@mic1953 I did that test and turns out I was stopping breathing 19 timers per hour. I’ve advanced from a cpap to a bipap. With the bipap I average about 5 times per hour. Mike at cardiac rehab said he was stopping breathing 82 timers per hour per hour!! Geez.

@tjphillipp oh my . My pulmonologist has a sleep clinic . He tried to get me to take a test but , I can’t make myself go to his center . Maybe a home test . I wake up at night breathing through my mouth. Dry mouth . Cannula in nose blowing it dry . I will talk with him about it next appt . I had no idea that people could stop breathing that many times an hour . Yikes. I see now why it can be so damaging . Blessings for all , Crystalena
