Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
I'm back. No good results, but a lot of updates: I have since gotten an iron deficiency treated with infusions. I felt great-- for a couple weeks! I quickly went back to feeling awful. I've since had an MSLT to test for narcolepsy - no sleep-onset REM, though I fell asleep in all five naps, not quic...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
You know, that's a good point, I'm really not sure if I had Covid or not - I definitely got very sick early in 2020, but it was early March, well before Covid was widespread. I've never known, there weren't tests at the time - I've had issues with sleep my whole life though, I think just recently th...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Hi all, I'm back after a long absence to say: Everyone here was right, and I was so confident in my own understanding but I was just wrong. Thank you for being so patient with me and for offering such grounded advice anyway! I kept trying to push the pressure up higher, and only had issues upon issu...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Hi all! I'm back again! After a lot of struggling and bad nights again, I booked a consult with a respiratory therapist and they recommended bilevel. I've done a great job of getting my AHI events relatively low, but was still having very poor sleep. I'm giving bilevel a try, and having a few issues...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Hi robysue -- I want to thank you SO much for all the effort you put into reviewing my data. Truly, I so appreciate it, and your insights - I'm precisely a month in, which isn't no time, but I have so much left to learn, and details like this are SO SO helpful, I cannot express how much I appreciate...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Thanks so much for your input! I've spent a solid week at continuous pressure, and definitely has helped quite a bit. I do unfortunately follow a lot of the given suggestions about sleep health already, partly as I've had so many issues. Currently I've had a couple bad days after a 5-day good streak...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Hi all, Back with some perplexing data. I feel like every time I try something new, it works really well for two days, and then just stops working and my numbers skyrocket. Night dated 22 in OSCAR I felt just awful for reasons I'm not certain of, but the 21 was really good, second night with cervica...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Huh, TIL! Thank you Pugsy - I felt as though when I looked at my charts it was corresponding to pressure increases, but if that's the case it must have been due to flow limits. Still have a lot to learn, appreciate the info!

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Back with some more data! First day with cervical collar - tbh I should have figured out how to sleep with it BEFORE going to bed, it took me awhile, and I definitely unfortunately was up in the middle of the night. There's a ton of junk data at the start of this - that was me trying to get comfy an...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
No medicines outside of Flonase/Azelastine. Vitamin D, Iron supplement when I remember it, B12 in the early afternoon when I remember it. Not much else! I'm slated to begin ADHD meds at some point, but I'm trying to get this whole situation to a relatively-stable place first. Unfortunately my study ...

Re: 2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Omg, thank you SO much for the detailed response!! You've already made me feel so much better as I try to navigate this whole maze of a condition, especially just in spotting what I thought I was seeing as well in flow limits. I'll try the EPR of 3 again. Do you think a higher pressure might help wi...

2-week mark and sleepy - help with high CA's and malformed flow??
Hi folks, I'm two weeks in and looking for advice on settings and something odd I'm seeing. After an up-and-down first week, I've settled at what I'd call "mediocre but consistent sleep" - which is an improvement on the day-to-day, but I still don't feel great - foggy, a little tired. I wouldn't min...
