I agree with the posts saying most are of little to no value, maybe even negative considering anxiety from monitoring. I think a decent proxy for obstructions is a good pulse oximeter.
I would also recommend getting your vitamin D levels checked. The normal range is far below what you should be at from my experience. 60-80ng/ml is an ideal range ("normal" from my lab is anywhere from 30-100) from what I've read. Can start supplementing and seeing if it helps.

- fossuser 7y ago60-80? That seems high - I don't think you could be at that without taking a lot of supplements every day. I think 30 is the lab normal (and it was recently raised to 30 from 20) - though a lot of people are below that when tested.
- narak 7y agoRecent research (as in the last 10 years) seems to suggest that current RDI is at least an order of magnitude lower than it should be. I have no medical background, but anecdotally, it has helped my sleep a lot. I'm generally a supplement skeptic, but currently taking 6k IU a day.
- samatman 7y agoThere's no guarantee that the optimum Vitamin D level is one that the skin can synthesize under even optimal conditions. It might be. But it could also be more.
- fossuser 7y agoSure - I’m just skeptical that the optimal level is one you could never get without a lot of supplements. Doesn’t mean that isn’t true, but I’d need more to be persuaded.
