Quick update - it was my abdominal muscles. CPAP actually is to blame.. because I sleep so soundly now that I am not tossing and turning all night! I sleep rock solid and my abs in my back don't like being in that position for 6+ hours so they get sore. Nothing physically wrong, just needed to stren...

Doctor had no explanation for when it happened in October, and we were both satisfied when it seemed to just go away after a couple of weeks. When I had my yearly physical a few days after the pain started in April, he had no explanation for it happening now. He would be much more concerned if the b...

Good news is that my AHI has not changed that much since dropping it from a minimum of 10 to a minimum of 8. Bad news is that I have done almost everything in my list to try, short of buying a new mattress (which I won't do, as my current $2k+ king mattress is only 18 months old). The last thing I'm...

So my question is, if I'm not using EPR, is there any reason to not set my Minimum to a 5? What are the disadvantages of having my minimum too low? On the one chart you posted, your pressure is increasing at times to 12, 13, and 14. The machine is increasing the pressure gradually because the senso...

Thanks for your tips everyone. Quick update on this, in case anyone has any thoughts. I've tried to scientifically try one thing at a time in an effort to solve this problem, so far without luck. I change one thing, and one thing only, and try it for two nights to see if it makes any difference to m...

Watched a couple of videos that mentioned my EPR setting of 3 could be causing this. Sounds ridiculous. What is their explanation for how EPR could cause back pain? I gave it a try and it's been a few days, and back pain has been reduced with EPR turned off. Felt the change in my back pain after th...

Been on CPAP for about 9 months now. I'm pretty dialed in, nightly AHI is always under 2.0, usually a 0.8 to 1.2. Comfortable with the mask, everything going well.. except for this back pain that's re-appeared. When I first started CPAP last summer, I would wake up with bad, aching pain in my mid an...

• Keep a consistent sleep schedule. Get up at the same time every day, even on weekends or during vacations. • Set a bedtime that is early enough for you to get at least 7 hours of sleep. • Don’t go to bed unless you are sleepy. • If you don’t fall asleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed. • Establi...

Thanks so much! I may have to try that "boost it 20" (my Resmed 11 only goes to 20), and see how it goes! Am I reading this right when your starting pressure is a 17? I see that your EPAP is at 11, which I guess (?) means your exhales are lowered by 6? I'm not sure how I can set that on my Resmed 11...

I'm just running out of things to try and change in order to get it always below a 1. Some of us don't get the AHI consistently below 1. Don't aim for a number. Aim for good sleep, good feeling when awake, and a number that is lower than 5. No, aim for under 2. 5 is ridiculous and not at all well t...

It’d be helpful if you would provide a chart with your new settings. Absolutely SleepHQ doesn't seem to let me share a link of multiple days, so here's a few of the past week. The gaps are from naps I (tried) to take. https://sleephq.com/public/8a5be939-1414-4682-ab57-3b14e3b72570 https://sleephq.c...

This particular set of nose pillows is new-ish, got them from my medical supply company about 3 weeks ago. No nasal congestion either. Woke up this morning at 4AM with the same problem. On a whim I reduced the Humidity from 4 to a 1, and it seemed to help, somehow. Any ideas why this could be the ca...

What is the trick to getting it consistently under 5? I know it's a question with a lot of possible answers, but I'm 7 months in, and kind of running out of ideas. If you had a week of 5's, what would be your first step in figuring it out why and how to fix it? I'm flipping through my SleepHQ data a...

Been on my CPAP for about 7 months now. I've been dialing in my pressure settings and I'm stable with an average AHI of 3, at my 7 to 12 pressure. I've been running those settings fine for the past 2 weeks, and before that I was at a 8 to 15 and was mostly fine for a month+. I'm using the nose pillo...

Yeah, things have been decent in the 7 to 12 range for me for the past couple of weeks. I have not been waking up feeling as full or "gassy". I'll post a new couple of days from SleepHQ when I get home later and plug in my SD card. Now that being said, I had an absolute MISERABLE night last night wi...
