Re: sleep study, what does it all mean?
Short version: This is all very confusing. I think we can get some clarity if you can upload images of all of your sleep studies and a few nights of SleepHQ. I ask about OSA diagnosis because my last 3 sleep studies diagnosed me as having UARS I usually have a bunch of RERAs that they never mentione...

Re: general question about flow limitations
I would also argue that EDS would be generally related to the severity of the RERA Index (i.e., not possible that @4.9 you're fine, @5.1 you're completely debilitated).
But hey, what do I know? I'm just a retired HCW who only visits Upstate New York.

Re: general question about flow limitations
...you agreed with LL. Not necessarily with Jason, but rather the definition of RERA, which comes from Da Rules: If electing to score respiratory effort-related arousals, score a respiratory event as a respiratory effort-related arousal (RERA) if there is a sequence of breaths lasting ≥ 10 seconds ...

Re: general question about flow limitations
It is only fair for you to provide a clarifying answer. Well, life's not fair now, is it? The larger issue (as I see it) is that people look at the definition of UARS, see "an RDI <5" and nothing else and think they're going to solve all their problems with a CPAP machine. After years of xPAP thera...

Re: sleep study, what does it all mean?
Do I have OSA? That depends. If I say "no" will you go ballistic? Are you wishing you have OSA because that would explain all your issues and provide you with a convenient solution? Your slow wave sleep numbers are confusing. Previous results showed virtually none. Now you have tons. Your sleep eff...

Move the Pressure waveform under the Flow waveform and repost your examples.

Re: I am a nervous wreck
Maybe this mechanism would be more the relevant one for the OP... Yeah, probably not. FoF only lasts as long as the threat is present +45 minutes or so. If the OP is constantly in a life-threatening threat every/all day, probably needs to move out of that neighborhood. The first question I would as...

Re: I am a nervous wreck
Yeah but in insulin resistance your glucose is normal or high. If one is hypoglycemic then they aren't insulin resistant. AAMOF they would be insulin super un-resistant.

Re: general question about flow limitations
EDIT: Leaving this thread. I do not like arguments with snarky comments. Well that's quite a luxury to be able to be that discerning. I was just hoping for a general answer to the significance of flow limitations, but there doesn't seem to be a simple answer. There is, and it's clear that the one o...

Oh really?
In what way?
So Lanky Lefty must be right.
