Re: Setting Min Pressure referencing OSCAR Data

I have been raising pressure 1 every night, trying to get arousals to go away. I have gotten to 9/6 last night and flow rate looks decent but still getting arousals. Going to try 10/7 tonight. How does the FR look before arousal? I'm noticing a pattern. On basically all my nights, the first arousal ...

Re: Setting Min Pressure referencing OSCAR Data

So last night was a big success! I had practically no events and less flow limits. This is with 6 pressure 3 EPR, on my back (how I like to sleep). I can't wait to try out a chin strap tonight to see if that stops all these arousals from happening. Because at this point I don't have any "apnea" even...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

All those pics really come down to is "You have sleep apnea, and it's pretty bad". Your oxygen only went down to 93% which is not that bad. My AHI was only 3 but my oxygen dropped to 89%. But you have a pretty high amount of events caught in your study. Your original post's pic only shows half an ho...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

The first one looks like another OA but the other two look like post arousal CA’s. Basically you “wake up”, breath deeper and then when you drift back to sleep you stop breathing so your co2 levels get back in sync. You do this while awake too you just don’t realize it. If you take a few deeper brea...

Re: Setting Min Pressure referencing OSCAR Data

Sorry about that! I’ll do better next time!

Yeah I know I should have just changed one thing but I was confident in my theory so I got impatient.

Re: Setting Min Pressure referencing OSCAR Data

Last night I upped the min pressure to 6 and I took EPR off (used to be 3). My theory was that taking EPR off would keep my airway more open during exhalation, and also I find EPR makes it so I can't really sleep because it goes out of sync with my breathing. Surprisingly I fell asleep great but my ...

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

That flat line bit at the start is where you stopped breathing and the machine marked it as an Obstructive Apnea. So you woke up from the OA and took the mask off.

Re: Removing mask unconsciously after 1–3 hours despite low leaks and good AHI

I'm not an expert or anything ( I just started myself ) but it looks like you wake up, move around for a few minutes and then take the mask off. Maybe investigate why you are waking up in the first place. You don't have a flow limit around the time you wake up but maybe the machine just isn't catchi...

Re: Setting Min Pressure referencing OSCAR Data

Your Flow Limitations aren't quite as ugly as we might first think because of the scale involved. Your scale for FLs is only 0.5 which can give the illusion that it is worse than it is. Most of the time the scale goes to 1.0 so having it go to 0.5 makes for bigger looking spikes but really not all ...

Re: Setting Min Pressure referencing OSCAR Data

Are you having much (if any) nasal congestion at night? No I don't think so. I mean my nose does the thing where one nostril is 90% clogged but it switches every 30-60 minutes so I think that's normal. Also just to be clear, I am not aware of the arousals while they are happening. I didn’t even kno...

Setting Min Pressure referencing OSCAR Data

Greetings. I just got my Resmed 11 APAP 4 days ago and it has already made a HUGE improvement in my quality of life. I got it through Lofta and at first it was at 4-20 but I have been looking at my OSCAR data and see that my Flow Limit causes a pressure increase to between 6 and 7. Does that mean I ...
