Here's a photo.
@knoles78 What kind of test was it? It doesn't look familiar to me.
@aard its a ring I wear at night to monitor 02 and heart rate it links to my phone.
@knoles78 Okay, I have no idea. Hopefully someone else can weigh in to help.
All the best!
@aard I can see frequent drops in O2 Saturation which is most often a clear sign of obstructive or central sleep apnea. Do you awaken on your back often? Try to sleep more on your side. Wearing a pillow at your back, some put a tennis ball there in the small of your back, prevents you from rolling onto your back (supine). But you may actually need a proper sleep study to determine if you would have vastly improved sleep using a CPAP machine.

6 ReactionsThanks. Im so over this
@gloaming has the right idea.
I had a sleep study with results so bad the doctor was outright horrified. I got a CPAP machine and it saved my life. That was 27 years ago.
By all means, get a sleep study done. You may not know what you're missing.
