Re: Central Apneas

Cheers for all the help mate 👍 also I think I've been guilty of watching way too many YouTube videos on what to do and why you should change this, mostly LankyLefty27 and CPAP Reviews.

Re: Central Apneas

I take Ritalin for AD/HD doctor says that shouldn't effect things, as for awakenings usually just once to go to the toilet, then straight back to bed, last night was an ok sleep on just 5cm of pressure, however felt a little bit tired this morning, got around 6h30 sleep. Have trained myself to sleep...

Central Apneas

Hey peeps, anyone had any luck reducing Central or CA events? I heard a higher pressure can make the problem worse. Have been hovering around the 6-7 ahi mark of late with them and not sure how low I should dial down pressure if at all. Also if someone could take a look at my CA events and tell me i...

Mouth Taping

Howdy legends, going to give mouth taping a crack tonight as I keep waking with a dry mouth. In regards to ahi has anyone found taping to be beneficial in lowering it? Will be taping with a Airtouch F20 mask as it's the only ones I have, will pressure remain the same or will that also need to be low...

Re: Low Pressure

Yeah I've found I can lower my pressure drastically if I'm on my side, when I studied my data, my high pressure of around 11 was causing a whole bunch on central apnoea's. Even the centrals I get now appear to be after an arousal as breathing is looking much more consistent.

Low Pressure

Has anyone found great results with low pressure and positional therapy? My sleep specialist wanted me on a static pressure of 11, did that ahi was at 11 constantly. Now I've dropped it right back to 7 and am having nights ranging from 1.5 - 5 ahi. Almost completely eliminated OSA events and my cent...

V-Com, Sleep Numbers & Mouth Leak..

Hey Peoples 👍just after some opinions on the V-Com, is it really as good as people say? Also struggling with a really dry mouth, leak rate is always very good but I think I tend to sleep with mouth open. Currently using a full face mask and toying with the idea of mouth tape, cervical collar or chin...

Re: Real Centrals or not?

Amazing information once again 👌have attached last night's numbers, have been hovering around the 5-6 ahi mark the last 7 days.
