I ve used a CPAP for years, and have had my new machine for about 1 or 2 years. It s a DreamStation, and it has never recorded any episodes of periodic breathing until last night. It read 3%. What exactly is periodic breathing? Should I tell my PCP?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you explain the history I think you better consult your primary care physician because this is a technical parameter, don't worry of you are clinically stable.
