Is your machine data capable?

Pressure support. You mean EPR?

Yes. The difference between Inhalation and exhalation pressure. Different machines call it different names (EPR, PS, FLEX, A-FLEX, C-FLEX, ).

Restless and light sleep. It appears my ahi has been creeping up. I now see no OA but a bunch of CA. When I originally had my home sleep study they just found OA and no CA. Then your CA problem is either caused by treatment, or they are false and reflect arousals. I would vary the pressure support ...

Hi all Thanks for the replies. Not to be dramatic but seeing people genuinely trying to help and support actually made me cry- you can thank sleep deprivation for that, but it means a lot. Also I am on a mac and it often changes the words I type so sometimes things dont make sense, so sorry, will t...

If you had said that" in some cases a higher minimum pressure than you normally recommend" it would have been clear. Thanks for the suggestion but I won't use your sentence since it does not make any sense. Confusing. I think you understand the point - don't set the minimum pressure too low just be...

You should use sleepyhead to see what is going on. Setting the minimum pressure high enough can be very important, especially for people who need a pressure much higher than their normal pressure need. The sleep tech changed me to fixed and put me on 14, it didnt help so I upped it to 15.5 and whil...

Using pillows at a pressure 17-20 for eight years - perfect for me.

What is a pressure higher than their normal pressure need? Confusing perhaps so I will try to exp...

Thanks to all who responded. It makes me feel welcome, here.

Ok I will look into this sleepyhead thing, and see if I can post my results.

Cheers

If you want to succeed, you will do this. Your choice.

So I have had my CPAP (Phillips Respironics Dreamstation) for a little over a month now and due to constraints of needing to be in compliance have not slept with it yet since early attempts to do so always resulted in me knocking the mask off and waking up to .3 hours of time elapsed and needing to...

That looks like a real OA to me. I think you need more pressure.

I switched out the hose and it doesn't seem to be any better. I'm pretty sure the settings didn't get changed. I appreciate the suggestions! Here's my graphs from last night. 1.jpeg2.jpeg3.jpeg Zoom in and show us what a typical OA looks like. If it looks like a real OA event, then you need more pr...

Thanks all.

That is a lame update . Come on man, tell us how you are doing.

Trying to guess as to why your numbers have changed when you tell us nothing you know has changed is not proving useful.
My suggestion is that you post daily data from a recent night so we might be able to see how you can improve your treatment.
