I know 6 AHI's aren't the best and probably the ideal would be 1 or less, but from 75+, I thinks is a good result, In some situations we often have to accept an "okay" compromise.......at least for now because to get the AHI lower can cause more problems than a slightly higher AHI might be causing....

The SleepHQ file has only a segment of the night (I would assume some time zone thing) and there's some fine-tuning opportunities but relative to your other nights this is fabulous. Why not stick here for a while and see if it's repeatable. Yes don't know why it looks like that this time, I will ke...

Sorry my question was not clear. Between the time you go to bed and start CPAP, and the time you get out of bed and turn off CPAP, during any of that time, are you awake? Just lying there with the machine running? I don't think so, when I wake up is because I need to pee so I pause it then I return...

OMT-- do you think you spend much time awake during the night? If so, how much?

I sleep at morning (3-4 am usually) because my work is online but most of the time at night here in Europe yes.
I bought a cervical collar too for amazon, usually take 1-2 weeks to get delivered.

No good, quick and easy options here. You got really bad aerophagia when the max pressure was 10 and you were maxed out and sleeping on your back...is that correct? You get bad aerophagia still yet on your side with the max at 20 and the machine maxed out at 20 even when on your side? Is that corre...

Ever see a GI guy to see if you have an incompetent LES? I haven't Here is the link for the Sleephq May 10: https://sleephq.com/public/a8f99900-c316-4e0e-90d3-44748db8e165 May 11: https://sleephq.com/public/3666cf0c-d81d-4eac-a143-b1519d0c9368 May 12: https://sleephq.com/public/305ada5e-dcf6-4d27-a...

Can you elevate the head of the bed? How much/when do you have caffeine? Do you smoke? What time is your last meal vs what time do you go to bed? A SleepHQ file might be helpful to see how a BiPAP might help. I can try doing it. I drink 2 times a day, I'm drinking ( https://www.dolce-gusto.pt/capsu...

What is your humidifier's humidity setting?

Where are you located?

The humidity level is 4, and Portugal.

A machine that will go higher than 20 cm isn't going to do your aerophagia issues any favors. It is not a magic miracle worker. Yes it will allow a greater pressure support than your EPR can offer but it's a long shot that will resolve your issues with the aerophagia just because you can use 4 or 5...

NOT meaning to be funny or anything, but have you had your appendix out?

Yes November last year I got my appendix out.

Hello here is an update about my situation... So I sleep on my side, first hours was on a config of min 5 - max 12 it was supposed to be max 20 not sure why I put it like that honestly, I reduce the min to 5 because when I try to sleep on my side at the start on 7 was a bit uncomfortable because I d...

A lot of people have difficulty with a minimum of 4 cm pressure. Just not enough air movement to be comfortable. Your machine is essentially setting a new minimum for you. Once you go to sleep the machine climbs significantly in response to the airway either collapsing or trying to collapse and pre...

What is your primary sleeping position? Did you have a sleep study done in a lab or at home? Your machine wants to go higher but it's going to make the aerophagia worse if it does. Maybe a change in sleeping position will change your pressure needs. Like....are you sleeping on your back now and hav...

I think you may need more than 20 cm to be available to you and that means a different machine. How's the aerophagia with the 7 to 20 range? The machine obviously maxes out at 20 cm which makes me think it wants to go even higher but can't. How much nasal congestion at night are you having? Hello, ...

Hello, first would like to apologize for my english I know won't be the best but hopefully you guy's can understand and give me some advice. I been having problems with apnea I did my test and I got an 75 (AHI) events per hour, my oxygen level goes down to 64% at night, I'm 29 / 290 pounds / 5'7 / I...
