Just my opinion....
A good doctor won't just changed the pressure without doing a study first.
Tell him to get a new doctor.

thanks
I have not received copies of the study yet, beside I don't think it will have detailed information on it. The sleep lab that I go to seems un-organized and I doubt if they will give me the data. We do not have the same options as you here in Canada. Our government pays for the study and half of the...

Got the result of my sleep study
According to the test, I am now need 10 cm of air pressure from 8 cm.
I tried 9 cm and I was getting AHI = 3.8 and at 8 cm = 3.6, at 8.5 cm = 3.3.
What would I expect to see at 10 cm? Will it be worst?

Just my opinion.
I have been playing around with pressure lately and this is what I found. My lab test shows that my pressure is 8, my AHI is 3.6. I tried 9 and my AHI is 3.8, I tried 8.5 and my AHI is 3.3. All test were done for 7.7 hours and zero leak. So, I am setting my CPAP at 8.5. I also feel more rested at 8....

I breathed through my mouth too.
Right now I have a bad cold and my nose is stuffed up. I am a UMFF user and the last two nights I had a good night sleep. I am using the pur-sleep aromatherapy called calm and it has some sort of mint to it that helps clear the sinus. Last night I used eucalyptus oil and it did wonder, 7 hours of un...

I went through the same phase for 2 weeks
I think it has something to do with the change of climate because I went through the same phase for a week. I noticed also that you have the same mask as mine. It has to be the humidity or room temperature.
However, I got over it and you will be too.

What is vibratory snore index?
My VS index is 19.5 but my AHI is 3.1. I do have a large leak for 1 hour, could this be the cause of VS being that high? I normally get VS in single digit. Should I be concern?
