I installed sleepyhead version .9.8.1 a couple of yrs ago. I went off my cpap last yr due to loosing weight (which was a mistake, im a newbie). I restarted my cpap this yr after doing an overnight sleep pulse ox, it showed i needed cpap. Wondering if there is a new version i need to install (on my n...

Den, I do not know how to change the settings on my machine. Am I allowed to do that, will my doctor get annoyed? Ive taken 2 screenshots of the last couple of nights. Here's a link to download the clinical/setup guide to your machine. Yes, you ARE allowed to do that. It's YOUR machine and YOUR the...

PLMD stinks. I'm sorry you're going through that. I'm no doc, but mine has told me that PLMD is caused by neuro but can be triggered by a lot of things. We investigated low iron levels (nope, mine are high for a woman). My antihistamines guaranteed an especially active night... I went the length of...

Den, My 90% pressure is 9.16 over the last 7 days 9.32 over the last 30 days. 9.10 over the last 6 mths (looking on the statistics page of sleepyhead). Pugsy, thank you for the url's, I wil do some research. OK. If you still wish to use APAP mode in a range of pressures, bump your minimum up to 9 f...

Den, I am monitoring my sleep with sleepyhead. Im new this cpap therapy. I dont know what to look for when viewing sleepyhead. My original prescription was 4-16, I was on that setting for a month. The 4 was too low when I started on cpap every night, i couldnt breath properly so i informed my docto...

I suspect that this may be part of your problem. Auto 8-16 . How do you know you're not getting any REM sleep now? You can actually "dream" in any sleep stage. Your Auto settings (pressure increases) may be bumping you out of your needed sleep stages as your breathing changes during the night.........

I had my first visit with pulmonologist/sleep doctor since I started cpap 3rd Aug 2015 (approx 2.5mths). Because I haven't had a miraculous recovery or haven't felt any different since starting cpap therapy, sleep doctor thinks I should quit cpap therapy. MY AHI was 9.3 while sleeping on my back, an...

Now the reason why a pulse ox test was done was because of this data I had a week before. 76% on 7th Sept, 2015 https://www.dropbox.com/s/da6qjl7yzaqiw6j/Screenshot%202015-10-07%2018.11.37.png?dl=1 85% on 6th Sept, 2015 https://www.dropbox.com/s/cv0o3gzejt8s1jx/Screenshot%202015-10-07%2018.09.15.png...

My sleep/pulmonologist doctor ordered an overnight pulse ox test recently. I wore my CMS-50F both nights while wearing the overnight pulse ox equipment given to me by my doctor. I dont know what the guidelines are for adding supplemental oxygen. My appt with my doc is in 2 days, I want to go to my a...

If my memory serves me correctly the official cut off line for acceptable oxygen levels is 88%. Like to qualify for added O2 at home it has to be at or below 88% for a certain amount of time. Some docs may have developed their own personal "cut off" line as to when they start thinking about doing s...

Higher CPAP pressure typically improves O2 levels. But to get even better O2 levels on your machine you need to use EPR. Are you using EPR? EPR of 3 does not fully kick in unless your pressure is 7 or above. EPR is kind of a pressure support and it helps increase O2 levels. So use EPR if you aren't...

I have been on cpap therapy for 5 weeks. I wear an CMS-50F Pulse Ox every night. I track my cpap therapy and SP02 with Sleepyhead and I also download SP02 to the Sp02 Assistant program. My cpap setting for the last 5 weeks has been 4-16 on my Airsense10 for Her, with no ramp. I havent been back to m...

Thank you for your responses. I have pulled the plug on my machine for 30 seconds to reset it. You are right, the pictures in my previous post (and after careful review of every night) my "events" are less than 10 seconds. I found this pic to be the closest to being 10 sec, it started around the 01:...

New to cpap, Ive been on cpap therapy for 16 days. It seems every night I have events, but my machine and sleepyhead dont seem to think Im having any My DME called me, to check in with how I was doing. I told them I've downloaded sleepyhead and its showing approx 10 sec or less of flat-lines, yet sl...

1. The hose attached to my mask, (not the heated tubing), coils up when I roll over in bed, any ideas on how to prevent this? My mask is the AirFit P10 For Her Nasal Pillows. 2. I have a ClimateLineAir Heated Tubing for the Resmed AirSense 10 for Her. I have the heated tubing draped over my beds tal...
