Inadequate study: A true sleep study requires a collection of specialized gear and appropriate monitoring. The information you provided do not give any indication one way or the other on a problem.The reported oxygen level and heart rate are normal.

Sleep study: Unfortunately only 2 hours is NOT enough data to make a conclusion about sleep apnea. The 95 % on his oxygen is still within the normal limits as was his heart rate. What was the reason for the test only recording 2 hours of data?? I would repeat the test either at home or in a sleep lab if it was an equipment issue.

What is medically defined as normal blood oxygen range and heart rate range during sleep for adults?
HR is always within normal range, oxygen is perfect, heart rhythm is perfect. For some reason, though, I feel like my heart has been beating very HARD recently. Even when Im trying to go to sleep or Im just sitting down. Is this something serious?
