Re: Quality of Sleep Question

I tried EPR 1, 2, and 3 at different pressures (mostly using APAP). EPR 2 and 3 always made me feel worse. Once I got my pressure down below 5 I turned it off. I feel more rested at pressures between 4 and 5, and I have about the same or fewer events as higher pressures. Maybe I don't need CPAP anym...

Re: Quality of Sleep Question

Thanks. I'm going to try a new mask and see if that makes a difference, and then go from there.

Re: Quality of Sleep Question

Background information: I have been using CPAP for over 25 years. My initial sleep study prescribed 10 cm H2O pressure. I was on that for a long time and always complained to my sleep doc that I still didn't feel rested. Of course her answer was basically your AHI is really good so you're being trea...

Re: Quality of Sleep Question

Not sure what you're asking? Are you talking about the actual data from my spreadsheet? The Flow Rate Charts are linked in the original post. I'll post a link to the entire night.

Re: Quality of Sleep Question

Sorry for the confusion. I originally had 2 separate graphs (files) but then I combined them into just one graph (file) before attempting to post.

Re: Quality of Sleep Question

My Sleep Apnea is well controlled. My cmH2O was 4.2 - 8.6 for a long time. In the process of experimenting with settings, my cmH2O is now 4.6. Increasing the pressure made things worse. I even experimented with EPR. AHI is always less then 1.00. Total number of Events is almost always less than 10. ...

Does anyone know which of the measured data displayed in Statistics in OSCAR has the most impact on your quality o...
