recent sleep study results
I've been on a cpap now for a couple of years.....lately things havent been well, (several naps during the day, not feeling rested) so doctor ordered a sleep study, It was supposed to be a split study, which started without the cpap, but then they were supposed to wake me up to put my mask on, but that never happened she said something about I never got to a certain stage. Anyway, I have the results now, kinda concerned about my O2 levels, the mean was 94 but it got as low as 74......if I dont have sleep apena, why is my oxygen so low? Camn someone explain this line to me:
If the patient still shows signs and symptoms of uncontrolled sleep apnea on current therapy, positive airway presuure retitration is recommemded? 

What doe retitration mean?

It means that if your current pressure levels are not abating your apnea, your pressures will need to be changed.
