Re: What is your CPAP pressure?
I think the poll is a neat idea! I'm interested in data like this, so even if you have only made me and yourself happy, it was worth it

Re: What is your CPAP pressure?
Someone said:
The pressure setting means nothing anyway except how much pressure is needed to keep THAT PERSON'S AIRWAY OPEN. Everyone's pressure will be different because of that and it has nothing to do with the severity of the person's sleep apnea.
So, my question is, is that true? Your pressure setting has nothing to do with the severity of your sleep apnea? I can have a pressure setting of 14 (which in the above graph is higher than the average) yet still have mild sleep apnea?

Yes, the statement is true.Ruth wrote:The pressure setting means nothing anyway except how much pressure is needed to keep THAT PERSON'S AIRWAY OPEN. Everyone's pressure will be different because of that and it has nothing to do with the severity of the person's sleep apnea.

Pressure requirements don't have any bearing on severity of the sleep apnea.
Someone could have a pre cpap AHI of 100.0 and only need 7 cm of pressure to hold the airway open and the next person might have pre cpap AHI of 12.0 and need 20 cm of pressure.

Re: What is your CPAP pressure?
20 is the highest I can go. I've heard some machines go higher but that's the limit where I am.

Re: What is your CPAP pressure?
I got so sick of the aerophagia (at 11 to 12 pressure) I was ready to poke both eyeballs out. So I raised the head of the bed 18 inches (with bricks) (I just measured: from floor to top of mattress at head (29 1/2 inches) and from floor to top of mattress at feet (11 1/2 inches). I am now able to sleep fine with a pressure of 8.5. HALLELUJAH!!! (No more aerophagia and sleeping at that slant is not a problem...not compared to the horrors of aerophagia.)

Re: What is your CPAP pressure?
I wish I could change my vote.
At the time, I was on straight CPAP at 14cm, but my Autoset only gets me to a 11 or 12 cm.
(must have been titrated too high--go figure)

Re: What is your CPAP pressure?
Not sure I really understand as I thought we had fixed CPAP pressure numbers?
Mine is 13 for example..
Not 12-13 or 13-14....
Anyhow, mine is 13

Re: What is your CPAP pressure?
You necro'ed a 3 year old poll thread to tell off someone for something s/he said at least a year and a half ago? And you think that other people are miserable?ShelaghDB wrote:What is wrong with some of you people?LSAT wrote:Hmmmm....160 views and only 30 votes....not much interest.

As for this poll, I can't answer it because my 95th %ile number does not fit into any of these ranges. Poorly constructed poll.
