RE: ac123 Treatment Thoughts/Help
I wonder if this area before 01:05 is a Positional Apnea episode. Certainly, it's clustered events. Try reading up on the subject in our wiki HERE.
Check how thick the pillow is you're using. Multiple pillows will promote airway kinking. Airway kink is what happens during Positional Apnea. Think about the scene, Grandpa fell asleep in the recliner watching TV. His head is flopped over into his chest, snoring a forest of logs. His chin tuck is creating an airway restriction.
If this applies to you, then you need to externally prevent the chin tuck. Either a thin pillow or a soft cervical collar may be needed.
My opinion, even at 3.x CA, given certain circumstances, isn't too high to oppose the treatment of other events. Some of the CA you present might be simple breath holds.
