Two Questions - Flow Rate is UARS

[Dodies]

Hi, I read in another thread from some time back that what I am seeing in my flow rate graph is indicative of UARS, can anyone confirm? And if so, is there anything I can do about it? I feel that my nostrils collapse when I sleep to some extent and as a natural nose breather have found that nose pillows really improve my sleep, but I still have this pattern.






And the other question is a bit weird, but I will ask anyway. I have found since starting CPAP that my, ahem, "old fella" seems to be behaving a lot more like it used to, dramatically so. Is there a reason for this? Anyone understand what's happening there? Maybe my testosterone levels have increased?

What I see in the snippet posted is a flow limited inspiration. I would have to see far more data to consider UARS as a potential problem.

As far as “little Dodies” newfound energy goes, I have no idea.

Hi Dodies, we can't tell much from a 1 minute 42 second zoom of a waveform chart Please post a full screenshot (f12 in daily tab).

Ah sorry guys, I thought that you needed to see the shape as I read that the "rounded top" to each breath is indicative UARS, is it not? 

How much data is needed? 

I will post 3 more - but let me know how much is needed.

One more from last night.

Yes, aware of the leaking, it normally has not been a problem since very recently, I think I have a leak from my mouth, its like air is being pushed out of my mouth rather than actually exhaling.. Ive woken up from it before, its a weird sensation, but doesn't happen too often.

Also, all those CA's present in the first 30 minutes, I was 100% awake for those, I really don't understand why that happens. My SPo2 levels drop a lot when I'm laying in bed to fall asleep, i have the oximiter on and its alarm is constantly going off informing that O2 levels have dipped below 90%. Wish I knew why that happens. But over the entire night I got an average of 94%.
