I don't know if Oscar will show afib, but we can look at the flow rate closeups to see what we see. The far better solution is to get an Apple Watch 6 which is designed to detect afib and arrhythmia, as well as oxygen saturation.

RE: Sleep apnea and afib
It may be possible to see cardiogenic artifacts in your OSCAR flow charts. It's generally easier to see if you have pauses between breaths or if you have CA events (and zoom right in to a minute page width or so). Heart rate in AF is usually much higher than your usual heart rate.

A pulse oximeter will give some indication also (although most struggle to accurately track pulse in AF).

I have a Kardia device which I carry to help determine if I am in AF. An Apple watch might be an option if I didn't have objections to buying stuff from them. Here's a comparison of Apple Watch vs Kardia.
