Good to see you again "littlebaddow". Hope all is well with you. Den I'm fine thank you. Don't visit very often these days, unless I want to check or ask something. Had other things on my mind recently, but heart issue under control and latest scans showed I'm currently cancer free :D :D Paul

Wow, thank you so much for the speedy and detailed responses. I have read and attempted to digest all of the information and the key messages I take from it are: 1. Everyone is different 2. The causes are complicated and it's likely to be a combination of them 3. If it's working, why change it Whils...

The headline is fixed pressure seems to be giving me better results than variable and I'm curious if others have similar experience. Some background. I've been a regular user since 2004, mostly using Remstar machines on variable pressure with excellent results, long term AHI below 1. Several things ...

Hello all Quick update and a question. My recovery from heart attack is progressing ok and there has also been a gradual improvement in effectiveness of my apnea treatment. Whilst my AHI has not settled back to pre-attack levels (typically around 1) the range is now typically 2 to 10 with monthly av...

Thank you for the replies. I've had several ECGs over the last couple of months, most recently a week ago as part of a pre-assessment for a minor surgical procedure as it will require a general anaesthetic. I don't know what the ejection fraction reading is or was, but I guess they would have flagge...

Thanks for the comment so far, an update and request for further observations please. There's certainly been an improvement, but still nights that concern me. I widened the pressure range on my machine by setting the max to 20cm on 22 Oct as suggested, this appears to have helped. I turned off the f...

ok I'll give it a try thanks.

I have to say that software is incredible, what a resource to have. Thanks to everyone involved in creating and maintaining it.

I'd describe it as disturbed sleep rather than awake during that period.

I'm still waiting for an appointment with the specialist who apparently is not doing face to face at the moment, will be speaking to the GP again tomorrow to try to progress it.

This shows the dramatic change after my heart attack on 20 Sep and another night in hospital 14 Oct with a suspected second attack, fortunately only angina.

As a comparison, this was the night before my heart attack

Here you go Pugsy, last nights results attached. There does now appear to be an improving trend, had a couple of nights with AHI below 5 before this one.

Rick, thank you for the quick, informative and reassuring reply and yes, you know where I am :D In response to your points: 1. Phew! 2. I'm currently taking an ACE inhibitor, 2 anti-platelets, a beta blocker and a statin, plus antibiotics for an infection, so I guess that cocktail could be having an...

Hi all. I need some advice please. I was diagnosed in 2004 and have been successfully using APAP ever since. My typical readings have been AHI around 1, 90% pressure around 8 and periodic breathing zero. I’ve generally been healthy, though do carry more weight than I should. In September I had a hea...

Can't give you a direct comparison but I've had 2 of the Remstar Auto C-flex machines. First one did approx 10,000 hours then expired. The second has done similar time and is still going, though I only keep it now as a spare as I got a new machine in December. If I recall earlier threads, yours is p...

Hey RestedRebel, I'm a newbie and trying to learn the numbers and stats. I'm on my 4th night and mine is slowly rising from 3.0 to 5.0, with CPAP of 10cm. My first sleep study, untreated, I was at 12/hr and the second sleep study on CPAP of 8cm lowered my AHI 8/hr. From what I'm understanding, The ...
