Let me clear up my question. CPAP's are used to treat obstructed (OSA), hypopnea's and some central apnea's (CSA) using pressure, yes? But they don't provide oxygen? Well they do, but they don't right? Reason I'm asking....I have hypopnea's and shallow breathing. My AHI has never read over 1 every s...

I recently posted about my success with my CPAP, or APAP I guess. Most nights are somewhat uneventful, however occasionally I'll still wake up at 2-3am with some slight issue. I don't wake gasping for breath, but I wake up and it seems as if every time I wake I'm not taking a breath. My pillows are ...

Was this friend formally diagnosed with Sleep Apnea? BTW, I'm pretty sure he had it whether diagnosed or not.

No he was never diagnosed. I didn't know that he snored so bad his wife slept in a different room. That info came out after his funeral.

I'll try to be brief, but back in April I started using full mask with my AirSense 10. I HATED it. I've lived with Hypopnea for a couple of years and I would wake up at 2 or 3 or 4 am with my stomach in pain (from my diaphram locking up "that's my description"), blood pressure high, heart racing and...

OK thanks, I'll have time later tonight.

You know I awoke about 3:30 and noticed it a little bit but not enough for me to get up. Gosh, once a night. That's something I would not worry about. But, if you are very curious, here is a little trick. When this happens, turn your machine off, and then turn it back on. Or, let it AutoStart (reco...

Did you experience this? ---------> I'll wake up in the middle of the night, and all of a sudden I notice my heart rate is up, my BP as well. You know I awoke about 3:30 and noticed it a little bit but not enough for me to get up. I did feel like bumping up the min/max it pushed up the air a little ...

Increase your Min to 6 and your max to 15. You don't say what your AHI is , but these changes should reduce it.

I bumped up my Min and Max and my AHI last night was 0.00

Chicago Granny and LSAT....I completely understand what you're saying. However I have something that happens to me that nobody can figure out. My doctor doesn't seem too concerned about it, however it doesn't happen to him. I'll wake up in the middle of the night, and all of a sudden I notice my hea...

My AHI is usually 0.0 or .33 is about the highest. I've never seen it above 1. My SleepHead reports gives me very low RERA's, Hypopneas, and OSA's. However, I still will have 3 or 4 quick events per night.

I started using my ResMed AirSense10 in early April with a mask. Settings were 5-15, autoramp, and whatever else came with all the factory settings. I hated it. Pressure felt like it was shoving air in my face, I couldn't breathe calmly, blah, blah, blah. So I hardly used it and then after 6 weeks t...

I've had the EXACT same issue with waking up about 2:30-3:00 every night. My OSA are low and I'm a shallow breather, so I think I'm NOT getting enough air with my levels set a 4.8-11. I have mild hypopnea's. I'm going to up mine to 5.0-5.2 and see if it helps. It's been a long time since I've had a ...

I might add I wore the pillows after dinner just for a few minutes, hence you see the gap in use. I'm really wondering if there's something odd near the 2:30 am time that caused me to wake.

thanks

Thank you Pugsy

Here is a little more information as well as my sleep data from my FitBit.
