Re: Increase Pressure?

Yeah, It would be nice to see what the O2 levels look like but I'm not sure just what I would do with the information other than be able to "know." I guess if there was something alarming, I would bring it up to my provider. That Oura ring looks very interesting.

Re: Increase Pressure?

I'll give that a try, also do you have a recommendation for a Pulse Oximeter? Do you think it's worth picking one up to see that kind of data?

Re: Increase Pressure?

Yeah, I’m guessing laziness as well, I realize that more and more across the board with any sort of service we get in the marketplace that the people working there just want you in and out like a cow or sheep being herded. Not all the time, but generally speaking it feels that way. I know that we al...

Re: Increase Pressure?

Let me share a little story with you that highlights why subjective feelings matter so much no matter what the "report" says. Back when I first started therapy and I was about 3 or 4 months into therapy I woke up and felt amazing and that amazing feeling lasted all day long. I felt like superwoman....

Re: Increase Pressure?

Sorry for the report plop. My goal is to get the report looking decent and then assess how I feel, in other words, I've done my due diligence to mitigate what the machine is trying to tell me, and then go from there. Maybe that's the wrong approach. I want to give it some time with the new settings,...

Re: Increase Pressure?

Ok, I upped the pressure range to 9min-12max, EPR Full time Level 3. What are your thoughts on this result?

Re: Increase Pressure?

First night of mouth tape. It looks like my leak rate went way down. So in terms of flow rate and pressure and AHI, I'm still having events, what's the next step in order to attack those issues? https://i.imgur.com/oHFtqFd.jpg try and keep leaks under control....any recommendations on how to approac...

Re: Increase Pressure?

My AHI is down but my leak rate is still not good. I am waiting for my mouth tape to come in the mail, I guess I won't be able to troubleshoot any further until I can rule out if it's mouth leaks or mask leaks. I also moved the pressure range back to 8-10 because I notice the higher pressure (10-15)...

Re: Increase Pressure?

About mouth tape. I've read only two reasons for caution. One is that you'll suddenly vomit and inhale the vomitus (which would certainly be bad). The other is that your power will go off, your machine will shut down, and you'll slowly smother. I've never vomited suddenly in the night, so that is j...

Re: Increase Pressure?

Thank you....that is much easier to see. You know it is entirely possible that nothing happened in terms of apnea events for the machine to sense and record. Your pressure increases up there but it could be simply from the flow limitations and while the flow limitations can grow up into full grown ...

Re: Increase Pressure?

I opened an Imgur account, it allows for BBCode which I guess photobucket and Dropbox don't do. This one should be easier to see.

Re: Increase Pressure?

Here are the last two nights. How did I get a 1.99 AHI with all those leaks?
