Wake-sleep tansitional apnea issue

Benn using cpap for 15+ years, pressure set to 10cm, AHI typically 2-3, good compliance, good therapy for a long time until a couple years ago. Started to experience wake-sleep transitional apnea where I would wake up and breathing hadn't started for a split second. Increased pressure to 10.6cm and ...

Re: Struggling after switching to APAP from CPAP

Same mask, not sure about the leak, I do struggle with finding a good mask and have to pull this one (F20) tight, so it could be better. I may try some different masks, but any suggestions are welcome where there was success with getting a good seal at high pressures. Not sure on the flow limitation...

Re: Struggling after switching to APAP from CPAP

Tried my old machine, resmed airsense 10, fixed at 13 cm H2O, no EPR. Didn't get to sleep until about 130am, so alot of the early stuff is just me lying there with my eyes closed, not sure what is being flagged, seems strange with the events there. Seem to still have flow issues, not sure if that ne...

Re: Struggling after switching to APAP from CPAP

Just want to return to a good night sleep with the AHI in the normal range below 5. EPR, I did feel like the apap with the EPR was easier to use, but I would prioritize normal sleep over the EPR and seems like I wasn't using it with my old cpap for many years. In Colorado will be staying around 7000...

Re: Struggling after switching to APAP from CPAP

Pugsy, I was sleeping fine and feeling fine on the cpap, perhaps starting to notice a slight difference, but really nothing major, not tired or sleeping during the day, everything was fine. Switched to the apap machine when it arrived and I haven’t been sleeping as well, waking and not getting enoug...

Re: Struggling after switching to APAP from CPAP

Dog Slobber, appreciate your comments. I don’t mind using cpap or apap, my preference is whatever adequately treats my apnea. It was time for a new device and the Dr perscribed the apap with the settings, using my previous cpap pressure pf 10 as the min. In retrospect I probably need to go for a tit...

Worked for 15 yrs, my AHI avg was 2-3, but over the last yr the numbers were creeping higher and sometimes 5 or slight...
