New CPAP User

[Nemo48]

Greetings from Seattle. I'm a relatively new CPAP user (since this summer) and signed up today for the forum. I had a sleep study 15 years ago and did not have sleep apnea then. Because I have recently experienced excessive daytime sleepiness, I was given another sleep study and this time was diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. I look forward to learning more about CPAP techniques and insights from others here. I'm retired, age 75, and a reader, a cyclist and play piano. I am married with a daughter and a son and two young grandchildren.

Hi, welcome to the forum . Can you fill in your Profile with type of machine/model, etc and mask details please so we'll all know what you have when reading/advising... thanks. Once that's done we'll see what's what.

Let me add my welcome! How is PAP going for you? Are you feeling less sleepy during the day?

[Nemo48]

Thank you for your welcome, Yes, tiredness during the day has noticeably decreased and quality of sleep has increased. I use a Garmin fitness watch, which tracks sleep (I take this data as helpful to notice trends, but it is not as accurate as sleep study data)

Feel free to post a couple of Oscar charts (no calendar needed btw) but you may need to do it on e.g. Imgur.com with a link left in this thread because forum attachmts are full. Then people will help you interpret results and advise/suggest any changes that might need doing.

What is OSCAR and how do you use it?
