[CPAP] Cheyne Stokes Respiration showing up on OSCAR. Concern?
#1
Cheyne Stokes Respiration showing up on OSCAR. Concern?
Hello good people,
  • I have recently lost a lot of weight with diet and exercise (around 30 pound).
  • I was sick a few days ago with a pretty bad cold.
  • I started getting ridiculous aerophagia and could not sleep. EPR is already set to max.
  • I figured, maybe my pressure needs to be re-adjusted. So, I switched the CPAP mode to Auto (my steady/CPAP-mode pressure was 12).
  • Aerophagia disappeared as soon as I switched. Now, the median pressure shows as 8.
  • I am going to see the doctor about the pressure in a couple of weeks (appointment).
  • However, past two days, I have gotten CSR events of 13 minutes on each night.
  • I am wondering if I need to worry about it and get help urgently?

Here are the two charts:

Where is the Cheyne-Stokes?  I see obstructed apneas.  Cheyne-Stokes should be associated with CAs.

OSCAR shows the green shaded area as CSR.

ResMed reports ALL Periodic Breathing as CSR. This is definitely not CSR!
Please post an entire day and always include the left sidebar without the Piechart and calendar as it contains important stats about your apnea and breathing.

I see minor clusters of obstructive events indicating that you may have a positional problem, these clusters of periodic breathing also support that and that you should increase your min pressure. Seeing your full days chart would help with specifics for that.
