I have had tinnitus for 30 years...I was diagnosed about 12 years before I was diagnosed with OSA.

How do you know you didn't have sleep apnea 50 years ago?

Glad to hear good news! Some stuffy noses want more humidity and some want less, so just experiment, I’d say. If this is a common issue, you might also want to use Flonase spray about one hour before bedtime. Be aware that it takes a week or two to kick in. I will try some different humidity settin...

"Multiple large-scale studies have confirmed that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for developing and worsening hypertension (high blood pressure). OSA-related mechanisms, such as sympathetic nervous system activation, inflammation, and oxidative stress, are believed to ca...

Miss Emerita, thanks for your response. I have a cervical collar and have used it from time to time but it didn't seem to change my numbers so I stopped bothering with it. But could try again. I see your posts about Bleep and i have the system and love it but stopped ...

... up your PS to maybe 5. (1) might help with the OAs, and (2) might help with the snores. I strongly recommend doing only one experiment at a time and trying a new setting for at least a few nights before evaluating it (unless it's a disaster). Your leaks are fine as far as your therapy goes; ...

The median seems to be the best starting point

The best starting point for what?

Welcome! Thanks for posting your charts. Next time could you include the flow-rate graph? It looks as though the pressure support is helping with flow limitations, which is good. The snoring is clustered, which makes me wonder whether you are rolling ...

... the virtual average as a percentage of median pressure. I took a 30-day sample of Average/Median and captured the average ratio. Using that ratio time median gives me a virtual average that is within 0.1 cmH2O which is pretty good. But in my career I have been an engineer and a business analyst ...

I'm using the Resmed Airsense 11, which is not an option in the choices here...

It is offered as an option in the equipment menu choices.

Look right under AirSense 10 Card to cloud in the list.

I start my sleep on my back and end up sleeping on one of my sides. Ahh, that explains why your pressure was higher at the beginning of your sleep. Typically, pressure needs are the highest when back-sleeping. This is because gravity is directly pulling the soft palate and tongue into the airway. O...

Thaks for the idea.. I wil keep looking for more videos and maybe get lucky I haven't watched it, but the manufacturer's video might help - https://www.resmed.com/en-us/products/cpap/masks/airfit-x30i/ everything starts off fine and later on I waker up with one of he pillows leaking It's possible t...

Went to upload to SleepHQ, but they wanted the SD card unlocked... I've always locked the card when I removed it from my Resmed machine, not wanting any accidental changes to be made to the card. What will happen if I keep it locked when uploading? nothing. data will be uploaded. when done, lock th...

I will be receiving the AirSense 11 you recommended. This is being ridiculously careful, but make sure it is an AutoSet. You can see here ResMed makes three different models of the 11 - https://www.resmed.com/en-us/products/cpap/machines/airsense-11/ can I use a UV Sanitizer and dryer to clean my C...

My question is why my events would climb with a full face mask.

There could be a dozen reasons. We would need to see your SleepHQ file to try to answer your question.

Did you change your machine mask selection to FFM?

Lost as to drag files into program 1. Do you know how to split your screen so that you see your SD card files on one side and the SleepHQ page on the other side? ------------> "You can use the Windows snap feature by selecting a window and pressing the Windows key + Left/Right Arrow key to view two...
