RE: Managing flow limitations - fishfinderG - 09-01-2022
What is normal for sp02 drops while treated well on APAP? My AHI is below 1 most days but I'm still feeling tired and waking up throughout the night so I went and got an o2ring to see if something was out of the ordinary with o2 drops despite AHI being good. My original sleep study showed entirely hypopneas so I figured this was worth checking.
My O2 never went below 93%, which seems reasonable to my uneducated self, but I had 50+ 3% drops according to OSCAR so maybe that's still a concern?

Just got ahold of my original sleep study. Almost entirely hypopneas.
Might I have UARS?

I've got an appointment with my sleep doc in a few weeks. I'm tired despite always having a low AHI. Does this suggest I should bring up BiPap or maybe ask for an in-lab study since it has been 4 years since my at-home study and I still don't feel rested most of the time?
