Re: Dreamstation Puff vs Resmed No-Puff?

Hi Pugsy! Here is my data for the past week. If you happen to have a chance to have a look at it and let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it! And please let me know if you want any zoomed shots of anything. Screen Shot 2021-07-28 at 11.21.10 PM.png Screen Shot 2021-07-28 at 11.21.16 PM.png Scr...

Re: Resmed AirCurve 10 ASV for sale

I may be interested as well. I'm still figuring out my needs though, and it be overkill for me. But it's an amazing deal and I would definitely consider it if you don't have anyone else who wants it right now. :)

Re: New CPAP and Alcoholic

Very limited experience for me so far with CPAP, but after having too much to drink a few weeks ago, I found it was actually very helpful for feeling good the next morning. The positive air pressure made it really easy to take full deep breaths (even upon waking). Waking up hungover generally isn't ...

Re: Dreamstation Puff vs Resmed No-Puff?

Thank you Pugsy!! This is very very helpful. I am keeping my settings the same, and will post some more data in the next week when I have more to go by. :) I might be becoming a bit too affectionate with my Airsense, and the wife is starting to look a bit jealous of all the time we spend together in...

Re: Dreamstation Puff vs Resmed No-Puff?

Wow, I didn't even consider that I might be waking up, but I can see it by the graph's shape now! So would a true central apnea go right from the rhythmic sleep breathing to completely flat? Could this mean that many/most of my recorded events are some other disturbance in my sleep other than obstru...

Re: OSA Caused by Nasal Congestion?

Awesome, thank you guys for the feedback!! I just have general nighttime congestion, probably more this time of year. I am more of a side sleeper and find the lower nostril often shuts off near completely. Probably why I usually go to sleep breathing through my nose, and then automatically switch to...

Re: Dreamstation Puff vs Resmed No-Puff?

In case you're interested, here are some other closeups from last week that looked interesting to my untrained eye. I've looked closeup a lot of my flagged CSA events from the past week, and they appear to vary from 10-30 seconds long, with most being 15 seconds. Jul 12 Detail 1 Screen Shot 2021-07-...

Re: Dreamstation Puff vs Resmed No-Puff?

Thank you Pugsy!! I respect your opinion, but have to disagree that my changes are willy nilly. I'm trying to dial in what works for me (and what doesn't) with an absolute minimum amount of suffering. I really don't want to spend a week at settings that aren't working at all, hence my experiments wi...

Re: OSA Caused by Nasal Congestion?

That was a great video! Thank you!!! Super informative. Although makes me wonder if I even have sleep apnea. :wink:

Have you tried a neti pot / Navage / etc? I think I'm going to give something like that a try.

OSA Caused by Nasal Congestion?

I had another thought/question... I have understood obstructive sleep apnea to be a blockage of the airway at the back of the throat. But I have been noticing that I experience a fair bit of nasal congestion at night. Could nasal congestion alone cause OSA? I am both a nose & mouth breather, so I wo...

Re: Dreamstation Puff vs Resmed No-Puff?

Hi Pugsy & Others! Does anyone have a perspective on these screenshots? Any insight you can offer would be much appreciated! Last night I set my pressures to Min 5 / Max 8 / EPR 2, and while I was sleeping my max pressure peaked ~7.5cm, so I might have found my sweetspot. Tonight I'm changing settin...

Re: Resmed 10 and SoClean Issue! See Pic!

Neat post! I had just finished watching this video that shows the effects of ozone on the foam in Dreamstation 1 & 2, and Airsense 10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbHcZUFRDqg The Resmed foam appeared to more or less hold up in his experiment, but it looks by your experience that may not be the c...

Re: CPAP therapy plain not working (various problems)

Hi Djonne, I hear you! Recommendations for EPR are all over the map in videos too, and that probably just speaks to how different everyone's needs are. I've got another thread going here about my journey if you want to read. I'll keep an eye on this thread too in case I think of anything helpful to ...
