39/Male - Diagnosed on 1/19/24 - Looking for Advice + Oscar Data
For the last few years I recall being very tired when I wake up low energy and starting in December of last year became very anxious with mild depression. My doctor suggested getting a sleep study done, which I did in the middle of January and it turns out I have severe obstructed sleep apnea.
I was given a Resmed10 and a full face mask. The first 2 to 3 months was very rough as I tried to adjust to the mask. There were stretches where I slept consistently 7 to 8 hours with the mask on and other stretches where my sleep was horrible because I was taking my mask off, and not putting it back on. I was doing this subconsciously.
The same has been happening up until now. I have a very bad vaping problem and find myself taking my mask off in the middle of the night and hitting my vape pen. It’s ridiculous and another issue I'm working on. For the last few weeks I have been keeping my vape pens out of my room so I doln’t have access to it in the middle of the night which has helped. I do, for some reason, still wake up at 5am like clockwork and take the mask off and go back to sleep without it. Anyway, I also tried a nasal pillow, but I find the full face mask gives me the best sleep.
I am still low energy most times and often times maybe 3 to 4 times a week get really tired after lunch time and develop a bad tension headache.
I bought a SD card a couple months ago and downloaded Oscar yesterday and have uploaded the data. I know there are settings you can change on the machine and recently I have set epr to 2 and my pressure down from 20 to 14. I also changed the setting based on the mask I am wearing whether it be a nasal pillow or full face. I prefer the nasal pillow, but the chin strap I purchased through ResMed tends to slip off at night. I also purchased mouth tape with mixed results.
I’m hoping somebody out there after looking at my Oscar data can help me in someway that will benefit my well-being and sleep. I really don't know what I am looking at in Oscar but look forward to learning it. I have also uploaded my sleep report.
I am very hopeful and looking forward to living my best life. Thank you all for your time.
I have zipped up all data from Oscar that I think is relevant, my sleep study, and also pdfs of my last couple weeks daily reports and linked it below. If there are better ways to export this data or make it easier, please let me know!!
