My diagnostic sleep study showed an AHI of 9.3. I had a separate titration study. It was one of my few really good nights so I had zero events and my pressure never went above 4 cmH20. I feel my titration study was useless. When I met with the pulmanologist, he recommended I go to the ENT to talk ab...

Works in Ubuntu but I had change the name from .ico to .jpg.

Thanks.

I have my pupils dilated at my eye exam every year. Drive a couple of miles home with the sunglasses they give me. I am somewhat nearsighted especially in my left eye and because my eye is so football shaped my retina is stretched and somewhat twisted. Right now, no problem but eye dr. said if I eve...

My theory, no scientific evidence for this, is that my excess phlegm was my body's reaction to snoring. My throat was sore almost every morning and the excess mucous was produced because of irritated tissue in my throat. I no longer snore and I have less phlegm since cpap.

My Garmin has settings such as No gravel roads, No U-turns, No tollways, Fastest way, Shortest way, etc. It's never let me down.

I missed a night Sunday night due to power outage so of the last 30 days I've been compliant 28 but my compliance VIC stayed the same - 29/30 check code E4. I'm agreeing it shows only the first 30 days after a system reset then doesn't change.

You'll have to go into the clinician's menu - from setup press and hold the knob and the ramp button until the screen changes. Then go to setup, mode - change to autoIQ;. then you'll have to decide minimum number of days to find a pressure. I set mine to 3 which is the lowest. It acutally used 4 day...

That would fit with mine. I started the machine on May 5 but there was a reset via modem on May 7 and I missed only June 2 so I was compliant 29 of the first 30 days.

Mine has a 29 in that same spot. I've only recently watched it so I've been figuring it means compliant 29 out of the last 30 days because I missed one night on June 2 so mine hasn't moved yet. I won't be 30 days past that date until July 2 or 3. But if yours hasn't changed in a year...I don't know ...

I finished my 3rd night on my self titration w/ autoIQ. My dr. had set my pressure at 7 before my sleep study titration. Sleep study titration I such a good night the pressure was never raised above 4 with only one event. Dr. wanted to lower it to 4. That wasn't very helpful so I turned on the autoI...

I sense a giant cyber sigh of relief coming from this forum.

Way to go!

I know leaks drive pressure up. Events "drive" pressure up. Leaks "drive" flow up. ChicagoGranny, can you explain to this newbie what you mean by "Leaks drive flow up" ? I'm not sure I've got the concept of "flow" down yet. Thanks. I think I have a flow graph but it's jut not checked in my SleepHea...

Perhaps if you told us more specifically what the questions and/or comments are we could give you specific things to say. But don't quit so soon. It's new for you and it's new for your partner. Adjusting takes time. If she sees you aren't quitting perhaps she'll be more willing to accpet. If she see...

P.S. Today my wife and I had a good look into each other's mouths. I look in hers and I see teeth, tonsils, uvula, its all right there. She looks in my mouth and sees nothing but tongue. Soft palate at the top and just barely the base of the uvula. Okay, I have a large tongue and a small mouth, I ha...

Met with my sleep doctor yesterday for the 3rd time to give me the results of my titration study. First some background - My first study diagnosed me with an AHI of 9.3. I've had bouts of gasping for breath and scored 13 on the Epworth scale with loud snoring. Mild apnea but I wanted it to be treate...
