Thank you, Granny. If you think I am not sleeping well now, you should have seen me before! My AHI was 59 untreated - I am sleeping like a baby now, but still looking to improve. Thank you for helping me.

Hello! I am checking back in hoping for some more wise advice. The CPAP has been a great blessing and it is quite comfortable to me now, with one exception: Sometimes after I doze off and the machine ramps up, it wakes me up and I feel a bit aggitated by the pressure. I did make an adjustment, lower...

I start it lower so I fall asleep before it becomes powerful- so I start it low and let it “ramp up” as I go to sleep. I might be accustomed to it enough now though, so I will give it a try.

Ok, I tried "for her" last night, but didn't adjust the pressure minimum, and there was little to no improvement; granted, it was only one night. I didn't want to move too many settings around at once and possibly confuse cause and effect of changes. I may try going back to regular apap vs "for her"...

Hello again! I have a bit more data recorded, and hope that y'all can take a look at it for me. I have had the minimum pressure on 10 for some time now, and have gotten a good comfortable mask with low leaks. I am quite comfortable going to sleep with the apparatus now, and in fact find it comfortin...

I have uploaded a few more nights of data, and the results of my therapy keep trending better, and it keeps feeling more and more comfortable. One question: the Sleep HQ app always reports that I am using an f30i mask, and I have to go into the data and change it to the f20 airtouch that I am actual...

Granny, I was suspect that raising it to 10 might be in the cards. I will give it a try. I cut the EPR back to 2 because I seem to notice pressure when I first start to exhale, then a drop off in pressure, and I find it a little bothersome. I get that is how it works, but it is less pronounced at 2 ...

Thanks so much, and and good luck with your CPAP too! I have a card and have been uploading data, and have linked to it in another thread. Thanks to the suggestions here, I have now dropped from 6-11 events/hour with mask down to 1 and 3 the last two nights. I feel really comfortable with the mask t...

I have implemented the suggestions, and am getting used the pressure now, and feeling quite comfortable. It looks like perhaps I may need to bump the minimum pressure up even slightly more? Please take a look at my Sleep HQ and see if you agree. Also, thanks to your suggestions, the last two nights ...

Yes Granny, "feeling" is the operative word. By morning, it"feels" normal and feels hard to breath when I turn it off. The first night I put an oxygen meter on my finger to help convince my brain that I was not actually suffocating, and that helped. All of this makes perfect sense; I will move the m...

I will give your suggestions a try. I think my sleep hygine is decent, but I also agree, my brain is adjusting to the CPAP. The mask does not bother me, but the pressure does give me a bit of a feeling of shortness of breath once I wake up. The pressure (or perhaps the apnea event) will wake me up a...

That would be outstanding! I've been trying different masks, and the mask data in sleep HQ may not be accurate. However, the 9/29 (most recent) night's data was with the resmed f20 airtouch, medium, and I have found it to give me the best fit, lowest leak rate, and lowest AHI. I am going to stick wi...

Last night (Monday) I used the new Resmed brand f20 airtouch - it was comfortable, I did not have to strap it as tight, and my leak rate was virtually zero. The knockoff brand I had bought off Amazon fit poorly, and the silicon was so firm I had to strap it tight, to no avail. I also adjusted the pr...

Thank you for the reply, and suggestion. I am going to leave auto-ramp on, and adjust pressure to 7-15, and try the new Resmed F20 with foam. I should be in for a good night's sleep! With that said, as bad as my charts look, they are much better than before. I am not getting up any to urinate during...

I will make those changes tonight. The ramp is currently set to "auto." Shoud I change it to a set time, and if so, what do you recommend? I will make the changes tonight, and also wear my new f20 airtouch medium, which arrived today. The f20 med airtouch I had was a knockoff brand, and foam system ...
