What is your APAP pressure range?
This message will be a bit disjoined because I think I'm starting to have a pain from a kidney stone that wants to start passing. Gotta distract myself. Anyhow, my first doc tested me because I had fibromyalgia. My HIA score was 35. I'd always slept 7 hours straight all the time so didn't know I had it. The pressure range I've been using was 7-11 or so. I had a home sleep apnea test, but the first time I failed (they said no data -- machine wasn't hook up properly or something else, can't remember).
For a couple of weeks I've raised the head of the bed 20 degrees because of GERD, but I also using the CPAP, yet I still have to take naps because I'm sleepy. If sleeping at an angle without wearing a CPAP would work, I'd love it. Trying all this headgear for years has been hell. I've always been a mouth breather and deep down inside I think mouth breathers should continue breathing through the mouth because trying to re-train is unnatural so less restful.
Since there's no one who can tell me how I'm sleeping, maybe I can record myself using my phone OR maybe there's an app?
