Do you recommend that I buy an Oximeter ?

Not sure I need an Oximeter. My AHI has dropped from 33 to around 7 - 8.

Caregiver is giving me an oximeter to get readings for one night.

Wondering if it is advisable to just buy one and monitor it several times a week ?

thank you for any feedback !

Hi dmypub

My view is that knowledge is better than ignorance unless it causes you more stress.

I bought one of these recently and it seems to be reasonably accurate in the things I can cross reference.

It's only a toy but more fun than just an oximeter. (It downloads to Linkself which is available in android and apple)

If you buy an oximeter I would be sure to get one that is compatible with SleepyHead. See this info:

That said is your machine capable of saving data and viewing it in SleepyHead? That may tell you a lot more than an Oximeter will.

My wife uses a F&P Brevida nasal pillow mask and started mouth taping on Nov 14. See last night's results for an example. Leaks are down to essentially zero.

And she has had a signficant reduction in OA events (light blue in bar chart below) since Nov 14 as well.

My hope is that the Swift FX nasal pillow will be better still for me. It is rated up to 20 cm. But, that said it is in the mail, so I have no evidence of what it will do yet.
