I've read through many of the posts, guides, and resources here. This is my first post.
I was recently diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. I have year round allergies causing nasal congestion and enlarged turbinates. I had a home sleep study done a few years ago that was inconclusive, and a recent in-lab sleep study that recorded an AHI of 15.2. I've felt that I've had sleep issues my entire life - trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, trouble waking up, not feeling well-rested, and daytime fatigue. I use melatonin and occasionally Ambien to help sleep.
I got tired of waiting for my sleep doctor, DME, and insurance company to process the paperwork and get me set up with equipment, so I purchased my own ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset through Lofta. I use a ResMed AirFit F30i full face mask. I also use a Nonin Wrist Ox2 Bluetooth (BLE) Model 3150 oximeter and a gen 3 Oura ring (which is what initially gave me data pointing to possible sleep apnea). I will hopefully (within the next month) receive a second AirSense 11 through insurance, at which point my current machine will become my travel/backup machine.
I've completed one full night's sleep with the machine, as well as several partial night's sleep where I ripped the mask off after a couple hours. I've also used it while awake watching TV and reading to become familiar with it.
My settings are mode AutoSet, pressure 5-15, AutoSet response standard, ramp time auto, start pressure 4, EPR on, type full time, level 3, climate control auto, tube temp auto, mask setting full face, b/v filter off, smartstart on, smartstop off.
I have attached my redacted in-lab sleep study results, as well as OSCAR screenshots from the first full night. I've included the oxygen and pulse information as well since I have that capability. I felt okay when waking up after it, but not particularly well-rested. It was not too uncomfortable to sleep with.
I'm interested to know how my results look and how I can improve the APAP treatment. Please let me know if I should include any more information or screenshots.
Thanks in advance for any help,
