Re: Vital Sign Tracking Rings

I have a big CSA (Central Sleep Apnea) issue. In a nutshell I stop breathing altogether as soon as I fall asleep.

Re: Low AHI feels worse

I suggest not checking AHI until the end of day to make sure expectations aren't inadvertently coloring the perceived correlation. Wouldn't it be the other way around? You see a higher AHI which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy for "feeling worse"? Strange duck who sees a lower AHI and says, "Oh ...

When on CPAP, why would a low AHI—e.g. under 1—make one feel more tired and worse in the morning than a higher AHI—e.g. 2 or 3? This has been my experience.
You left out a key piece of information. What is the breakdown of those AHIs - clear airway/obstructive/hypopnea?

I was told when I began CPAP many years ago that I should skip it on nights when I had a cold or upper respiratory issue.

That's when a CPAP is most needed. Even a person who does not have sleep apnea can benefit from CPAP when he has a cold.

You receive bum advice.

Re: Tube cleaning

Hi Friends, Please suggest a brand name for the soap that is used to clean cpap tubings Thanks Jayshree As I understand your inquiry ("suggest a brand name"), you have developed a soap to clean CPAP tubes and are trying to come up with a good name for it. How about Goob's Tubes Rather Lather?

Sometimes, it is better to ask what worked instead of what didn't work. See Success Stories thread at the top of the first forum page.

I found many research articles investigating links between CPAP use and Salivary Gland Cancer.
I'm sorry for you if you really have cancer, but there is no link established between CPAP and salivary gland cancer.

Provide the links to those "many research articles"!
