Dropping pressure setting
Posted: Fri May 19, 2017 12:29 pm
Ok this is two questions, really:
One, how do I make a signature, so I don't have to write what equipment and settings I'm using in every post? and
Two, I was prescribed a pressure setting of 8 by my doctor, but I dropped it to 7 last night due to aerophagia. It stopped all of my burping and gas issues but now I'm wondering, if you drop your pressure slightly, will it still stop your apneas? My primary doctor, who prescribed me the CPAP, won't answer this question because he said I need to see a sleep doctor now instead. I called a sleep doctor and it's a one month wait.
This afternoon I will be getting a CPAP machine that measure my AHI's so I'm hoping to have more conclusive information then. Right now I have the "half assed brick" Respirionics DreamMachine that is a basic CPAP, humidifies, but doesn't autocorrect pressures or give me an AHI read out. I wear a Quattro Air full mask, my pressure is 8 (but I brought it down to 7), chocolate lave cake is my favorite dessert unless I'm down south, then it's warm pecan pie, and I'm a Taurus living inside a Leo's body. Thanks ya'll!
