ResScan Data and Centrals

I have a habit of sometimes holding my breath. If I do this while awake and wearing the mask could it show up in ResScan data as a central event?

Re: APAP Pressure Range

Pugsy's advice, and the writing of other members, has helped me a great deal. I hope those here continue to share information.

Re: APAP Pressure Range

I slept well and feel good this morning. I did notice that the apneas are more central than obstructive.

Re: APAP Pressure Range

Thanks Pugsy. The maximum now set at 14. AHI was 2.5. Increase in pressure does not seem to bother me.

Re: APAP Pressure Range

My minimum pressure is now set at 9. The sleep study (many years ago) said 9.5. The data I listed is from last night, my best night in a long time.

APAP Pressure Range

I've finally figured out how to download ResScan data. My median pressure is 10.9, my 95% is 13.8 and my maximum is 13.9. What pressure range (high & low) would be appropriate for my APAP?

Product to prevent/heal sore nares from nasal pillows?

I recall reading about a product that prevents/heals sore nares caused by nasal pillows. Could someone provide the name of this product? I believe it begins with the letter (L).

Thank you

Which FF masks are known to work well for side sleepers? Mine works well on my back but not so well on my sides.

Re: Protecting Forehead with Mirage Quattro FF

The forehead piece has 24 adjustable positions. Did you turn the dial to try to find a comfortable position?

SH software and SD card question

Should the SD card already be in the computer when I run SleepyHead or do I wait until SH software is up and running before inserting the card?

Laptop computer capable of installing ReScan software?

I am an old guy with an old laptop. My laptop is unable to install the ReScan software because it does not meet the software requirements. I don't know what those requirements entail.

Re: AHI (Back sleeping vs. Side sleeping)
