Re: Persistent fatigue

However, as I mentioned, every time there is even a small leak, it causes respiratory instability, and when there are no leaks, the instability decreases. So, personally, I see a correlation, and I thought you might agree with me on this. I genuinely believe that this is the major issue causing my p...

Re: Persistent fatigue

By looking at my previous graphs, do you confirm that the cause of my fatigue could be related to the leaks? If we observe each leak, there is a peak of respiratory instability associated with it.

Re: Persistent fatigue

I'm getting back to you after a little while, still tired, always the same thing. However, I have a question. After analyzing the graphs extensively, I noticed something. I observed that even minimal leaks are almost always the cause of respiratory instability. You can check on multiple nights; it's...

Re: Persistent fatigue

I come back to you after my night still in 7 - 12 but still no improvement still as tired.

Did you see my link that talks about my machine in more depth?

Re: Persistent fatigue

It's funny that you found my post on the other forum. How can my oxygen saturation be good despite having so many apneas? It should be disastrous, right? Did you look at the link I mentioned earlier about my machine? There is interesting information, especially about the difference between standard ...

Re: Persistent fatigue

I may have found what you were looking for to understand how the machine works - it's dedicated to SOFT & SMART machines. My machine is the smart MAX, and here's what it says on the manufacturer's website "As for the max variants, they integrate Bluetooth connectivity and provide full connectivity t...

Re: Persistent fatigue

I'm still tired after that night, I don't see any improvement, I don't understand what you're not saying about the CA, the machine reacts well, is that it? I am treated on another forum in parallel and someone tells me that it could be Intermittent Hypoxia 24/7, to use an o2ring that it would not co...

Re: Persistent fatigue

I'm getting back to you. I did set my pressure to 7-12, but there's something I don't understand from the graphs. Sometimes, I see a peak in the obstruction rate, but my machine doesn't seem to address it. Is this normal in your opinion? On the polysomnography I had done to check for sleep apnea, it...

Re: Persistent fatigue

Alright, I'll remove the EPR. Do you think it would be worth trying the dynamic mode just for tonight? It seems to be a more precise and effective mode, so why not give it a try?

Re: Persistent fatigue

Sorry, I was excited to try EPR. What do you recommend, should I stick with 7-12 or try EPR? By the way, I asked ChatGPT what "Dynamic APAP" means, and here's the response: Dynamic APAP mode: In this mode, the CPAP machine adjusts the treatment pressure in a more responsive and dynamic way based on ...

Re: Persistent fatigue

I'm getting back to you after my night with a pressure of 7-12 and an EPR of 2/2 (my machine doesn't allow adjustment up to 3). It's hard to say, but I feel like I woke up less frequently than usual, and the moment of respiratory instability coincided with my partner waking up to go to work. Additio...

Re: Persistent fatigue

EPR seems like a good idea, and I would like to try this feature on my machine. I have levels 1 and 2 available. Which one do you recommend?

Re: Persistent fatigue

I am currently seeing my doctor every two weeks for regular blood tests, and I will discuss this kind of condition with them. In my case, what would be the concrete effect of using EPR ? The problem is that in France, we cannot freely modify our machines because they are provided to us for free, and...

Re: Persistent fatigue

My blood tests are fine, and I recently checked my iron levels, which are also good. The strangest thing is that I am actually much more fatigued since I started using the machine. I tried three nights without the machine, and I had less fatigue, although I still experienced some because my AHI is s...

Re: Persistent fatigue

I have tested various fixed pressures ranging from 8 to 14, if I remember correctly. I would try them for a day or two, and then change when I realized I was still feeling fatigued. At one point, I tried a pressure of 8-12 for about a week, I'm not sure exactly, but I was still tired. However, I did...
