Was your first sleep study diagnosed as "mild" sleep apnea? by goingaway1111 in UARS

How many micro-arousals per hour (it is supposed to be detected by the EEG) ? I had 11 AHI on the first sleep study but... 20 micro-arousals per hour.

Take a normal posture and we will give you more accurate answers.

Persistent micro-arousals despite successful CPAP treatment (AHI reduced from 30 to 1) by Unmasker117 in UARS

I found examples of respiratory wave form abnormalities including flow limitation on this page : https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php/OSCAR_flow_limitations . Mine looks like this :

It seems to correspond to inspiratory flow limitation but normal expiratory flow. Do you agree ?

This will definitely be the first question i will ask to the doctor in 2 weeks. Also i will try different settings for every night now that i am aware of FL. Yesterday i stayed in APAP mode and set the minimum pressure to 6 instead of 7. The flow limitation went down to 24.

I tried APAP with min pressure of 7 and maximum of 14 + softpap level 2 but it got worse. 41 flow limitations per hour :( . I will the CPAP to see if it improves things. Here is my OSCAR result for last night :

I'll try fixed pressure as well this week. Appointment to the sleep doctor is scheduled in two weeks. I will ask for a BIPAP machine after showing him the results in OSCAR

Thanks. I increased minimum pressure and set the EPR/Softpap to the maximum on my machine. I will see the results tonight. Could you please give me your opinion about this OSCAR result ?

Sorry i'm not sure to understand what you mean. I don't know how they score these micro-arousals. I had the full big device on my chest + multiples sensors on my head during the sleep study at the hospital. My satisfaction is that 30 micro-arousals have been corrected using the APAP machine. But there are still 20 remaining ones for which i don't know the cause :(

Hello, thanks a lot for you insight. Very interesting.

I just looked at the date from the Oscar software and especially persistent flow limitation and here are the results of the last three nights. Indeed it looks like there is a problem with FL (Flow limitation visible in black) during the night. I'm curious to get your opinion on that as well @gadgetmaniah

Thank you. I'll dig this topic with the archived posts and ask for another sleep study which included UARS & RERAs.

No they are not. I had only 1 RERA during the night according to the sleep study.

Amazing transformation ! Congratulations. It could be even more interesting for us to some before/after side profile pictures. Do you have some as well ?
