Need help!

I have started cpap over a month ago having so much trouble .. I am having all central Apenas they lower my pressure from 6-15 to 7-10. Still not doing good still having centrals .. can someone please help me figure this out .. what’s going on

Most people get some centrals from time to time. It's no big deal......Do you know what a Central Apnea is? How many are you getting? What is your AHI? I have been on CPAP for 15 years and still get several centrals during the night. My average AHI is 2+.

I been getting like 15 a night last 2 nights before it was 6 one night it was 1 .. just concern I am getting these so many a night

15 centrals over 8 hours is not so many. Which model machine are you using? Are you using OSCAR? Have you looked to see how many seconds the centrals last?

How are you feeling during the day? Energetic? No excess sleepiness? Fatigued at bedtime but not stressed?

Can you post an OSCAR chart in this thread? Instructions are in my signature.

How was your sleep quality? If you weren't asleep when those centrals were flagged they only mean you weren't asleep.
If you aren't asleep they don't really mean much.

See all these centrals on this image. I know for a fact I wasn't asleep when they were flagged because I had a bought of really bad insomnia that night.

I would bet that the centrals are like mine and related to not being asleep and the feeling crappy is related to poor sleep or not enough sleep.

You can use SleepHQ and that would allow us to zoom in on those centrals to see if you were asleep or not.
Or you can do a lot of zoomed in images using OSCAR.
The big overview OSCAR image doesn't let us see the flow rate zoomed in enough to see the breathing in detail enough to determine asleep or awake.

So being awake can cause this type of reading? It kinda makes sense cause I wake up all night long .. I try and use sleep HQ .. where can I find that?
