Help interpreting OSCAR data - rtpaige03 - 10-22-2024
[attachment=71037]
So I have been using cPAP since 2019 but only using the myAir app to track data. I was using a full face mask, but I have recently lost 56 pounds and was starting to feel like I was having trouble with my mask fitting properly. I was waking up with puffy eyes from air blowing into them. I was already in the smallest size. So I switched to the ResMed n30. I use a chin strap and mouth tape with this. I have noticed that my AHI have gone up even though my scores in myAir are still 95-100. I cannot get another appointment with sleep medicine for months, so I decided to put an SD card into my machine and download OSCAR. From looking at only two days of data I'm shocked to see my apneas are not obstructive but clear airway apnea. Otherwise I don't understand what I am looking at or how to improve my AHI. Can anyone help me make heads or tails of this?
