The video system is motion activated. I apparently was perfectly still during these beautiful breaths.
Then, the camera activates and shows me tossing around, it appears as if I am struggling to breathe, (The camera does capture my entire body, so it can even capture the rise and fall of my stomach. I have noticed that at some "bad" times you can notice my stomach rise and fall VERY much. Like I'm trying to draw deep breaths and very fast). It looks like this happened here. I eventually wake up fully, sit up and take my mask off.
I also find it interesting, and am wondering about the following:
These great looking breaths took place in between what I have come to call "caterpillar" Flow Rate wave forms. I have tried, very hard, to learn about these particular wave forms. Yesterday, (and on other days too), I have had around 2 or so CA. As flagged by
OSCAR. I have been told, more than once, that I should not worry about my CA because they appear in such small numbers and are of the insignificant type, from what I am learning these are probably "junk" CA events. Now, in today's chart I have a few of what appear to be the same shape wave form. Two are flagged by Oscar and the others are not. The other similar wave pattern/shape are NOT flagged btw in Oscar. (Probably because they did not last at least 10 seconds, correct?)
Please know, I am NOT being very concerned about them because you guys told me not to be, I'm just curious about these waves and what they DO indicate. I believe I read on the internet that they can occur just prior to a full arousal. But I'm confused if they do this even if they are "junk"?
I also am confused as to the flow limit being ok at the point of the "caterpillar". I don't know, I'm just interested.
Here is my overview chart for last night:
