Re: Woke Up Gasping

Sure. Unless there is a significant leak , the volume of air inspired should be close to that of the volume expired. In your beginning three breaths of your original post the volume of air exchanged between 21:04:36 and 21:04:40 is fairly equal between Inspiration and expiration. ( the area under t...

Airyhead, it’s possible you had a brief period of palatial prolapse. If it keeps happening, talk with your sleep doctor. She might then want to refer you to an ENT.
Exactly.
Those last breaths before you ripped the mask off, see how you exhale (below the 0 line) is a suddenly pointy and narrow?

Re: standard or soft response

Since last night was not horrible, I think I'll just stay with what I have now for awhile: Pressure 7-14 EPR 3 Ramp on auto (start at 6 because it's comfortable) Soft response You've got me thoroughly confused. This is the night of May 8th. https://sleephq.com/public/4d1b5b83-9f83-4cbe-ae54-69fd7f1...

Re: standard or soft response

I had time to scroll through all - but my post got stuck. Pugsy's right - all those change were not doing you much good: You're pushing your minimum pressure far too high. You're making dramatic changes in pressure And you're not letting your body get used to whatever pressure you're trying. April 1...

I can't figure out how to get that window to pop up.
Put your mouse cursor on the vertical numbers in the flow chart, that should open the gray pop up.
Then click on the text that says Y-axis

Change your scale to Min =-77 and Max =77
It doesn't work.
That's a pity.

Re: 3-Year CPAP User Looking for Advice

Hope you'll be OK, Pugsy. Tell us when you can We got lucky. Didn't get a head on hit by the storms that formed. We were just north of the worst of it. Lots of lightening and thunder and rain and a little wind but as storms go....not bad where I live. Some places got lots of golf ball size hail and...

Re: 3-Year CPAP User Looking for Advice

But I think that just means my device is capable of doing that, provided I hit the "ramp" button instead of the "start" button when I use my machine. (This model has two separate buttons for those.) The OSCAR report also shows that the pressure never went below 9cm (in the Pressure graph) and that ...

Re: 3-Year CPAP User Looking for Advice

I can't do much right now either. We got tornado sirens going off and a big ass ugly storm heading my way. I won't have internet much longer. Hope you'll be OK, Pusy. Tell us when you can. I am experiencing a lot of difficulty getting to sleep, and right now this seems to be my biggest problem. I a...

Re: standard or soft response

Friends, If you want to compare your breathing patterns, you have to use the same scale for the flow chart. https://i.imgur.com/k7F79LB.png https://i.imgur.com/2Q1LEZG.png The Y-axis (vertical numbers) goes up to 180 (!) (the top number) in onward60's image, because of that humongous inhale at the b...

Re: standard or soft response

You zoomed at a place where a CA appears after you've taken a deeper breath -- that pause is natural. You also have a hypopnea and a flow limitation in that zoom, and you can see the machine responded by raising the pressure. It's programeed to do that. Now, try to zoom on that period from 04:45 to ...

Re: general question about flow limitations

Is this even remotely what you're talking about? I'm not even sure how I got this. I was hoping for something that included a central, but this popped up from who-knows-where. :roll: You got this by trying to scroll up and down with the arrow buttons. On OSCAR, they create zoom in (up) and zoom out...

Re: AHI 0.0 8 nights in a row.. is this a malfunction?

Nothing in the charts looks "stuck" to me. Your machine is recording flow limitations, and responding to them by raising the pressure. Your machine is recording snores, and responding to them by raising the pressure. Your machine is recording a changing flow rate, and you can see the flow change whe...
