Re: Need help optimizing therapy
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I’m currently volunteering and staying at a hostel, so I can’t do too much about the electricals and all. I made sure all the different parts of the adapter were well connected, along with trying different power outlets, but still seem to get the same issues. I’l...

Re: Need help optimizing therapy
Just wanted to bump this back up to the top of the threads. Does anyone have any idea what those weird breathing patterns are? Also, does anyone have any idea why I keep on taking the mask off and putting it back on? It happened to me again last night, pictured here: https://imgur.com/a/1gZldmW I un...

Re: Need help optimizing therapy
Hello again. I've been having really rough nights as of late, and don't really know what has been causing them. I seem to be getting huge tidal volumes out of nowhere, with nasty, downward sloping breaths. I don't know what they mean and would appreciate anyone's input on them. I also seem to have t...

Re: Why am I still so tired?
I hate to be that guy, but would anyone mind dropping in their input? I know I'm not entitled to anyone's help, but I'm going to be going to bed soon and would like to have some idea of what to do to make sure I'm feeling nice and refreshed tomorrow

Why am I still so tired?
Hey everyone. I posted to apneaboard in order to find a good pressure for my therapy, and, after some experimenting, we finally found something that worked; ~7-10, Autoset, with EPR 3. Great! I'm finally sleeping and finally feel well rested! Then, for seemingly no reason, these results tapered off,...

Re: Need help optimizing therapy
Thanks for the response. As far as I can tell, the leaks are happening both with the mask and my mouths On the nights with high mask leaks, my mouth felt horribly dry when I woke up, which points to my tape getting a little loose during the night, despite it still being on my face when I wake up. My...

Re: Need help optimizing therapy
I maintained a consistent pressure of either 5.2 or 5.8 for around 2 weeks, but I was still feeling pretty tired, so that’s why I asked for advice and started changing my pressure accordingly. I appreciate the comment, but it kind of feels like you’re dancing around the answer, only leaving me more ...

Re: Need help optimizing therapy
Unfortunately, I don't have the data on those two nights; I didn't have an SD card, and it was on its factory range of 4-20.
Still though, if I'm ripping off the mask at night, does that usually means I need more pressure?

Re: Need help optimizing therapy
Are you sure about 5.8? People were telling me to increase the pressure, since it seemed like I was subconsciously ripping it off in my sleep, meaning that I maybe wasn't getting enough air. Could I try something like 6.6 or 7 instead?

Re: Need help optimizing therapy
I gotcha. Just checking, which night / pressure were you referencing? I had similarly low obstructive apnea events on both 5.8 and 12. Also, would you recommend I switch to automatic, or should I just keep it at one stable pressure? And finally, do you have any tips or tricks for preventing mouth le...
