Congrats on the weight loss! Sorry it wasn't a great night, but the AHI is a little better, it seems. I'd say stick with 8.5 for at least a few more days and then post a chart so we can take a look. I hope that with time it'll be easier for you to stay off your back. heres my bad night from the nig...

So first two nights of 8.5 I had a 2.8 and a 2.4, then yesterday had few drinks for anniversary, went to bed, awful nights sleep in an uncomfortable bed in hotel, boiling room, woke at 3:30 for toilet machine was showing 1.4........ woke at 9am it was on 4.8 so ‍♂️‍♂️‍♂️

I'd like to return to the fact that you've regained weight. That may mean that you need to increase your pressure to treat obstructive events adequately. Again, I'd recommend increasing your pressure gradually, .5 cm at a time, with at least a few days at each setting. Think of this as an experimen...

Unless you had a sleep study where they also measured if you are actually asleep and the sleep stages and the apneas in each stage you have no way to know if your OSA is worse in REM or not but it is very common. There are home studies that do record sleep stages but they aren't normally done as a ...

Well it might be more than just reduced anxiety. IF....big IF I know but if your OSA is indeed worse in REM sleep then when you have alcohol it messes with the sleep cycles and you don't get into much (if any REM) and that would explain why the low AHI seems to be associated with alcohol. https://w...

Ahhh...you are in the UK. They do things a bit differently over there compared to here in the US. I am going to change your topic to get the attention of a UK forum member to help out. Get his input as to your potential options. And you had a home study. Did you just wear a little gadget on your fi...

Just read about narcolepsy aswell, which involves waking a lot through the night

You know I am thinking that with the increase in weight and maybe just our old friend Mother Nature of getting older you just need more pressure than you are getting to deal with your original problem of mild OSA and maybe it isn't so mild now. Maybe your problem isn't UARS but just plain old OSA n...

last nights

So how do you differentiate between UARS and OSA?? Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the data available from the cpap machine and the software? Or are you talking more about in general? We can't see UARS on the data that a cpap machine gathers for the most part. We can maybe see evidenc...

So how do you differentiate between UARS and OSA??

Other people will have more expertise than I do, but I'd say these events are SWJ. The breathes with the greater flow-rate amplitude are the give-away, I think. At least on my graphs, that's a sure indication that I've experienced an arousal, maybe waking all the way up, maybe just moving out of de...

so im trying to keep an eye on my ahi and have had logts of great help here, especially from pugsy trying to understand the graphs, last few nights have been quite ugly on the graphs, las night getting a 4.8, i woke this morning feeling quite refreshed i thought, so i took a look at the results. my ...

Hyponeas aren't always so easy to tell but if you look at the breathing prior to the flag it should give you a good idea. Also remember....you can have a real asleep event as the first flag and then that event causes the arousal and subsequent false positive flags are related to the first event cau...
