e. another effect rather than causal).The problem is that that is high blood pressure.

I'm hoping to have a better experience but have a small collection of previously submitted incorrectly managed issues on the other side of the scale fueling my cynical tendancies. I have an appointment - we'll see.I could not get my doctors to pay attention to my central apneas. [...]
Thank you for the warning. I will lean toward the 'longer living through less chemistry' side.[...] damaged my kidneys [...]
Braebon Ultima sensor (sleep-lab kit) with nasal cannula fitted as indicated in the documentation.Where and how are you measuring pressure? It might be the location of your pressure sensor is responsible for that particular pressure waveform. CPAP machines measure pressure/flow at the machine, so there's plenty of elasticity between there and the old shnoz. Therefore my waveform and yours might both be OK.
I've always hated naps and have been known as a cranky so-and-so for a long time. I've had trouble with "excessive daytime sleepiness" to varying degrees for the last few years. I usually only wake once or twice, though I'm a 'tosser and turner' in addition to the waking.How long have you been having non-restorative sleep? Do you wake up a lot at night?
Don't know if sleep/breathing is significantly disordered, though it's starting to seem so, and if so whether it is primary or secondary, but at least it can be backed into the corner and quantified. Seems the appropriate place to start.
