HELP...Machine set too High ?

Hello,

I've lost about 10 pounds so I'm at my normal weight. My AUTO CPAP machine is set at 8-11. Although my avg. API is at 2.9 I'm a bit tired. Could it possible that 8 is now to high for the low end? The machine does sit close to 8 for most the night.

Need opinion..Pressure setting

My auto settings are at 8.5-11 and my 90% is at 9.1. I seem to be getting tired again in the middle of the day. Would anyone out there know if I should make a pressure agustment?

My AHI's are good a 1.0

Any suggestions?

Re: leak rate gigh / ahi low

How can a low AHI mean nothing with a leak leak rate just 20% above the recommended level ?

Hello, I have a Resperonics (auto) M series set at 8.5 -11, my mask is a Resmed Activa. The Encore Viewer says my leak rate is 34-37 but Resmed says it should be a high 20's leak rate. Because The mask and the machine are different makers should I not be assuming that the software is correct when it...

Accuracy with Encore Viewer ????

Hello,

Although my software tells me that my AHI's are 1.8 to 3.5, I still question the accuracy of the Encore Viewer software. Does anyone else question it's accuracy?

Masks wear out ?

Hello,

I've been using a Mirage Activa Nasal Mask for about 10 months, do these things wear out? Is there a recommended time frame as to when to change your hose ?

Re: When machine is not set low enough ?

i find it hard to believe that an (auto) machine set too low (on the low side) has no effect. Too much air at any point can be a hinderance

When machine is not set low enough ?

Hello, My CPAP machine is set at 7.5 - 10.0, I've lost 20 pounds recently but have been feeling kind of crappy during the day. Does anyone know the ramifications of having the machine set too high on the minimum? In other words, would it make much difference if the machine was set at 7.5 when it sho...

Re: Anxiety ??

Thanks..My anxiety is more of the anxious type that a little bit of Xanax seems to curtail. I wonder if it's just coincidental that it started when I started CPAP treatment.

Anyone out there start anxiety issues upon starting CPAP treatment?
