Re: Severe mixed apnea at the age of 35

After the last few nights it has become a bit clearer to me that AHI might depend on how deep and uninterrupted I sleep. Strangely high AHI seems to be linked with subjectively felt "good" sleep. This night my sleep felt quite deep only with a few turns. So overall it felt more resting. Still AHI is...

Re: Aircurve 10 ASV. Caught CA events, but OSCAR?

don't know the difference between resolve and respond, but that's what I meant. The reporting topic is clear to me. If it's only a matter of settings, I assume the "response time" needs to be low so it instantly starts if it doesn't detect a breath. but i assume this will also lead to being forced a...

Re: Aircurve 10 ASV. Caught CA events, but OSCAR?

Im planning to try an asv in November. So a general question based on the initial post (sorry for crashing in here): Is the machine completely unable to solve short CAs that last only 10-15 seconds? Or is it only a matter of the settings? Question is improtant to me because all of my CAs only last t...

Re: Lots of Centrals - New to CPAP

I am one of those that fixed pressure helped to reduce centrals a lot. Initial AHI 58, now its around 3. Still not happy but thats another story. So I would give it a shot.

And get your heart and brain checked thoroughly for a potential root cause of the centrals.

Re: Severe mixed apnea at the age of 35

The fate seems to be to have a strong indication for a severe illness but not receiving a diagnosis which opens the door for every sh*t I read about. cardiological and neurological nightmares mostly. And I'm quite clear what idiopathic means. it's not like I think that's my mental resort or sth. The...

Re: Severe mixed apnea at the age of 35

Thanks for the article... very promising...

So any sense in further trials here or should I just accept my fate, try asv in November and that's it.

Re: Severe mixed apnea at the age of 35

did you have any case like that at all? also I'm wondering... how accurate are those home tests and do they differentiate between central and obstructive? I did two of them. of course without eeg and legs movement, but with ecg, the straps around my chest and belly, the nose tube and the oxy clip. A...

Re: Severe mixed apnea at the age of 35

I think I took some sort of opiates exactly two times in my life. first time during my year studying in the US while I had a really bad cough and I think I remember it was part of the cough syrup i took for 7 days or so. and then 7 years ago when I had my tonsilles removed I got tillidin 3 or 4 time...

Re: Severe mixed apnea with 35

I just wanted to emphasize that they showed me their raw data an there they pointed to what was showing the chest movement recorded by the belt which was basically looking just like the breathing pattern when my resmed shows CSR in the morning. Regarding snoring: Yes, the graph they showed me was in...

Re: Severe mixed apnea with 35

Sorry, I've been on a business trip. Let me catch up: - "with 35" is indeed a literal translation > bad English and supposed to mean at the age of 35... could I or a mod change that? I really like the current working thesis of my apnea being of obstructive origin and the SL just having made mistakes...

Ok, let's see. What exactly would you like to find there? I didn't quite get it.

Re: Severe mixed apnea with 35

I doubt that they will just give the raw data to me unfortunately.

ASV will only be possible for a trial in November :?

Re: Severe mixed apnea with 35

For me it's really interesting, that FL are now a suspect of interest. So far I thought there was nothing obstructive going on in my breathing. But as it seems there is. This is very significant for me, since if it would be proven correct, it would mean that the periodicity might not be due to "some...

Re: Severe mixed apnea with 35

I wrote "only a comfort feature" since for me it's not necessary, at least at the pressures I operate the machine. It feels a bit weird to breath against the pressure for 5 breaths or so, then afterwards I don't even feel it anymore. sometimes I turn it off and on again to see if it's still working....
