New to Cpap - Want to know more about my data
Hello All,
First time posting. I am new to Cpap - been using it for 5-6 days now. Its definitely a challenge but I wanted to know if anyone could help me out with what my data is telling me. This is last nights treatment which is by far i think the best its been. I just put the card in 2days ago so my first few nights i dont have. Oddly enough the very first night i sleep for 3 hours with it consecutively. I havent been able to since.
The main things I am looking for are - staying asleep longer overall, and sensations i notice after treatment.
I am a 34 year old male from PA, I weight 170 - 6'2". I can fall asleep relatively easy, with my current settings, but i cannot stay asleep for longer than 1- 1.5 hours at a time. I constantly wake up - take a 20 minute break and reset, and then the cycle starts over.
After about 3 times of this i do give up around 5 am or so. I notice i will have a slight dry mouth and some gas discomfort certain days. I sleep on my left side mainly (NEVER back), and use a n20 Nasal mask. I have also noticed the sensation of feeling full of air throughout the day afterwards, heavy nasal congestion and what seems to be labored breathing ( like a slight chest cold, but no phlegm is produced or wheezing). My oxygen level is at 98 and resting heart rate is typically between 80-100 awakening depending on the day. Havent noticed it lower then 96.
I usually dont feel tired throughout the day even before cpap, just my girlfriend would tell me your choking and shaking in your sleep. Wore a mouthpiece for years and seems to work, but i switched to a cpap because i couldn't sleep the night through and now it seems worse.
I realize this is a massive learning curve, but i dont know how to read this data and would love some insight/help. I can provide more screenshots if necessary
