Well, my AHI is 8 and I'm getting a new cpap machine.

My former RDI was 15.3 so they think my apnea has improved.

Looking for a new sleep doctor to purchase machine and set it up.

Congrats on getting a machine! Be sure to come back here for help with settings and such.

Here's some stuff from SleepHQ Trend data: https://sleephq.com/public/6a8d9ee7-3159-4cb9-9a60-e2234d7be213 Last several days: https://sleephq.com/public/4d1b5b83-9f83-4cbe-ae54-69fd7f1fbd46 https://sleephq.com/public/4fe70036-4091-4c0e-8025-4f07b7c4fa5e https://sleephq.com/public/3debe527-c7f6-4bb8-...

So, if the machine thinks it's a central, does it ignore the event? These machines can't treat or deal with central apneas unless you have one of the special machines like the ASV. Your machine can't do anything with central apneas so it won't even try. More pressure won't/can't force you to breath...

This is a bit of a tangent, but I wonder about this. For some reason I overslept, right through my dawn clock and woke feeling very anxious, like the bad old days before CPAP when I woke with extreme, debilitating anxiety every morning. I looked at my chart. It shows erratic breathing, a central, an...

Yup, only BCBS can give a definitive answer about BCBS.

FYI: My insurance let me re-try twice without much trouble, not even a new sleep test. My provider seemed to know what to file, basically that the machine was medically necessary, I believe.

Maybe my OSCAR needs updating. I will ask one of my millennials about that, whichever I see first! Or maybe I should wait for the one with the Mac.

I've had 2 very bad sleep nights in a row. I even took a sleeping pill and still had trouble falling asleep. Back at the beginning of this I took prescribed sleeping pills for awhile because my brain would not accept the mask when I was lying down. I felt perfectly fine in the daytime when I was "pr...

I can't figure out how to get that window to pop up.

Put your mouse cursor on the vertical numbers in the flow chart, that should open the gray pop up.
Then click on the text that says Y-axis

Change your scale to Min =-77 and Max =77

It doesn't work.

It's not exhaling is going down and inhaling is going up?

I probably did something wrong.

What does the red line represent?

No, I don't think so. I keep a sleep/medical log of anything unusual or if I change a setting. There was nothing for this day, so just a typical day and night, no setting changes. I had been creeping my minimum up for awhile. Pressure range was 10-12, but I had been at that for awhile with some much...

I am a newbie with no knowledge of how to interpret charts, but I will share with you my experience with oral appliances. My family also has narrow palates and at least one of us, my younger sister, was told she has a fat tongue. She has been successfully using CPAP and is very happy with the result...

Or this?
