I got a bilevel machine and am struggling to fall asleep Miss Emerita has pinpointed your main issue: You are changing the settings multiple times each night, and that means your body has no chance to adjust to any of the settings. I am wondering if it is because I am auto titrating to high Whateve...

I feel generally tired and not refreshed. I rarely if ever get up in the morning and feel "good". CPAP fixes sleep disordered breathing problems. CPAP does not fix bad sleep . Sometimes when the CPAP data looks reasonably good (as yours does, at least on the surface), you need to think about what o...

I see a psychologist once a month and yes they are competent. They helped me adjust my life routine to avoid stressor and I have same routine every day that it's impossible for me to break without suffering or getting panic attacks/stress. I'd put my money on the therapist helping you adjust to the...

As someone who has used both the P10 and the Swift FX at low pressures, I'd like to add my two cents: The leak rates for me that show up in Oscar were basically the same when I was using a PR DreamStation BiPAP AUTO, a machine that reports total leak and no some adjusted number for the excess leakag...

Yes, assuming that the ASV sleep study wasn't just reacting to my shallow breathing, of course. You don't get a diagnosis of severe central apnea based on an ASV study. You get a diagnoses of central sleep apnea based on a diagnostic study (no PAP of any kind) or of treatment emergent central sleep...

1. My conclusion from these 3 data points is that my Resmed Airsense10 Autoset (clinical Mode Setting = Autoset) is responding to OSA events but not CSA events. Is this correct? This is correct and it's because of the way the machine is programmed to react. Obstructive apneas are assumed to be caus...

I understand that but nevertheless the hospitals company policy states that they are here to build doctor patient relationship and answer any questions, so by refusing to answer my questions the doctor broke that company policy and i want to know what hospital has to say about it. I want them to in...

After reading more post on the site, I have a better idea. The level of comfort I mentioned would probably be the right setting for me. Initially the setting were mostly default and I didn't felt uncomfortable. It would help us help you if we knew how you felt uncomfortable . Many new PAPers feel u...

Both studies say severe central and severe obstructive apnea. That means that you've got a complicated case. It also does mean the ASV is the considered the machine you need for treating your severe central apnea along with your severe obstructive apnea. Unfortunately a whole lot of sleep docs (lik...

Before I move to a new doctor I filed a grievance against the sleep doctor for not listening to my concerns as I've told him all 3 times before the test this will be troubling for me and that adjustments need to be done. I did tell him about Triazolam however he claed that that's not used for sleep...

After the 3rd test the doctor decided to just give up and not want to treat me anymore he mentioned that i should find someone else for 2nd opinion which to me doesn't make sense. I don't understand why he is deciding to give up. So find another doctor who is more willing to work with the fact that...

----------------- I wrote: I had mentioned to my cardiologist that I didn't sleep well, and he referred me to the sleep study center. The only 100% definite benefit that I can attest to is that, for some reason, I don't have to pee every 2 hours while under therapy. That alone is a big benefit to m...

I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm still struggling...lots of tossing and turning as a reluctant side sleeper. Barely adequate sleep - never fantastic sleep. Unfortunately there is nothing in either of these reports that screams, "FIX THIS". The AHI is reasonable (although some folks would wa...

My specialist doctor said there was no link between tinnitus and machine; he has never heard of it. Tinnitus is frequently the consequence of a hearing loss. Unfortunately a whole lot of people with hearing loss also are in denial that they don't hear as well as they should; wearing hearing aids us...

First, I want to say I agree with Pugsy: There's nothing in your data that indicates you might need an ASV and expecting an ASV to be "more comfortable" is not realistic. Hi All, New to the forum and find loads of useful information. I was on prescribed setting for a few months now. Min Epap 4 Max I...
