[Treatment] 90 day AHI data graph
#1
90 day AHI data graph
Hi again all.

I had my sleep specialist appointment today. She said my data is coming up great. I asked her why it is that I still have daytime drowsiness quite badly some days and why my AHI readings vary from 1.9 to 11.2. She said that's quite normal and I should be feeling better rested by now. 
She wants me to do  iron tests and vitamin d testing done. She has me set at 13 cm fixed. 
She says happy to put me back in for another night to check that titration is right. But that won't happen for a few months yet. In the mean time I'm stuck on the 13 center fixed setting. She's pretty much determined not to put me on an auto range.

I've attached a screenshot of a dreammapper 90 day graph. You can't see the the actual single day readings but you can see the wave of the graph. Is this normal for a 90 day graph?

RE: 90 day AHI data graph
There is very little we can tell from what you’ve posted from Dreammapper.

Your profile states that you use #SleepyHead, so the best thing to do is post a screenshot of your data from #SleepyHead.

Use the directions below in my signature line to help organize the charts and then post here.

We need to see the Daily Page.  Include the following graphs:  events, flow rate, pressure (not mask pressure), Leak Rate and snores.  Include the left side bar stats, but leave off the calendar and pie chart.

Your sleep specialist more than likely wants to keep you on a straight pressure if you are showing Clear Airways, but we can’t really see what’s going on from the data you posted.  
We would be able to see all the Apnea events and a lot more from SleepyHead.

It takes quite awhile for some to start to feel better, and if your pressure settings are not optimal to treat your Apnea, you will probably not feel rested.  It is also a good thing to have your Vitamin D and Iron levels checked.
