Hi All, I'm looking to get a new CPAP, as my old one has had a relatively hard life and it's time for a refresh. As per the subject I travel a lot, and my current CPAP is big and clunky, and often gets left at home because just one more bag is just one more hassle. I've researched a little, and aske...

Hi Guys. One of the main reasons I got a sleep study and CPAP originally was because my snoring was keeping everyone in the house awake. I've now had my CPAP exactly a year to the day; my AHI (according to sleepyhead is less than 1 almost every night and never goes above 3 anymore, so from an apnea ...

Wow....your leak line hardly fluctuated. Great job. It gets soooo much better and easier. I'm on Day 51 Yeah.. the blip was an itchy nose that I couldn't "think away", I suspect some of the other unscheduled awakenings shown there were from the same itch.. .it bothered me several times last night a...

Thanks Pugsy, I have the right equipment in there now, but the machine doesn't show for some reason, never has since I first tried putting a machine in there

As you can see below... after getting used to the contraption; Adjusting the face mask to minimise leaks, readjusting to sleeping on my back, etc, etc I've seen significant improvements. If this continues for another week or two my brain might actually start working again!! Thanks everyone for your ...

Thanks for all the welcomes guys!!... I'm glad that everyone here is so happy to share.... glad to say that I'll not be suffering any of the negative emotions that are commonly mentioned here with regards to discomfort or stigma. Quite the opposite, I started my adult life with an above average IQ a...

Do I need to worry about Tidal Volume?

There's definitely a pattern, my wife tells me that between 04:00 and 05:30 almost every night I go through the same thing....before the machine my wife called it the jackhammer meets rooting piggy phase. I guess this could be REM... I have no way of knowing, I only entered REM briefly during the sl...

OK... let's see if this works.....

Thanks Pugsy... which graphs should I post, which are most useful to me and others?

Thanks for the mask tip... I'll take a look at that once I figure out if I'm leaking?! As for making heads or tails of the data, I have the following AHI data: 10th - AHI 14.55 / H 8.16 / OA 5.92 / RERA 0.64 / PBCSR 1.07% / Clear Airway 0.48 11th - AHI 15.66 / H 6.00 / OA 9.00 / RERA 4.96 / PBCSR 2....

OK, I can post them in here I guess??

Is there some fancy way of getting the graphs an/or information out of the software, or will I need to use some kind of magical screen grabbery?

Forget that, I now have the imported data (I was trying to be too clever)

Now all I need is someone to read the data for me, or teach me how to??

Regards

Tony

Thanks for the pointers for the Sleepyhead software.....

I have it installed, have downloaded the Series 60 patch which also seems to be running, have popped the SD out of the CPAP, but I don't seem to be able to get it to import any data... all help gratefully received.

Tony.

Glad to have you here.

Thanks, I just wish that the doc had warned me that I'd feel a lot worse before I felt better, I could've warned the family in advance!
