Any other suggestions?

I suspect that a sizable portion of the events flagged are SWJ (sleep/wake/junk) and if the pee breaks didn't cause the wake up and subsequent fall back to sleep awake time that they wouldn't happen. Would need to evaluate the flow rate (breathing) using SleepHQ to know for sure. Raising the minimu...

I finally got it to a level where the AHI was always under 5, and my Doctor said I shouldn't tinker with the setting anymore and I'm fine if the AHI is always under 5. Should I believe that? um, no.'round these parts, we believe an ahi of 2 is best. note:NOT 0 as that's unattainable by most folks a...

I also wake up to pee around 2 times a night. Why? Known problem?? Accept it or trying to fix it somehow? Do you take any medications of any kind (even OTC)? If so, what are they? How's your sleep quality in general??? Sleep soundly except for the pee breaks or wake often or spend much time going b...

Hello, I've been using my AirSesne 10 AutoSet after being diagnosed with severe OSA a few years back. I finally got it to a level where the AHI was always under 5, and my Doctor said I shouldn't tinker with the setting anymore and I'm fine if the AHI is always under 5. Should I believe that? While I...

Here is the latest screen shot from last night. I am wondering if I should raise the minimum pressure?

going back to the very beginning of this topic..... Did your doctor prescribe the constant 4 cm that you showed in your first post? If not, what did he prescribe? They prescribed a fixed pressure of 7. But my AHI was even higher on that. Ok, so you started at 7 cm constant, but to achieve a lower A...

I just uploaded last night's data with the FL showing better - thanks for the tip! AHI got cropped out, but it was at 6.6. I'll be traveling to sea level this week and interested to see what it is at a lower altitude. Regarding the EPR, I currently have it set to 3 and I had some questions on that -...

I definitely feel silly for not knowing the EPR wouldn't do anything at a pressure of 4. The reason for the low pressures is to see if lowering the pressure would lower the CA. I don't seem to have much OA, so I wanted to see how much we could lower the CA. After reviewing the data, I decided to go ...

Is the ultimate goal to get onto a fixed pressure? Or is there any issue with being on an APAP range permanently? I seem to have better numbers on an APAP range instead of a fixed pressure.

Thank you everyone for the replies! The titration study would be ideal, but unfortunately it was around $2000 and we aren't ready to explore that yet. The doc also said the ASV machine is extremely expensive. When she pulled my data she stated my average AHI was around 7, and that if I am typically ...

I ask this because I greatly prefer to have the EPR set to 3, but my doc says to lower it to 1 to reduce CA. I haven't noticed any difference in the CA so far, and highly prefer the EPR at 3 to prevent aerophagia.

Great to know, that helps a ton! Thank you!

Dumb question - If I set my APAP to a fixed pressure of 8, does the EPR still work? Or will it not even work since I'm at a fixed pressure and it can't drop?
