Follow this link on Organizing your chart.

We do need to see the left sidebar in its entirety, minus the calendar. Graphs included should be: Events, Flow Rate,
Pressure, Leak rate and Flow Limitations.

The Higher trigger setting shouldn't cause you any discomfort, but if it feels uncomfortable, change it to High instead of Very High. I'm hoping to see a decrease in CA's, but comfort always comes first.

Till tomorrow...OpalRose!

Good morning OpalRose!

I don't know if you got my message to you late yesterday about not being able to add (3) attachments to your replies... 

Under Attachments I browse and select file 1 it attaches but when I try to add file 2 it replaces file 1 and when I add file 3 it replaces file 2.  ???  Do you have to hit the "add attachment" every time you pull one into the reply?

Anyway, I really didn't notice much difference but it seemed a little more easier to breath in and out.  The "Pie Chart Info" looks not as complex last night.  These screen shots are of last nights session (Saturday, November 2nd 2024) with the new setting on Trigger set to very high..... see what you think.

I thank you for your time!

Your numbers look much better.  CA's came down with Trigger set to very high.  And as long as you felt comfortable with it, leave it at that setting.  If at any time, you find it harder to breathe, move the Trigger back to High.  

You do have some Positional Apnea.  Notice the clumps of Obstructives around 7:45.  This indicates that you are sleeping in a way that is cutting off your air.  This can happen if on side or back.  Usually on your back and if using a high pillow, this can cause your head to tilt forward into your chest which cuts off your air, like a kink in a hose.  It isn't excessive and only occurred once, but just be aware.  You can read more about Positional Apnea here:

Your latest chart is a little hard to read and is a bit blurry.  Be sure you are using the F12 key to take a Screenshot.

Set your display to the Standard view.  
(View > Reset Graphs > Standard)
Take a screenshot of your Daily screen.
   * For Windows or Linux: Use the F12 key
   * For a Mac: Use Fn+F12  

Layout of your chart is important.  Follow the link in my signature line on Chart organization, and set up your charts accordingly.  
We prefer to see the following graphs:  Events, Flow Rate, Pressure, Flow Limitation and Leak Rate.  
If we need to see more, we will ask, so for now, leave out the other graphs.

Thanks for getting back to me!

I have made some changes in my Oscar.... Got rid of some graphs and calendars and made sure you get the 5 graphs you stated.

If I take a screen shot of my desktop/Oscar it comes in at: In Photoshop: Width: 26.667" X Height: 15" @ 72ppi Size: 5.93M. Is this correct? Do I send this entire file at the above resolution? Or do I resize the file.

I will send you another set from Oscar after tonights sleep.... Thank you again!

Once your chart is set up the way you want, just use the F12 key (Fn+F12 if using a Mac) to take a screenshot of the chart.

You shouldn't have to resize anything if you follow these directions.

OpalRose..... Just finished another good night... Below you will find the screen shot of my numbers.  In Photoshop: Width: 26.667" X Height: 15" @ 72ppi Size: 5.93M

I saw that you do not need the AHI graph..... I really like the graphic representation showing how the low areas are good and the climbing buildings indicate something going on.

Let me know how I'm doing now....
