(OSCAR) Starting out, CPAP as Diagnostic tool? - Aph002 - 10-25-2024 Hello, Since March of this year, I have felt very tired each and every day, and am no longer able to concentrate well or do the things I enjoy, such as watch movies. I have tried to get tested for apnoea, and I got a pulse oximeter, which showed no sign of anything. Because it showed nothing, I have been listed as a lower priority and won't be able to get any higher up testing for at least 6–12 months, which will be an at-home Respiratory Polygraph. Worried about the prospects of another year of this, with no promise of a solution at the end, I have rented a AirSense11 AutoSet machine to try to figure out the problem myself. I have put a night's data into OSCAR, and I want to know what I can figure out from the data, I.E. whether it suggests apnoea or anything, as well as if I should make any adjustments. About me: 23M 85Kg/187lb 180/5'11" Systolic Blood pressure has been around 150-160 for this year, diastolic something above 100, but I can remember. My BP has never been high before. Frequent awakening with dry mouth Sleep alone, no direct evidence of apnoea. I attached the OSCAR data, I appreciate any help. [attachment=71187] [attachment=71188] |
