Re: Help. New using CPAP with no positive results

Hi Pugsy, The last two nights have been bad. I can't stand the constant fluctuation of pressure, it wakes up all the time. Last night, after two hours dealing with these problems, I decided to change the settings from autopap to cpap at a pressure of 11.4. This new setting allowed me to sleep for 4 ...

Re: Help. New using CPAP with no positive results

So my thoughts are at least 10 cm minimum and max of 20. You might need more minimum but jumping from 6.5 to 10 is a substantial jump and you might have some comfort issues with that big of a jump. Look at your pressure graph....the bulk of the time you are up there anyway and the FL graph is still ...

Re: Help. New using CPAP with no positive results

Thank you for your help. I am going to adjust my setting following your suggestions. Should I set the EPR on of off? I ask you about this because when using the original settings (5 to 15) I had the EPR on and the number of events was even higher than now. I am not sure if the recommendation is to ...

Any suggestions regarding adjusting the settings of the machine? I learned how to adjust the clinical settings by myself.
Min 12, max 20.
Thank you for your answer! I will make adjustments tonight.

Re: Help. New using CPAP with no positive results

I am not having any nasal congestion. I use the Philips Respironics Dreamwear nasal pillows and I tape my mouth in order to prevent the air come out through my mouth. At the beginning I had this problem, the flow of air was coming out of my mouth when my jaw relaxed. I tried to use a chinstrap, but ...
