Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
I have seen my doctor, but he does not want to look at the raw data like in Oscar. He only uses the global indicators. I'll see him again in 1-2 months to see if I feel better.

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
Thanks for your time! During my long CPAP break I felt like before using it, that is better but not best. Without CPAP I feel at max 70% rested, with it 20-50%. Here is the result from one of the last tests (PSG): " - We performed a neurophysiological exploration of the sleep-wake cycle including: -...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
Thank you! :D Polysomnography = done at a clinic with more sensors like EEG. Polygraphy = done at home, with less sensors. The reason I did the last polygraphy was to (1) have a definitive diagnostic (4 positive tests and 1 negative) and (2) so my physician could prescribe me a machine or MAD. He ne...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
Thank you! It's been 7 days and it feels like a nightmare again. I feel 10x worse on APAP than without. And I know I will have to go through the same bullshit again with technicians and doctors: "you need time to get used to it", "it's maybe your body relaxing after years of bad sleep". But I just c...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
Hello, Update: more than 2 years have passed, and I have done 3 new sleep studies in the mean time. The first one was polysonography, and showed no sleep apnea, which drove me crazy. After a year I decided to do another one, which came back positive, and 1 month ago I did a polygraphy with a physici...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
Hello, I've seen my sleep doctor this morning. We have decided to stop CPAP for now, wait 5 month and do a polysomnography to "start from scratch" again. I think it's the best option for me right now, as I feel like we have missed alot of informations with the polygraphy. Thanks for all the tips. I'...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
So last night I slept without CPAP for the first time in like 2 month. I slept in a trait, no waking up during the night. Felt better than usual. I'm wondering if I should keep using CPAP.

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
Thanks for the advices, I'll give it a look! Last night went almost exactly the same as the night before: as much hyp, a tiny bit less centrals. And I just feel as bad as the night before when waking up! :cry: To be honest, the fatigue has only gotten worse and worse since I've had CPAP. I'm getting...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
Got it! I'll wait for the full face mask if I can't find another solution. I actually had pretty low leaks last night with mouth taping, I'll try tonight without the hole in the center to see if I can get even less. Regarding condensation, I will try increasing to 6 and see what happens. Because las...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
You are a well of knowledge, that's impressive! You can't imagine what a relief it is to have that kind of support. I'm currently using humidifier at 5 right now, I have tried more but it was creating bubbles in the hose if I remember correctly. I will try 6 tonight and see how it goes! To be honnes...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
I need to have an appointment anyways in order to make a point with my ENT on these few months with the CPAP. Even if I was better, I'm requiered to see him. It's true that I don't feel perfectly comfortable at 6, and I think I would breathe better at 7. I do have a fairly large deviated septum (bon...

Re: What is my problem? Noobie needs settings advices
I think I should maybe ask for a more in depht sleep study at the hospital (it's "free" in France). I have indeed seen improvement on my headaches. Now, if I sleep for like 8-9h, I usually don't have headaches, whereas it was 100% without CPAP! On my sleep study, O2 was on average 96% with a min at ...
