AHI is up
Subtract the CAs from your AHI.

I can’t see any CAs. I’m viewing on iPad.

I honestly have no idea how to read this stuff. Is there guide somewhere?


Thanks

Re: Tonsils & Uvula gone, but back to Square One……and struggle with CPAP.

Thanks again CG Well after a bit of trial & error, I feel I at least got some sleep last night. Not fantastic, but not terrible. Maybe I’m getting used to the mask. I’ve realised that I have to wear Earplugs. Maybe it’s just the constant airflow from the front of the F30i.. Settings now Min=12, Max=...

Re: Tonsils & Uvula gone, but back to Square One……and struggle with CPAP.

"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.

Min=10, Max=20, EPR=Off https://sleephq.com/public/04d6bd5a-b28 ... 8242345885 No breathing issues noted. Sorry to be dumb. Does that mean the CPAP is doing its job or there were no issues to fix? Is there a way to accurately measure Sleep? I mean myself. Are those Whooshes or rings? Would they sho...

Re: Tonsils & Uvula gone, but back to Square One……and struggle with CPAP.

... is I really struggle to get to sleep & when I do, I’m told I snore like a jumbo jet! I’m told I do when I don’t think I slept! As I’ve said, my tonsils & uvula are gone. My nostrils could be wider & sometimes get congested. It might be a mental issue or some imbalance? So I’m trying to see if ...

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: Tonsils & Uvula gone, but back to Square One……and struggle with CPAP.

Should I have EPR ON or OFF? 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. I don’t understand how to read these charts Look at the charts and ask questions. Apologies CG, I’ve only just seen th...

Re: Tonsils & Uvula gone, but back to Square One……and struggle with CPAP.

Don't know why it didn't go very well, that's the best looking chart you've posted yet. That’s interesting! The problem was the leaking! I really should have bought the Nasal mask instead of this F30i. I’ll stick with it until after my Sleep Study on the 28th. Should I have EPR ON or OFF? Thanks!

That setting didn’t seem to go too well. https://sleephq.com/public/a7d17e7b-1c65-4702-917d-59ab3f33547e I don’t understand how to read these charts, but I had to quit in the middle of the night, so I’ll reset to Min=10, Max=20 I recently bought the F30i mask, which is 100x better than the F10 I had...

Re: Tonsils & Uvula gone, but back to Square One……and struggle with CPAP.

Thanks very much both!

OK, so I will reset the Max to 20 & try the Min a bit higher than the original setting of 10? Say 12??

Moving 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.
But most of his Events are marked CAs. I think this is due to poor sleep.
