I don't think it's top secret from you as much as it's just not (yet) clear and possibly needs to be explained (again?) for you to get what's what - I find that being anxious about not understanding it all makes it harder to 'get' and possibly having someone knowledgable about it all to go over it w...

You need to see your MD - the increase in gasping might not be Cpap related and you should find out what's going on.

Good try though!

A fair number of people tie a pillow in back to keep from turning on it - have you tried that?

Don't know what you've tried in the past, but rather than lowering your max pressure, raise the min. by e.g. 2-3 for a wk at a time and see how it goes... its the one that does the work.

How do you feel about sending to Canada (exchange + ship'g pd)?

Maybe PM for more...

In case you sleep mostly on your back (though your hypopnea result isn't especially high) you might want to try side sleeping for a few nites to see if there's any change.
