Re: AHI under control, still feel terrible

Okay friends, so Im back again after a few days with some more charts and insight. Last week I bumped my pressure up a touch and had what so far was some of the best sleep I've gotten yet since this CPAP expedition began. I was on 7.2 cm pressure, and EPR 2. My AHI was .5 max or lower (.2). On the n...

Re: AHI under control, still feel terrible

So I kept the settings the same last night. Had to get up to pee and didn't feel like I was able to sleep well past that point. Machine went down to 4 again because of the ramp setting, and for some reason my mouth would fill up with air at times even though I had it taped up. AHI went up a bit and ...

Re: AHI under control, still feel terrible

So I raised my pressure a bit up to 7.0, kept the EPR at 1, and taped my mouth shut. Also did not wake up to pee in the middle of the night. Feeling pretty good today for once. Should I continue to raise pressure slowly and tweak the EPR? Here is my Oscar screenshot for the night, what do you guys ...

Re: AHI under control, still feel terrible

Are you experiencing any nasal congestion at night? Do you take any medications of any kind? If so, what? Any other physical or mental health issues going on? How many hours of real sleep (not just laying in bed) are you getting on average? Are those hours fragmented with very many wake ups? Are th...

Re: AHI under control, still feel terrible

Definitely try to get the leaks under control first since it can really throw the quality of the data. You may want to work on bumping up your minimum pressure to try to reduce the flow limitations. Bump the pressure 1/2 to 1 cm and sleep a few nights and then review data. Lowering the top end of t...

Ive been on it for a little over a month now and like most people have yet to feel a breakthrough in regards to fatigue. About 3 months ago I took a lofta sleep test because I had been feeling so exhaust...
