Re: Help interpreting Oscar data - still tired....in the UK

Hello, I thought I would post an update. My doctor agreed to increase my minimum pressure to 5 (so the pressure range is between 5 and 15) but would not increase it any further due to my data indicating that I was rarely reaching beyond a pressure of 5 during sleep. Since then I have also bought a f...

Re: Help interpreting Oscar data - still tired....in the UK

Thank you for your response. Please see my responses: - My home sleep study was WatchPAT and my result was around 14/15 (from memory), so in the higher end of mild / the lower end of moderate - Yes I cannot understand my results: very good, only goes up to 5 cm a few times, yet it is having no impac...

Re: Help interpreting Oscar data - still tired....in the UK

"As someone fairly new to this, am I not getting sufficiently restful sleep because my EPR is so high and it's impacting on the effectiveness of my pressure, given that my pressure will be on a default of 4? If the AHI is so low is it that the pressure is not comfortable which may be affecting my s...

Re: Help interpreting Oscar data - still tired

I agree with Julie. Getting the comfort benefits of EPR might help you sleep more restfully. At your present settings, you're not getting that. With EPR of 3, which is already your setting, your minimum needs to be at least 7, since 4 is the lowest the machine will go. You can change the pressures ...

Re: Help interpreting Oscar data - still tired

Hi - the first thing I'd do is raise your min. setting to e.g. 6 or 7 for a few nights and see if it helps (4 is close to useless for most), then come back to this thread and let us know how it's going. Thanks for your reply. I was given this by my hospital so they are in charge of the pressure, bu...

Help interpreting Oscar data - still tired....in the UK

Hello, I have been using a Resmed Airsense 10 for a couple of months now. I'm not really finding that it has made much difference to my unrefreshing sleep/daytime tiredness even though my AHI results are great and almost entirely below 1. I am due a further sleep study to see if restless legs/PLMD m...
