Re: Graphs for review

I just remembered last night I tried a sleep app and turns out it records sounds! Around 3.30 til 3.40 I can hear what sounds like snoring! Which I guess must mean my mouth was open, which I am sure never normally happens, and I guess during that period that air through my nose wouldn't have been r...

Pure science must be artfully communicated by trained and experienced mediators to be the face of the scientific institutions, for statements both to those in power and to the public, in order to be relevant in influencing policy. When the choice is rock or hard place, there is no winning that game...

Re: New user - Steep learning curve

Why not keep it there for a few days? Get an average? Average over the past week with the suggested settings was an API of 2.077 with 4 of the 7 nights closer to 1.5. Lowest usage on one night was 3.7 hours and all other nights were over 6 hours. Snoring has gone down to below 2 for all but one nig...

Re: Graphs for review

Slept on my side last night, using one of those massive pillows that goes up the back, under the head and down the front - meant I couldn't get comfortable towards the end so woke up properly around 5, although I did nod off for a bit after with no machine. So was good last night, I am not sure wha...

Re: Autopap for 2 months, still feeling horrible after waking up

image image Some large leaks... It looks like you're having to reseat your mask a lot. Mask farts? Itchy nose? If your mask isn't fitting properly or your headgear is getting sloppy/loose, you may want to check out other types of masks. Otherwise well managed apnea... No aerophagia? Have you consid...

Re: Scuba diving

Anyone have problems equalizing after starting cpap? This shouldn't be a thing. Your entire body is not being subjected to an additional amount of pressure other than what you're normally exposed to. It's an air-patency thing -- keeping the airway open only. If you've been diagnosed with OSA and yo...

Re: Needs help choosing the right mask. Adjusting to CPAP.

Did anyone use a SleepOn (go2sleep) oxymetry to double check the AHI of the CPAP? I had my dad worn it last night and it said last night my dad's AHI was 25. It even said my dad had SpO2 drop even in the time when the Airsense 10 reported 0 event/0 flow limitation. I understand that this thing is n...

Re: Resmed S9 Menu Doesn't Give Autoset Option

And DD, your post explaining the differences between machines is also very helpful. It sounds to me like the main purpose of an APAP is to increase pressure during events (thus allowing for a lower constant pressure), and NOT, as I had thought, to decrease pressure during breathing out. Is that acc...

Re: Resmed S9 Menu Doesn't Give Autoset Option

As a followup question, would an APAP or BiPAP machine really make a big difference to solve the problem I am talking about? There are several flavor axes. Data-capable or non-data-capable (brick) Auto (pressure changes with flagged events) or fixed (pressure stays the same regardless of flagged ev...
