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 a night with mask down to 1 and 3 the last two nights. I feel really comfortable with the mas...

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 ...

For whatever reason, it recored last night, I was traveling, and got in bed late and had a short night's sleep. But I did get some data, and my total AHI was decent, for me. I will keep building data. While last night was not a good night of sleep, it was indicative of what I struggle with, I think....

The SD card is clicking in cleanly, and the machine is writing a new folder with the date each day for data, but not adding any data. The physical switch on the card is in the unlocked position. I assume it is in properly and unlocked, or the machine wouldn't place a new data folder on the card each...

Last night I left the card in the device overnight, but still got no data. Is there a setting somewhere in the Resmed 11 menu that has to be turned on in order for the device to write data?

That explains it! I was not leaving the card in the machine overnight. I will give it a shot tonight.

Thanks!

I have a few questions that I am hopeful you veterans can help me with. I have a Resmed 11, pressure set at 5-15 with auto ramp and EPR of 2, heated tube, and am still trying out different masks, but generally find the f20 Airtouch medium (foam) to be the most comfortable. I need a full face because...

Greetings! My history: In my late 50s, and have been a loud snorer for decades. In my 20s I did a sleep test and the technician said "you don't have sleep apnea, you just snore really, really loudly!" So I went on through life thinking everything was good. But over time, I started to wake up more fr...
