Re: 0.3 event per hour

That is a great score. It has taken me many months to get to this level. I found out that when the mask goes on, I don’t say a word. My events now are always below one. I have even hit zero on more than one occasion. I have even hit zero on occasions.

High events per hour when awake

I’m using a airCurve 10 BIPAP and lately my events per hour when I’m awake goes up compared to when I’m asleep. I can’t understand why this is happening. I’m quite aware of my breathing when awake.

AHI events on the rise

It seems my AHI has been on the rise this month and I have no idea why. I’m a side/back sleeper. I also have MS which has been stable since 2003.

Events per hour

My recent events per hour have been great. They are around one event part hour and I have even had .2 events. My question is, can you ever get zero events? Just curious.

New Skin for nose bridge area

I have a hard time sealing my full face mask because my nose was broken and I need to have my mask pulled really tight to get a good seal. My nose bridge area has always been a bit sore. I’ve tried bandaids but it’s even harder to get a good seal. The other day, out of desperation, I tried New Skin ...

Can your BIPAP makehour worse over time

I was diagnosed with MS in 1984. I am 100% service connected by the VA. Over time my ResMed AirCurve events per hour have been increasing leaving me exhausted fro the moment I getup. Is it time I get put on an Astral ventilator?
