I had a sleep study conducted on April 11, with an AHI of 23.4, and was prescribed a CPAP on May 3, which I was issued on Friday, May 10. I used it Friday night, but I did not know about using the SD card slot to capture my data, as one was not provided. However, after looking through this site and tinkering around with OSCAR yesterday, I put an SD card in to capture last night's data. I would say it was quite interesting. Here is a 3-minute snapshot from early this morning:
Interestingly enough, I was under the impression that my apnea was obstructive in nature based on the discussion with my provider, and it very well could have been, but this 3-minute peek into my night had me scratching my head. I had no obstructive apneas last night (don't know about Friday night). I have read that obstructive and central apnea can occur together and, through some of the discussion posts, I realize that the central apnea could/should subside as I adjust to sleeping with a CPAP.
Does anyone on here have a similar graph to this? It is concerning because it appears to me as Cheyne-Stokes, which could mean other medical issues going on...even though I feel generally great! Just curious if anyone else has seen similar data in their results and if there were any major concerns.
Obviously, I know they will share this data with my doctor, so I will find something out at some point. Just wanted to reach out and start a conversation with others who may have similar scenarios. Needless to say, I have had a couple of great nights of sleep, relatively speaking, and am already feeling more energetic than I have in a few weeks!
Thanks again for this community. I'm glad I found it!
