Breathing anomalies indicate reductions or pauses in breathing during sleep. Most people experience a few episodes during sleep, without negative effect on health. If you have any concerns, you should always talk to your doctor.
You can view each individual Breathing Anomaly, represented by the red dots below the blue Breath Rate line, in the Sleep tab in the Fullpower® Sleep app. You are able to view the duration of each Breathing Anomaly by tapping on each red dot. Alternatively, you can hold your finger anywhere in the Breath Rate graph, glide it across the graph (left or right), and pause over a Breathing Anomaly event you’d like to view. Furthermore, after you tap and hold somewhere in the graph, you can move your finger off the Breath Rate graph entirely (while still holding) and still be able to pan left and right — this will make it easier to see the graph while you're panning across it.
Keep in mind, Breathing Anomalies do not correlate to the numbers on the y-axis, as the y-axis is the Breath Rate value for the breath rate line.
In the Breathing Anomaly Index, your Breathing Anomalies are categorized by "Normal", "Mild", "Moderate", and "High", which are relative to the population. A few episodes are natural, but if you have any concerns, you should talk to your doctor. The Breathing Anomaly Index is available for nights when you sleep at least 4 hours.
Breathing Anomalies are currently only viewable in the Fullpower® Sleep app, not in the daily sleep report emails.
