Oh wait oh my god no I was wrong, I looked into the hypopneas for another time (before when I was adjusting it, while I slept I had 19 total hypopneas (it says 26 but 7 are from before sleeping) and one obstructive event at 4 am?? Does this mean the machine is not working properly? Uploaded the hypopnea / obstructive event data below right click where it says image and click open image in a new tab. Also when the imgur link opens click on the image to enlarge it so it can be viewed very clearly. This is pretty scary I'm not sure if the machine is working properly then if I have had all these events haha.coopbosses wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 3:57 amHi Em, I downloaded the OSCAR software as you suggested and loaded the data from the SD card, with the data it is only valid from around 11:20pm to 5:42am since I had the mask on for a couple hours before falling asleep. How does the data look? All the hypopneas by the way are from before falling asleepMiss Emerita wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 11:53 amCoopbosses, you are most certainly among supporters here! It is painful to read about the reactions of the people you know. Would it help them to read information from a trusted source, perhaps like this:

I'm not overweight myself, and I have moderate apnea. It's a condition that may be more prevalent in some demographics than others, but it can be found in any subgroup of people. And it has bad effects, not only day to day, but also on your long-term health.
I think it's really impressive you have taken such an active role in your health care: putting clues together, recording yourself at night, getting that sleep study, and now working on getting your treatment up and running.
There's an additional step you could take, if you have access to a laptop or desktop computer. That would be to download the free Oscar software and import data from your machine's SD card. (You can get a cheap one if you don't have one in there.) Does this sound like a step you might take? Here's a link:

Tell us how it went last night. We might be able to offer some suggestions for accelerating your adaptation. Meanwhile, hang in there!
However, we don't consider that you're doing well until your AHIs are below 2 or 3, with other factors being taken into account. We don't expect you to have '0' every day of course, but closer to 1 or 2 is 'normal' in terms of doing well. It all depends (like everything else).
