Re: Looking for advice - Tired, Morning Headaches, etc.

More pressure is never going to reduce those CAs/centrals. More pressure will help reduce OAs and hyponeas that are obstructive in nature when a person is actually asleep. The bulk of your AHI is central but the bulk of those centrals are post awake/arousal flagged events. You weren't sound asleep ...

Re: Looking for advice - Tired, Morning Headaches, etc.

Turned off the ramp, and it doesn't bother me from a comfort standpoint but I'm not sure it's really making a difference in sleep quality at all. I've been aware of waking up at least 3-4 times a night, and my AHI has been between 3-6 the past few nights. I raised my minimum pressure from 8 to 9 las...

Re: Looking for advice - Tired, Morning Headaches, etc.

I do wake up quite a bit. Probably 3 times on average per night that I remember. I looked at the SleepHQ report because I could zoom in on the flow rate (breaths) and there is evidence of a LOT more arousals/awakenings than just 3. We don't remember all arousals especially when the time awake is ve...

Re: Looking for advice - Tired, Morning Headaches, etc.

Do you remember waking up very many times during the night? How many? Do you take any medications of any kind? If so, what? Do you have any other physical or mental health issues? I take Xanax as needed but only to help me sleep when my mind is racing. Rarely any other time besides that. On average...

Looking for advice - Tired, Morning Headaches, etc.

I've been on CPAP Therapy for over a little over four years now. While I've certainly had some positives from it - I wouldn't say it's ever had the results I was hoping for. Leading up to me being diagnosed with Sleep Apnea I had fatigue and headaches pretty consistently every morning when waking up...
