Yes, that is what I was thinking about. I don't believe that would include EPR unless (maybe) it drops the level below were it needs to be IF the user has or is prone to have apneas at the point where the exhale and inhale cycle coincide. And, not all users are susceptible to that condition.fdw wrote:Den,Wulfman... wrote:Ooooooooooh......WOW! 0.57 AHI.

Symptoms.......would be heart skipped beats (PVC's), tired. I do have a Pacemaker/Defibulator.
Last night's results were a lot better 3 OA lasting no longer than 11 seconds, BUT I did have 2 back to back CA's lasting 20 and 16 seconds.
Here's last night results.......any suggestions?
Yeah, I reread your first post last night and remembered what you had mentioned:
Which may be another advantage of not using a range of pressures.I now have a Pacemaker/Defibrillator implanted back in mid October 2014

I thought I'd read once upon a time that varying pressures were found to potentially cause issues with the cardiovascular system.
Is that what your referring to, or something different? Does that include EPR?
How do I know if I need to increase or decrease my pressure now that I'm on straight CPAP especially if I see OA's that are longer than just the traditional time frame?
Sorry for so many questions......just trying to get better
But, to be honest, it seems like I've read an opposing view that advocates ranges of pressures where the user has lower pressures during the night and only higher ones when need be.
Now, I believe "logic" would dictate that not all people would benefit by the changing pressures or especially if the user had the type of breathing that would drive the machine crazy changing pressures all night long. In my opinion, that would not be beneficial.
I know it's still a little early to make judgements, but, so far, I see your reports getting better. And, not the clusters like you posted initially.
