"Jet snoring" that you mentioned is of concern. It's a part of the sleep-disordered breathing spectrum along with obstructive sleep apnea.
Have some patience. Let's see what your sleep study says.
In the meantime, browse "good sleep hygiene".

Re: Tonsils & Uvula gone, but back to Square One……and struggle with CPAP.
the mention of “Central Apneas” is a great concern Quit it. :evil: There is no indication you have central apnea, and there is evidence you don't. So I’m looking for settings that I can tolerate & get some sleep. It does take time for the mind to adjust to a strange system like CPAP. So I saw this ...

Re: Heart Valve Replaced
Typically, pressure requirements are higher on the back as compared to the sides. I was thinking the pressure peaks may have been when you rolled onto your back. In any case, CPAP is treating your apnea well.CanadaguySK wrote: ↑Thu Oct 16, 2025 12:14 pmI am a side sleeper and do move from side to side. Rarely am I on my back.

Re: Heart Valve Replaced
Your minimum pressure setting is 6. The machine doesn't spend much time there. Several times it increased the pressure to 12. You could keep those settings since you are getting good therapy. However, many (most?) experienced users don't like a pressure swing of that much. You could change the minim...

Re: Tonsils & Uvula gone, but back to Square One……and struggle with CPAP.
Your FLs were great with EPR 3.
I don't understand why you want to change settings. The machine prevented breathing events on your latest posted night.
Look at the charts and ask questions.

Re: Fragmented Sleep and CA Events
Personally, I would change the mode to APAP, the minimum pressure to 7, the maximum pressure to 20 (The machine will not go higher than necessary.), and the EPR to 1.

Re: Fragmented Sleep and CA Events
One thing of note is that I tend to have clusters of central events towards the end of my sleep The ones you zoomed to are post-arousal centrals. They are not a problem. Your arousals are the problem. I am able to recall my dreams most of the time. More evidence of arousals. Dreams are only remembe...

Re: Fragmented Sleep and CA Events
In the two nights you posted, the CAs are minimal and normal.newtocpap552 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 14, 2025 3:36 pmNoted a lot of clear airway events on OSCAR at different pressure and EPR settings.
How good is your sleep hygiene? Do you take any prescription medicines or OTC drugs and/or supplements?

Re: Resmed n30i-Breathing out
You can turn on EPR. but the N30i cushions have a plastic “shield” on the front Both masks have a QuietAir exhalation vent on the front of the mask. This vent has tiny holes. You may need to check with a magnifying glass that they are not blocked. There are diagrams in the User Manual - https://docu...

Re: Heart Valve Replaced
I would increase the minimum to 6 and take another look after one or two nights. Please stick to this one thread.

But most of his Events are marked CAs. I think this is due to poor sleep.Dog Slobber wrote: ↑Wed Oct 15, 2025 10:54 amMoving you minimum lower was likely a mistake. Now it's not sufficient treating and avoiding events. It also takes longer to get to necessary pressures.
