Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

As a result of your reply to my post, I started calling and emailing Philips and received the replacement CPAP ASV today.

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

I got the letter and don't know how to respond. The machine I have is now 4 years old. I registered on Philips site when the recall was announced, but haven't heard anything about a replacement. I've continued to use it with an in-line filter on the hose, which is working well. This filter gets dirt...

Periodic breathing and the Keto diet

After my first night on CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea, just over 10 years ago, my machine read 60% periodic breathing. After googling the term, I called my sleep doctor in a panic. He told me not to worry. I was 57 years old and only about 1,000 feet above sea level with no known heart problems, ...

Re: Very High CA/CSR - Very Low AHI

Thanks for sharing your story. I was diagnosed with OSA 6 years ago. My first night on the BIPAP machine showed 60% periodic breathing. The sleep technician and doctor both told me not to worry about it. I tried to follow their advice, but I had already googled it. Regular use of the machine reduced...

Re: 25% Periodic Breathing

Thanks for all of the responses. I see the cardiologist I met at the hospital on Monday and one of the top researchers in the heart condition I have now been diagnosed with in early February. I do believe that I was likely not in A-fib when I had my physical in September and my sleep study in Octobe...

25% Periodic Breathing

I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea 3 months ago and have been on BiPap since with minimal reductions in my level of fatigue. Over this time period my machine has recorded some nights with as much as 60% periodic breathing, 1 night where it was 0, with an average of just over 25% since I st...

Re: Tired: is it possible to get too much sleep?

Not according to my sleep doctor. I started BiPap 7 weeks ago. I am slightly less tired; still struggling to think and function but no longer worried about falling asleep driving to or from work. Ironically, the days when I think I slept well and have the lowest AHI and periodic breathing, I feel th...

Re: Sleepyhead can't find data on SD card

I have seen many posts about a SleepyHead patch for the Mac, but haven't yet managed to find one. When I first hear of SleepyHead I found the 9.2-2 version for the Mac, and found it didn't read the data from my System One Remstar BiPap Auto 750P. After more searching I found a 9.2-3 version that rea...

Re: Should I be worried?

I have not been able to find anything more current than the Mac version of SleepyHead that I have. But I have been able to install the Windows version on an old XP machine and it works as expected. It is helpful to see that after the first night my obstructive AHI's have been .6 or less and that the...

Re: Should I be worried?

I read through all of the definitions on SleepyHead a couple of times and believe I understand most of the terms. I am even more confused. This morning my BIPAP's readout said 3.9 AHI, 0% leaks, and 12% periodic breathing, which is about as good a night as I have had in the 8 nights I have been on t...

Re: Should I be worried?

Thanks Pugsy, Your reply did more to help me sleep than my machine! My graph looks like this: http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae355/dankoziolek/ScreenShot2013-10-29at72629PM_zpscffd6ba5.png Aside from the first night, I generally wake up once or twice a night, most of the time fall back to sleep ...

Should I be worried?

I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea 6 days ago. I started on a BIPAP machine that night. I have used it all night every night since. My 6 day average for AHI is 6.4, large leak is 3% and periodic breathing is 28%. I had 2 nights with an AHI<5. I started importing the data into SleepyHead an...
