Frogler, you're a good friend. I'm so glad you took your friend to the ER. I'm curious: did he take any Oscar print-outs with him? Or did he (or you) just describe the increase in central apneas and/or the pattern of the flow rate? Just described it. He was having shortness of breath during the day...

And why did he change the mask and the mask type?
Could he have been attempting to relieve some kind of breathing discomfort by changing the mask?

I'm glad you took him to the ER.

He doesn't like the feel of the P30 (the silicon). I suggested the N20 touch because of the memory foam.

I took him into Emergency where he was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension which can contribute to that. But it does remain very odd that there was no indication of this until he switched masks (I want to emphasize I don't think the mask caused it). I am more concerned that perhaps because he had ...

If I knew how to get his leaks lower I would. When he first switched to the N20 he had a very high leak rate because he had connected two necks to his hose. Once we switched him back his leak rate went back to around 10 and I adjusted it further to get it down to 7. His seal is good but his AHI is s...

With regard to the suddenness of this. Here is the CPAP results from when he was still using the P30: P30: https://i.ibb.co/Y7W2PxB/Microsoft-Teams-image-2.png Changed to N20: https://i.ibb.co/X8SLNgx/Microsoft-Teams-image-3.png I don't think the mask changed caused it. I provide it as just addition...

My friend recently switched to a N20 mask and instantly got a very high number of events. He switched back and the high events continued. I've tried adjusting his pressure a little bit as the AHI seems to be related to central apnea. I'm most concerned that it's reporting it as Cheyne Stokes Respira...
