Hi all,
3+ months into treatment. Numbers continue to get better, and I've made pressure adjustments recommended. However, still feeling tired in afternoon, although not nearly as bad as before, and improving too. I did come off one of my blood pressure meds (was causing feet and ankle swelling) and now down to using only 30 mg. lisinopril.
Using FFM, although the APAP is teaching me to sleep with my mouth closed! And after having a period that I was having real leak issues, my body seems to have figured out that piece also and not seeing the problem the way it was before. Some of my early issues were also due to discomfort as I had just had rotator cuff and bicep tenodesis surgery (how I found out I had sleep apnea, anesthesiologist noted it!)
Posting 3 recent days, which are pretty representative of the recent tracings.
My numbers seem to be driven heavily by CA's when in arousal.
Thanks very much!
3+ months APAP use, input appreciated.
