A way to track the length of my apnea events
#1
A way to track the length of my apnea events
sleep tracking app

Is there an app that can track the length of my apnea events? My air dash board is primitive. At this point would I would rather have 30 twelve second apneas an hour than 1 four minute apnea an hour. I am losing my mind. I would be so very grateful for any guidance on if there is any way to measure the length of my events. I am only alive because i use a NONIN 2500- A device that wakes me up if my oxygen saturation drops below my set level (85) or pulse above 90 etc.. it goes of 20 times a night . I use a Resmed airsense 11 auto set . It is the wrong machine since 100% of my events are Central apnea. I wake suffocating.Heart pains,pulse in 100's way before this maching ramps up my pressure.Dr's as your threads indicate and my experience confirms,seem to be asked upon graduation to donate their hearts to someone who might actually use it. It has been a very rude awakening. Thank you so very very much for any and all assistance. I live in Austin Texas.

RE: A way to track the length of my apnea events
As suggested in your other thread, download the free software OSCAR.  

In the Daily View, left sidebar, you will see a list of apneas (color coded).  
Click on any one and a drop down list will appear and show you how many occurred and the length (in seconds) of the apnea in parenthesis.

Also, in the Events Graph, just hover over any Apnea, and it will show the length of the Apnea in seconds.  (Except for Hypopneas, as ResMed doesn't measure them).
