"Hi Bob (delayed reply as the forum wouldn't post last time I tried). Your average pressure is certainly very low. I'm assuming it's auto pressures (APAP)? Your AHI is good too. It would be better to upload a…"

What is a good oxygen Oximeter

I have been on CPAP therapy for nearly 2 years and still feel very tired, I have been to hospital a couple of times in that period and the first thing they do is put me on oxygen. So I have decided…Continue

"Hi Kath,
I think, looking at the graphs that I have a very low flow rate and then an OA event and then the machine sends out one or more pulses. This is almost invariably when I wake. So it could be the OA event waking me (or waking causing the OA),…"
"Sorry Bob, but I missed your post. If you're having broken sleep this will cause daytime tiredness. Roughly every 90 mins we go into REM sleep and I'm wondering if you're being woken up by the pressure rising when apnoeas…"
"Hi, i too suffer from daytime tiredness, so much so that if I sit at any time of day for more than aboiut 20 minutes I am overcome by waves of sleepiness. I suddenly fall into a deep sleep so quickly that I drop mugs of tea or anything…"
"Happy New Year Mags and hope things are going better now."
"Thanks Kath, will see the GP in the New Year I wondered myself if it was Iron. I find that the GP doesn't seem to know very much about OSA, and never do any checks on it."
"Just a thought Mags, but if the tiredness has come on you since you came off the iron/folic tablets, maybe that could be the cause? Also a lot of people do need large doses of Vitamin D3 and I wonder if that could be affecting things now that…"
"Hi Kath thanks for your response, I have been given vitamin D tablets for a year and also a few months ago was on Iron and folic acid tablets. I had a Overactive Thyroid in my 30s and have no thyroid so I am on Thyrioxine dailly which is…"
"Are your AHI results on the CPAP 5 or below? If so, check your hose hasn't developed any little holes. Occasional mask leaks shouldn't cause this.
If all is well with your CPAP therapy and you're getting 7-9 hours sleep every…"
Daytime Tiredness on CPAP
I have been on CPAP therapy for 3 years, recently I am feeling very tired in the daytime. This morning my machine showed 8 hours 28 minutes and no leaks. Use a ResMed automatic machine and a full face mask. An odd time if I turn in my sleep my mask leaks this happens occasionally. I am age 70 if that makes any difference. Any advice would be really appreciated.See More

"Hi
The SleepCube was a private purchase, as way back then my local sleep clinic assessed patients by filming them overnight, whilst wearing an oximeter, and only issued CPAP machines without humidifiers. There was no remote monitoring and…"
"Yeah I was wondering about email address. I thought probably if they wanted me to mail them they would have given out an address. I can imagine heart data is considered more acute than sleep data, so it would make more sense to have that…"
"Hi.
I didn't use PatientsKnowBest (ironic name), but I have an email address for my heart department for sending in ECGs. I was just saying that they may be able to review a PDF when then cannot review a data file from your O2 ring.
I am…"
"Hi Jonathan, did you do that through PatientKnowsBest?"
"On an unrelated topic, I've been able to send ECGs by PDF to my heart clinic.

Wellu O2 Ring - is it accurate enough for the medics?
Moving some furniture my long lost O2 ring continuous oxygen saturation monitor turned up. So I've been wearing it and it tells me I have loads of saturation drops during the night even though my Airsense 10 says I have very few apneas.So I get two…See More
"Hi,
Just thought I'd give an update. So, I had my appointment with the NHS sleep clinic which was much quicker than I anticipated and I've now had the overnight sleep study. My AHI is now 6, down from over 30, so I'm…"
"Hi Sally from what I read the airsense doesn't suffer the same foam degredation issues as the infamous Phillips machine.I can conceive it's possible that microplastics may be shed from the flexible main tube.What worries me more about the…"
"Hi
My sleep clinic discharged me, saying they were happy I was self-managing. Roll on a decade and the cardiologists taking care of me were very unimpressed and I was re-enrolled. I expect remote monitoring with current generation Resmed…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks again for the info. My cpap *should* be monitored by the NHS though I haven’t had any contact from them since pre-covid. I checked out the link you gave to access extra data and I think that’s going to be…"
"Hi
I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP). It's monitored remotely by my NHS sleep clinic and I believe they can make changes to the settings. I don't know whether they are notified if I make changes, nor whether they…"
"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the reply. I'd say that I'm fairly technical. I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Elite machine. I've discovered that I can upload data wirelessly from my machine and having lowered the pressure by…"
"Hi
You don't say how technical you are, or what sort of machine you use. However https://www.sleephq.com/ has software which allows you to upload data from compatible machines, and analyse your sleep "score", including a…"
air bubbles after weight loss
