enough to stop those clusters from happening

At which times on his chart do you see clusters?

I cannot even fall asleep at all without ASV is very concerning This sounds like a strong fear of falling asleep without the machine. You might want to experiment with some relaxation techniques or even ask your doctor for a mild sedative for temporary use. Your ASV is not designed to help you fall...

I would not be concerned about CAs normally, but since they started cranking up In the night you posted, there were very few (CAI 1.21), and they were mostly at the beginning of the night. I'm still skeptical that they were CAs. Can you post your analysis from SleepHQ.com? I never sleep on my stoma...

Quit worrying about the CAs. I will guess they are harmless post-arousal CAs, and they are few in number. If you would use SleepHQ.com, we could zoom in and tell. Your pressure curve is odd. Did you start the night sleeping on your back and then roll to your sides or stomach? Now when I wake up I'm ...

Are the arousals something that CPAP therapy can resolve or is that something different entirely? CPAP therapy is about breathing. It can prevent arousals caused by breathing events. But there are many reasons for arousals that are NOT related to breathing events. My symptoms prior to diagnosis wer...

I zoomed in on half a dozen of your CAs. Immediately preceding them, you take a deeper breath. This indicates arousals, and the CAs are called post-arousal CAs. They are not a problem. The arousals are the problem. You have a few too many arousals. Review your sleep hygiene and the side effects of a...

I feel groggy again at night or when I wake up, which in my case I think is a good thing. You think feeling "groggy" is a good thing??? Define "groggy". I'd like to be around .5 AHI a night I hate 😓 to see goals like this. More on that as the discussion continues. I'm curious as to why my apneas sh...

From that screenshot, it appears you are getting excellent CPAP therapy. If you want us to look at breath forms, please use SleepHQ, which allows us to zoom in.

I usually sleep on my stomach, but am trying to learn to sleep on my side

Before you give up entirely on stomach-sleeping, check out Dr. Falcon's blog on the ideal stomach-sleeping position for CPAPers - https://www.uarsrelief.com/sleeppositions.html

I am still just flabbergasted why my O2 ring shows over 1000% uptick in desaturations compared to historical data I have over the last year. I'm suspicious of the accuracy of your O2 data. My sleep tech reviewed the graphs If you use a free account at SleepHQ.com, our members can do just as well, o...

I just now looked. They have a ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet discounted to $672. Great machine. Good price.

considering buying a Luna II CPAP

Personally, I stay away from Chinese-made machines.

You could register at CPAP.com and keep an eye out for discounts. You might find a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 as cheap as a Luna. Whichever model, make sure it's a ResMed AutoSet.

Night 2 (Dec 11) was almost back to normal: average SpO₂ 96 %, only 37 seconds under 90 %, but still 77 drops over 3 %, when historically I ALWAYS have under 10. How do you grade your day of December 11? Energetic? Any excess sleepiness? At bedtime on the 11th - fatigued but not stressed? Same ques...

Do you also mean to say my doctor will have the ability to send a NEW script to Medicare (for a replacement machine)?

The script goes to the DME. The DME deals with Medicare.

Every five years, I've gotten a new machine with Medicare. You won't get one if you don't try.

Which drugs/dosage/timing? Caffeine?
