Interesting that you both said that....I had in my mind settings of 9-13 (2 above and 2 below my CPAP)

I'll try to figure out how to change it and set it at 9-14.

Thanks!!

So I've been on CPAP for 3 months and doing well. I was at a setting of 11. My AHI would range from .8 (rare) to 4.80 (rare) with an avg of 1.7. I had my first appointment with sleep doctor Monday and I asked if I could change to an APAP setting, thinking my AHI would be a steady low number. So they...

Thanks Pugsy.....as long as I'm not doing something wrong and he knows about the bug.

My Sleepyhead is calculating time slept wrong....thus my AHI is showing lower then it should be.... It says sleep:22:13 wake: 06:19 hours: 14:19.02 it should be 8:06 hours slept. It says my AHI is 1.97, but for 28 events in 8 hrs, it should be 3.5 Any thoughts on why its calculating the hours wrong?...

well lately my mask vent is blowing on my hobby and keeping him awake. I sleep better on my right side and us switching sides won't work. I was thinking of pinning a pillow case to the mattress between our heads and to the head board. This would be less intrusive then a pillow between us. Any though...

Glad to hear your cath was good....15% of stress test are over read as positive. This is common, but on a good note, they are very rarely false negative. If there has to be an error let it be in favor of caution. The hospital I work at use to allow home CPAP but due to unclean, poorly maintained equ...

Thanks Pugsy....I was on EPR of 3 and saw a similar comment on another thread and I figured I would turn it down to 2 and see if I went back to the low 1 AHI's.
I went up! How weird....I could try going to 1 for a week and see.

I have adjusted very well to CPAP and really like my Quattro FX mask. Initially my AHI was always 1.06-1.7 with leak readings around 0-1. Last week I started seeing some AHI's in the low 2 range. Same leak rate. This week, my AHI was 1.5 one night and 2.2 -2.9 the other nights. Still a leak rate 0-1...

Dale - I put a rubber band around my hose and pin it to the side of my bed so if I get restless during the night, I feel that tug before I feel the tug
of the machine being pulled. Just a thought.

I find my Quattro FX to be very comfortable and have woken up with a few seconds of "do I have my mask on still??"

The key is getting taught the proper fitting for the Quattro.

I love my S9 autoset and I've adjusted to CPAP very easily. But I have noticed recently that in the AM my machine is making a puffing sound. This is different then the hose noise. Its not loud enough to wake me or hubby but just curious what might be causing it since its sooo quiet when I go to bed....

Not yet but my hubby needs one...if I can ever get him to go to the sleep study!!!

I'm only a few weeks ahead of you in treatment but here's a few pointers - "normal" is an AHI< 5, which means you want the lowest AHI but 1-3 is still good. From the forum, I think people try to improve this when getting closer to 5 - you will likely find out you need less sleep when using CPAP. I u...

My Apria rep fitted me the same way. I had a few days of minor leaks but some adjustments and all is well.
I find it to be a very comfortable mask

I have Apria too and they said every 3 months they would send a new mask. I think the hose was every 6 months. Twice a month does not sound right. I bought a spare mask and hose just in case.
