Re: ResMed Autoset 11 Settings Optimization
I will look into the EPR settings once I find out what adequate pressure levels to use that don't trigger aerophagia - I think I need some more data first. I am also looking into trying out a nasal mask, as I primarily breathe through the nose, and since I am not sure if FFM can be worse for aeropha...

Re: ResMed Autoset 11 Settings Optimization
4/3 Oscar Report: https://imgur.com/yzkOcgc 4/3's sleep wasn't that great as I kept waking up due to burping/air bubbles, and I still have acid reflux symptoms. However, I got a better AHI score than the past few days (0.69). For last night I wore a chin strap, changed the min pressure to 4 and capp...

Re: ResMed Autoset 11 Settings Optimization
Sleep...primary goal....aerophagia messes with sleep and that's bad news. What we have to try to figure out it settings that do a decent job preventing your airway collapses AND don't open the door for the aerophagia monster to sneak in and mess with your sleep and how your belly feels. Right now w...

Re: ResMed Autoset 11 Settings Optimization
If 7 is a problem for you...drop it to 6 or 5 or go back to 4. Sleep is your primary goal.....without sleep none of the other data really means all that much does it? EPR helps reduce flow limitations though...and FLs are a big driving force for increasing the pressure so using EPR will often lesse...

Re: ResMed Autoset 11 Settings Optimization
Cross your fingers that it was the pressure pushing 14 that was feeding the aerophagia monster and not the 7 cm minimum because you need the minimum for the OAs and hyponeas. If it were me....I would limit the maximum to 10 and see if that stops the aerophagia issues or not. I will try capping max ...

Re: ResMed Autoset 11 Settings Optimization
Thanks for the suggestion and clarification. Before I share the results of last night's sleep report, here is some further context that I forgot to add. On 3/31, my AHI was low using the default settings (0.31). The next night on 4/1, it got considerably worse AHI (4.16), and this day was when I sta...

Re: ResMed Autoset 11 Settings Optimization
Thanks for the helpful analysis. Since you mentioned changes taking multiple nights in order to adjust, do you recommend staying at the current 4 min pressure with 3 EPR for 2-3 days before going to 7 min with 3 EPR? Or should I just try out 7 min and 3 EPR at the soonest chance? As for capping the ...

ResMed Autoset 11 Settings Optimization
Hello all, I'm reaching out to the community for some guidance on optimizing the settings on my ResMed Autoset 11 CPAP machine. I've recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea and I'm using it in APAP mode with the prescribed default settings of 4 min and 20 max pressure, no ramp setting. I'm also usi...
