Re: apneas stop when wife gets out of bed?
Looks like the apnea does get worse when I'm on my back. I woke up around 130 or 2 made a conscious effort to roll onto my side and sleep that way. Not a very difficult change to help in the mean time, but I think I'm surgery bound.

Re: apneas stop when wife gets out of bed?
Here we go, max pressure raised to 20, one pillow removed. I'm glad I made an appointment with a sleep doctor (although Granny is probably right about the ENT). I don't like the medical care in my county so I was able to get an appointment at the Mayo Clinic.

Re: apneas stop when wife gets out of bed?
I'm going to try taking away a pillow as well as a possible postural solution. Find some sites that show proper pillow height for side and back sleeping. The spine should be protected. https://drdavidtucker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/wrong-and-right-pillows1.png Thanks! Yes, I'm thinking I migh...

Re: apneas stop when wife gets out of bed?
Thanks guys! I've been bumping the pressure gradually, but I might as well set the max to 20. I'm going to try taking away a pillow as well as a possible postural solution. I can try to get a hold of that initial sleep test, I probably need it for my upcoming appointment anyway. I had to find a new ...

Re: apneas stop when wife gets out of bed?
Sleeping 12 to 13 hours EVERY night? That's WAY too much sleep, you're sleeping half your life away man!!! Yeah, that's why I'm here. I have an appointment with a sleep doc next month. It's likely related to long covid. I shaved yesterday to get a better seal, but last night was similar. Last year ...

Re: apneas stop when wife gets out of bed?
Thanks Pugsy. I tried to clean that image up a bit. Good to know cpap doesn't record data for phase of sleep. I've been looking into other sleep monitors. It can be hard to untangle long covid sleep disturbance from my OSA.

apneas stop when wife gets out of bed?
Hey everyone, I'm a new user to your forum and it looks like you are very knowledgeable. I have been on CPAP 100% compliant for about 7 years. I came down with long covid in 2022, including chronic fatigue syndrome, and have never fully recovered. Early last year my OSA was well controlled around 12...
