Sleep apnea and Low O2 levels at night.

[myboys]

I recently lost 40 pounds. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea a yr ago. I did and overnight study to see if my sleep apnea has gotten better. My O2 levels at night continue to have major desaturations. The number of desaturations during the test were 87. 232 mins under 90, 16 mins under 85 and 148 mis under 89%. There were 66 hypopneas. These seem very low, my sleep doc thinks it's lung rleated and I'm waiting tohear from my Pulm Doc.  Do these seem low enough for O2 thearpy at night? I have had CHF and a stroke in 90 following the birth of my son.

Thank-you
