I did not change my pressure because I know if a pressure is too high it can cause central’s. I turned off ramp and changed to a larger size mask (mine is the nasal cradle mask). I’m still wondering what I should set the tubing temp and humidity at, I have them both on auto and it just feels too ho...

Have the same cpap machine as you, also get the sensation that I cannot breath after about 30 mins to an hour of having the machine on. Starting pressure of 4. I think I'll take some of the suggestions in this forum and increase my starting pressure to around 10ish and see if that helps? Did you try...

Early AirSense 10 AutoSets didn't have the soft or standard response. I know because I have one.
If you don't see it...you don't have it. Don't worry about it.

How do you check if you have an early model?

Update: Hey ya'll hope you guys have been having good night rests. I fell asleep last night with the mask but once again took it off an hour into my sleep without realizing. Trying the methods you guys suggested tonight to not remove it while sleeping without consciously knowing and hopefully will g...

The struggle is real. I have also encountered issues wearing my CPAP. I stopped wearing it for some time due to the issues I had with it. My main impediment is ever since I got out of the Army I have become claustrophobic, and I find myself needing to take my mask off in the middle of the night in ...

Update: tonight due to commitments i won't be able to sleep much and only able to get 4ish hours of sleep tonight, but I will be sure to keep the cpap on for this sleep. I'll see the results and see if 4 hours can show anything, however the next time I sleep I will be able to get a proper 8+ hour sl...

Ok cool, the next time I'll come back to this comment and hopefully get it right haha. I'm not experienced with forums at all so never used this format before but thank you for the guide. hat-tip.gif no problem. i can tell from this thread already that you are going to do fine in your apnea therapy...

Hi again, and again, relax. Everything will be fine, but not all at once, which is normal. Taking off the mask is normal for very many people, but they eventually stop doing that. You could work on getting your sleep 'hygiene' fixed up... i.e. go to bed at the same time every night... ahem. And don...

You're getting good advice here. It will be good to see some more Oscar data from you before suggesting any tweaks to your settings. As people have said, taking the mask off without remembering it is pretty common, so you have company there. The tape trick is a good one; another is to wear mittens ...

Don't go changing anything in terms of pressure settings until you have some solid blocks of real sleep to evaluate your pressure needs. Awake time or stuff flagged while awake doesn't count. The machine doesn't have any way to know if you are asleep or not. Awake breathing is very irregular when c...

Congrats on your first night making it through with CPAP therapy. As you've seen, sleep apnea isn't just an "old person disease" or necessarily tied to obesity. I was pretty fit when I got my diagnosis at 34 years old. 5'8", 173 lbs, and working out with heavy weights at least three times a week. N...

Oh! You did it! And it looks so normal :D ! Nothing especially 'bad' at all, and over time it should get better (under 2-3). What I would suggest is to raise the max pressure setting (now 12) to 20, which is more usual and less limiting to the min. that may want to go higher than 12 on occasion, pl...

Ok guys I'm headed to sleep with the CPAP for the second night in a row, it is currently 12am. I really couldn't have done this or be doing this without your guys' support so I really appreciate you guys :) Thanks so much for all the help you've given it's made this much more easier to understand. ...

I hope you're having a good sleep, coopbosses, and congrats on making it through the night, plus getting Oscar up and running. You're really something! I could see the imgur image of your Oscar daily report. You may already know this, but just in case.... Hypopneas are partial obstructions of your ...
