1. You have some O2 drops but your cpap shows you're breathing perfectly...

Could the Wellue ring give off false positives than?

Maybe you want to request your doctor issue a Cap-Ox overnight test. I still don't see enough duration for 90% to be a concern with recent data.

I doubt that's available here in town. I live in a small town with not many options.

The Cap-Ox test can be home based. Call one of your doctors to see if any will order it.

This recent chart, oxygen is better that the other one. Only 1 minute and 48 seconds below 90%.

Ok last night was better using the settings that was suggested but I had some bouts of bradycardia mostly while I was awake(didn't get much sleep but that's do to benzo withdrawal). Should I be worried?

Or you're sometimes not breathing and the cpap isn't noticing? both things can happen..

I've always found it weird that my oxymeter test said I have 35/h AHI and then when I started cpap, even with the lowest min/max, it never showed an AHI higher than 1.... lol how is it possible? I suddenly started breathing correctly just because there's a mask crushing my face?

I've also "tested" my cpap by holding my breath, simulating an obstructive apnea, and it seemed to work: The pressure was increased as soon as I released the air out... even tho I think it should increase the pressure high away when I stopped breathing, not when I released the air
 Huh

RE: Apex45 - Therapy Thread
Why would you pretend to have Apnea by holding your breath? To prove your machine can be fooled?

Your question about 1 or less AHI, you didn't know the CPAP is possible of this good of treatment?
