My Sleep Study


by: DNSmith on Fri, Jun 15 2007

What I don’t understand about my sleep study results is the correlation between apnea events and oxygen saturation.

My diagnosis was mild obstructive apnea, yet my BO2 Saturation was similar with no CFlex when compared to the Cflex set on 10.

I have not gotten a good explanation of what is so harmful to the heart about Apnea which is not relatively associated with O2 deprevation.

Also, my study was in a bed whereas I sleep either in an elevated hospital bed or a recliner.

I have tried to use my Cflex but it is intolerable with nasal, oral or whole face masks.

I wake up more tired with the Cflex than with only the O2.
