Thanks, I'll try that. Just to clarify you mean 9-11 with a PS of 2 then?

Re: Is there anything other than ASV I could try?
That's not a typical bedtime for me, no. I usually get a solid 8 hours. Probably not a good night to use as an example in terms of my overall sleep. Just wanted to address that waxing and waning pattern, which looked like periodic breathing to me. I don't drink caffeine or alcohol. No pets or signif...

Is there anything other than ASV I could try?
My AHI was below 5 but I still felt like crap so recently, I had a PAP therapy analysis with CPAPfriend and made significant progress. Upon inspecting my flow rate, he noticed irregular breathing patterns, shallow inhalations compared to exhalations, and long periods of waxing and waning breathing. ...

Re: BiPAP was working amazingly and then stopped
I stuck with 7.8-11.8 for a few days and the CA flags did go back to their usual 1-1.5 range but the obstructive apneas also got worse again. Tried bumping up to 8-12 and the CA flags increased again :/. After learning more about how to read the flow chart and examining a lot of nights worth of data...

Re: BiPAP was working amazingly and then stopped
Some thoughts based on the feedback you guys have given: Bedtime definitely isn't an issue. My bedtime varies by 20 minutes or so typically. Sometimes I put the mask on at different times but my bedtime is definitely regular and these days I consistently get 8-9 total hours of sleep with roughly 7 o...

Re: BiPAP was working amazingly and then stopped
Somehow I totally missed this response. Ironically I've learned a lot what you said here in the past month and things have improved. Not as good as I was doing in the beginning, that was the OSCAR chart with the 0.69 AHI I had initially posted, but better. I was on BiPAP because I wasn't able to tol...

BiPAP was working amazingly and then stopped
I started using my BiPAP around the end of October and noticed a huge difference in how I felt. More energy, concentration, memory, all that good stuff. Then just before Thanksgiving I start feeling like crap again. Sometimes even worse than before I started BiPAP. Occasionally I would have a few ni...
