Re: How am I doing?

I am in remission from 2015 prostate cancer, so have been fighting bathroom issues for a while. I will wait for the doctor’s recommendations, but I am a take charge kind of patient so will want to know how to read the graphs and decide for myself what my treatment should be after considering all inp...

Re: How am I doing?

Pugsy - Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! Next on my CPAP todo list is to study up on how to read each of the graphs. As for getting up 3 times, they were bathroom visits. Before therapy started, I would wake up about every 2 hours to go to the bathroom. Not sure which was the chicken/egg, ...

Re: How am I doing?

Well alrighyty then... Thanks for the links, so I have loaded the SD card, run SH, seen the graphs (of which I understand nothing!) and ran imgur with the following result: https://imgur.com/a/084zu That should be a screen shot of my graphs from last night. I am a first time CPAP user, I am 74 years...

Re: How am I doing?

Ahaaa. Makes sense, but I will need to figure out how to get the SD card out, get the data into my computer, and for the first time work with sleepyhead, and then figure out how to get that data onto this thread. I know there are threads that deal with all of that, but I will just have to take the t...

How am I doing?

I am about 10 days into using a CPAP machine. I am using it about nine hours per night, but I am seeing 2 to 6 AHI events per hour. The doctor set my pressure at 8 to 10. I will be checking in with him for the first time in about a month and assume it may take some adjustments and time to get it dow...

Re: Wife unable to tolerate CPAP noise.... Help!!!!

I just started CPAP a week ago, so don’t have much experience with that to share, and I have a bedroom to myself. However, a career in sales over 30 years that meant lots of traveling, including internationally, led me to develop the following sleep habits which I think has made my initial CPAP expe...

Re: sleepyhead questions

Like most everyone else, I have settled on sleepyhead as the software of choice. Won’t even bother with ResSan, so you can sleep well tonight granny. Lol.

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies!

Re: sleepyhead questions

OK... it's a learning process. ResScan is not available for patients. And, only basic data is downloaded via wi fi, hence the need to use the SD card that captures all of the data. So, Sleepyhead it is.

Thanks Granny! I also just discovered ResMed does offer "ResScan" software which I will look into.

Re: sleepyhead questions

First, thanks for the responses. I do have MyAir loaded on my phone, but as Pugsy said it's just basically what is on the front of my machine so very basic info. So are you sleepyhead users taking the SD card out of your machine and downloading the data into your computers for SH to analyze? How oft...

sleepyhead questions

Just downloaded it (only 3 days of CPAP) so far. Is the SD card the only way to get data >>> sleepyhead? Say it ain't so. Really want wi fi support, and hopefully ipad/iphone support. All the charts and graphs look great, but I don't see myself dealing with the SD card every day. So if the SD card i...

First Timer here....

Hello all... Just diagnosed with OSA and got my CPAP machine three nights ago. So far, so good. My sleep study AHI was 98.6 per hour, so last night's 6.4 is quite an improvement. I used the machine for about 9 hours. I am tolerating the nasal pillows well, but it has only been a few nights so far. I...
