Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Something I thought I would add... Since I started therapy I have had significantly more congestion issues than I typically have. I have been using Flonase every night, and taking Claritin every morning as I thought it was allergy related. I have been having some chest congestion, and it almost feel...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Your OAs still look as though a number of them come after arousal breathing. I'm not sure quite what to make of this, especially in relation to advice about your settings. Does anyone else have thoughts about this? More generally, last night your first couple of hours look pretty peaceful, but then...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Thanks for the reply. I guess at this point I'm not shooting for zero, but under 2 would be nice. I uploaded my sleep data for the past 5 nights today, I had AHI around 5 most nights. I tried using a flatter pillow and tucking a second under my chin, it doesn't seem like I wake up with my chin tucke...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Thank you for the advice. I changed my min pressure to 8 last night. I also tried using a flatter pillow and kept my second pillow tucked under my chin. I had a lower AHI of 4 last night so I think it helped. It's hard for me to say if I'm waking through the night, I have had better luck not getting...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Well, travel is always unpredictable. I've had amazingly good nights in hotels and amazingly bad ones. I'm glad that on the whole you're doing well. For some reason the link isn't working; it just takes me to a request that I sign in. https://sleephq.com/public/teams/share_links/c6dff92d-090f-46f6-...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Excellent news -- thanks for letting us know! The FFM was going well for a few days, but the past two nights were not great. I had a 3 night long work trip, so 3 nights in hotels. 2 of the nights were ok, the last night my AHI was 4.9. It seems looking at my sleep data that there are more OA events...

Data Upload during Travel

Hi all, I have a question about the data upload from my Resmed Airsense 10 during time of travel. This past week, I woke up early, unplugged my device before it transmitted the night's data. I then plugged it back in later that day, used it that night, and did the same thing the next morning. The da...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

After a couple nights with the chin strap and mouth tape, which did help when used together. I got my Phillips Dreamware full face mask yesterday. I had the best AHI yet, and was able to stay asleep almost the entire night.

Hoping for another good night tonight!

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Thank you for the information about periodic breathing, I won't worry about that for now! I am not opposed to mouth tape, I did try it for a couple of nights last week. The only issue I had was my mouth would still fill with air, and I think I was swallowing it and had quite an upset stomach in the ...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Not sure why, but my trend the last three days has moved the wrong direction. I seem to be having a lot of large leaks, due to my mouth being open. I am still at a minimum pressure of 6 and EPR of 2, would it be a good idea to bump up to pressure of 7 and EPR of 3 and give that a try? Also, Oscar fl...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Glad to hear good news! Some stuffy noses want more humidity and some want less, so just experiment, I’d say. If this is a common issue, you might also want to use Flonase spray about one hour before bedtime. Be aware that it takes a week or two to kick in. I will try some different humidity settin...

Re: Help With SleepHQ

Drag everything that the CPAP loads onto the SD card. SleepHQ will sort it out.

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

I'm glad to hear things are going better! I'd wait maybe another day before making additional changes. Keep us posted! I had another pretty good night, AHI was 1.78! The only real issue I had was a stuffy nose that woke me up earlier than I had planned, which cut my night sleep a little short. Curr...

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

Good; you didn't have any CAs during the sleep test, so you will probably see those CAs go down with time. Your RDI index is probably significant. The RDI is an index that combines apneas, hypopneas, and RERAs, which are respiratory-effort-related arousals, and divides by the hours you were asleep....

Re: Coleman's Oscar Review request

It looks like the AHIc is 0 from my sleep study. I increased my pressure to 6 including ramp, and left the EPR at 2. I still had about the same CA as before, but I think I stayed asleep more throughout the night. I will take your suggestion and go with min pressure of 6 and EPR 2 for a few days, and...
