Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

Alrighty, I've gone through my pain and suffering from the tooth extractions. Also, I was prescribed trazodone after telling my PCP about how I wake up multiple times at night, most likely due to stress. I definitely don't wake up like I used to. Here are my charts since I started taking trazodone. ...

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

I was very surprised to see this score this morning. https://imgur.com/a/0PqkYtb I did wake up a few times and noticed my AHI was around 0-1. Usually I'll wake up and see it's around 0-1 and then later on it's 2-4. The only difference I did before going to bed was using a blue light filter on my pho...

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

Okay, the pressure for the first two nights on these charts were 9 and last night I raised it to 10. There's definitely some improvement once I raised it to 10 but I might need a little more pressure. Don't know if I should keep it at 10 for awhile or raise it tonight.

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

Alright, here are last night's results. I woke up at around 10am partially on my back since one of my straps on my backpack was undone. I don't know how long I was like that.

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

I recently got an Aircurve 10 VAuto, after about a month of using a Philips Respironic System One, and last night was my first night using it. I decided to use VAuto mode and these are my results. What pressure and PS would be best to change to? I'm currently wearing a sleep backpack to keep myself ...

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

Wow, it's been months since I've posted here. Since I'm here it obviously means I need some help again. I thought I'd be fine where I last left off, but I never really noticed any improvement, so I gave up and made an appointment for a titration study. Months later I got one and just very recently t...

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

I guess where i am at now is good enough, I don't think raising the pressure more than what I have now would be good. Especially since I'm seeing more leaks. I'm just glad to see similar results at what are considered normal AHI levels. I'll probably start seeing some physical results sometime in th...

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

It used to be tempting to want to change it, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Since my results are similar, would going to 14cm or even 14.6cm be a good idea? I'm sure the leaks will decrease if I lower it. The reason why I wanted to aim for around 0 is because I thought that was the ideal goal ...

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

I was actually surprised to wake up with a 0.3 AHI this morning. Although looking at it now on OSCAR it seems I had a large leak and I turned off the machine for some period of time. I really don't remember what happened there unfortunately. https://imgur.com/a/KfIxmB8 Anyway, I have the usual sleep...

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

Alright, I'm back. I've been on 15cm and after about 2 weeks I don't really feel any difference yet, which is no surprise. I feel like my AHI has been more or less the same as when I was on 14cm, but I didn't get any 0s this time around. I'm still glad to see my AHI being consistently around 1-2cm, ...

Re: New to CPAP, need help choosing right pressure.

Cool, thanks!
I tried 15cm last night and woke up to an AHI of 1.0! I'm so glad to see some progress now. I felt fine this morning so I'll keep it at 15.
Hopefully the trend continues. I'll post my results the week after next, thanks for all the help!
