Does anyone know what these peaks are? - jwest - 08-04-2023

Every ten minutes or so I have a large inhalation followed by large exhalation. I understand far enough to suspect that these are due to imbalances in CO2 or oxygen in the blood, but I don't understand why it's happening or how to fix it?

On a separate note, any comments on these peaks?



Thanks for taking the time to check out my post!

Unfortunately your zoomed shot is just under 3-seconds of normal breathing and does not capture the intermittent spikes. Try moving your zoom out to 2-3 minutes center on the events, and it might help tell the story.

In the second picture it's about an 8-mintue frame, and within it you can see some peaks that are higher and lower than the others, which are the ones I'm speaking about. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have the exact same thing happening and I’m all out of ideas. You ever figure it out?
