Are these different regions of my flow graph normal?
Hello All,
This is my first post on Apnea Boards, glad that this community exists!
I have a question about my flow graphs from my ResMed Airsense 10 Elite. I have noticed 3 distinct patterns in my flow data. All three of these appear most nights, although when and for how long each is present changes from night to night. I was wondering if these regions are normal (and something that a healthy sleeper might have as well), or indicative of untreated breathing problems.
It is possible that these regions simply correspond to different sleep stages (e.g. REM vs NonREM), in which case I'd like to hear about that as well!
The 'sleep regions' image shows a zoomed out image of my entire nights sleep, with the 3 regions boxed using different colors. The remains images show close-ups of the regions (blue and green are stacked atop one another in one image due to the 3 attachment limit).
The first region (red), has low amplitude and regular breathing.
The second region (blue), has higher amplitude and slightly more ragged breathing, although still regular.
The third region (green) is much more irregular and has erratically shaped peaks and valleys.
I appreciate any answers!
Adam
