Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Thanks for your answers regarding MAD, that's really helpful. I have a follow up sleep appointment which I've been told will be some time in June or July, so hopefully they'll be able to give me more information then on what may be causing my apnea. I think my flex has been set at 3 since I started....

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Thanks for your response vandownbytheriver. Were you awake from 05:30 to 06:20? That's when the pressure hit a max... no events noted. You are at lower pressures with lots of Flex, this can cause CA's. The monthly graphs do not support your conjecture, at least in early April you had high pressures ...

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
I thought I would give you all a bit of an update on the last few weeks on CPAP. I started trialling set pressures over 3 day periods as suggested by the SleepHQ guys to treat my aerophagia (I tried to get 3 days of solid usage to get enough data to look at). I started at 5, then increased by interv...

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Thanks for your post vandownbytheriver. Any time you see the pressure drop to 4, that's me hitting the ramp button to relieve pressure for comfort. All other changes are automatic from the machine. I watched a video from one of the SleepHQ guys who recommends trying a fixed pressure to view the affe...

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Yeah, 6th and 7th were great, and I felt a lot less tired upon wakening than I did on the 9th or really any other day in the past few weeks. I'm guessing that restart on the 7th was for pressure relief but I can't recall exactly. How do you suggest I proceed from here. Is another pressure change wor...

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
I'm back from my vacation so can share some more data. Here is a link to my Oscar reports from April 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th & 9th - https://imgur.com/a/YXfoJwE. I didn't really get any sleep on the 3rd due to being awaken by family members I was staying with, and I was travelling overnight on April...

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Thanks for your post pugsy.
The first flagged event at 7.30 was an awakening. I couldn't say for sure what the 2nd event was.
I've just created a sleephq account. Would you mind telling me what I'm looking for or if there's some data I need to share?
Thanks again!

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Results from my 3rd night with minimum pressure 5 - https://imgur.com/a/cVStdy4
Slightly longer sleep than previous nights (about 6 hours). Hypopneas and OA similar to previous night but CA back up again.
Aerophagia has remained the same too.

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Thanks for your input ozij. That's very reassuring. This was my 2nd night with minimum pressure at 5. Very similar to the first night. While I did I sleep a bit longer, I again woke up feeling like a balloon being pumped with air ready to burst. I had to take the mask off after a while to grab a lit...

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
My usual sleep patterns is about 1.30am to 9am, but I’ve been wakening up much earlier the past few days, I think due to the aerophagia. I normally have a nap around 6pm too for about 30 minutes to an hour. The clocks in the Uk go forward tonight though plus I’m going on vacation on Wednesday to the...

Brilliant, that's one less thing to worry about! Thank you all for your help. I'm much more positive about CPAP than I was this morning

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Thanks zonker and Miss Emerita for your posts. I will try increasing the minimum to 5 for the next few days and update you with the results. Thanks for letting me know about the calendar. I've closed it and provided a link with updated graphs in case any one wants to see it - https://imgur.com/a/Iyq...

Re: Help required to reduce AHI and Aerophagia
Thanks for your reply zonker. I can certainly try raising the minimum pressure to 7. Should I change the max pressure too? Also, do you think increasing the minimum pressure will affect my aerophagia?
