Oscar Data (Anything Strange?) - ShermansMarchingBand - 11-14-2023
So I have breathing problems due to small lunges from scoliosis for context. I also have sleep apnea and its only mild but gets me to very low oxygen levels due to my lunge capacity. So minute changes effect me greatly. I'm also on o2 in the night now 4 liters connected through a hose connector. Despite this I have Oximeter readings that say I'm dropping out in the middle of the night. Especially during rem sleep. My sleep doctor claimed there were no apnea events to account for my findings. No offense to him but I've heard you guys are the best at interpreting the data from experience so can you have a look at my night and tell me if you see anything out of the ordinary? He thinks I have Pulmonary Hypertension which is quite possible but I'm holding out hope that there could be other culprit. I'm also hoping it might be a faulty oximeter reading but its always on the dot every night with a jacked heart rate and SPO2 down below 90 or worse.
As you look at the data though don't be alarmed by the leaks. Those are only when I'm waking up and moving around with the mask on (I wake up slow because the therapy doesn't feel like its working).

What Make/Model of Oximeter are you using.
Is it a recording Oximeter that you can incorporate into the Oscar report?
Being able to tie O2 drops to events on the Oscar Flow Rate graph would greatly enhance the chances of deciphering your situation.

Can you post another screenshot including the sp02 chart?
