Figured I would close this thread out: I had an in-lab sleep study. They put me in an altitude tent to mimic the altitude I am at while on an ASV machine. The ASV machine was able to control my mixed apnea and I was lower than a 5 AHI. I got approved for the ASV and hoping to get it once insurance h...

Doc mentioned they want to have a steady but higher pressure and to check back in two months from now. They acknowledged that I may need to get a bipap or ASV because of my altitude and severity of OSA, but they want to give it some more time. At least I feel better than I did without CPAP - will up...

Thank you all. I have been reading studies about the altitude and centrals. I am going out of town next week at a much lower elevation. The last time I did, my AHI was less than 5 each night. I will report back after next week. Last night, AHI was 12 - comprised of 4 for OSA and the rest for central...

I have the appointment on Friday. I just wonder if it is altitude driven as my AHI was less than 5 three days in a row when I was in Texas

Hello, 1) I did an at-home sleep study, so unfortunately it did not break down thee type. But, I did attach it. The diagnosis said this: Findings are consistent with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (G47.33). High heart rate variability noted which may be suggestive of a cardiac arrhythmia. Note that ...

Same issue last night. I am definitely more rested than I was pre-CPAP. I know the clear airway could be caused by the cpap, but the nights are mixed. I either have clear airways like this, or it is completely fine.

Hi all: I am about three months in and I can tell a difference between before and after the CPAP. Some nights my score is great and other nights my clear airways are out of control. I have tried to search, but I can not find a graph like mine in a post. I posted two examples, including a breakdown o...
