Re: New to APAP

Wanted to share this one as well since the SpO2 dropped pretty drastically, which appears to have caused a wake up. The Nonin device could have been reading incorrectly though I guess.

Re: New to APAP

Just wanted to follow up with some new charts and see if my thoughts are headed in the right direction. I have still been having a hard time getting through the night. I have been trying various masks, which could be a detriment more than anything, but I seem to wake several times and then give up. ...

Re: New to APAP

Now if you were having a lot of nights with a lot of this central flagging....then we have a chat about those centrals. I slept right through that whole mess (see report below) and it has happened one other night only. Don't ask me what happened because we haven't figured it out. I have been on CPA...

Re: New to APAP

Can you tell tell me what I am missing or should have omitted? Don't need Exp time graph and that being gone would maybe let the other graphs be a bit larger. I don't know what you are doing but I can't read much of anything on your reports....too tiny. Plus I want a big picture of the whole night ...

Re: New to APAP

The wave flow data indicates that you finally got into a real sleep around 23:48. I think all eight events scored between 23:36 and 23:47 are likely false positives ---meaning the machine scored events that occurred while you were awake . That means we don't count these events as sleep disordered b...

Re: New to APAP

I concur with MissE, Robysue and LSAT about your not having a central apnea problem bad enough to warrant using a different machine. Please review which graphs to include when you share a report. You have stuff not needed and omitted stuff that is needed. So pay attention to the formatting of the g...

Re: New to APAP

I would suggest that you pause your night-time use of the machine for a few days. Instead, set up the machine outside your bedroom and using it during the day or evening when you're watching TV, reading, or doing something else sedentary and somewhat distracting. Do this for at least several hours ...

Re: New to APAP

There is a lot to unpack in these replies, so please forgive me having to post multiple replies. When you say you are "gasping at the occasional catch up breaths", exactly what do you mean? I ask because people use this kind of language to describe a variety of problems which have different solution...

New to APAP

Hello all. The whole process of getting an APAP machine and the excitement of the idea to get a good nights sleep to remediate the brain fog, morning headaches, etc has led to frustation. I have tried to use the APAP machine for about a week now, but after laying in bed wide awake gasping at the occ...
