That's called an apnoea!
If it happens much, your settings need adjusting.

Yes, I'm with TF. It certainly sounds like it. Are you able to check your AHI Alma?

My AHI was over 30 when I was tested, I can still have the odd one on a night but my pressure was increased in April but some nights I have four and others none, depends on whether I'm stressed or not, have changed my mask to a quartro fx and they have been much better, but have used my oximeter of late

Its 95 in England, below that you can't fly, not sure what AI is, my AHI was over 30 when I was diagnosed, last ECG I had was normal, and my score was 9 last time I had a check up, have had my cpap pressure increased at last check up, my sleep test was 10 years ago, wow how time flies!!

Do you have a data capable machine? Can you tell us your AHI and AI? A sat of 89 is somewhat borderline, here in the US anything above 90 is considered normal. How long ago was your sleep test? Did the ECG show anything abnormal? What you're experiencing may indeed be an apnea, and it may not be important, but I would see the doc or talk to the nurse.
Sorry for all the questions, but a lot depends on the answers. Also important is where you're getting your data, are you dreaming when this happens, or did you just have an arousal. This is why I think it's so important to talk to a medical professional. You surely get great advice here on the forum, but this is your heart we're talking about.

When was the last time you had your blood oxygen levels measured at Check-in?
Most people, I dare say, have no idea what their blood O2 is. "Can't fly below 95" sounds like a recommendation promoted to a rule to me!
Can anyone prove me wrong?

I would say anything above 90 is good, but 95 is a great goal.

I was in hospital last year just before I had to fly, my sats were 83 when I was admitted and the consultant informed me that unless they were above 95 she would have to do a fit to fly, luckily they rose to 96 and I was okay to fly
