Can anyone tell me what this report is saying?

I'm not feeling much better but it could be that I'm back to being depressed...? any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Shouldn't I be seeing some signs?

Yes, you are correct...I only have the smart card and not the software. I guess I misunderstood the purpose of that in the profile. I did however get a copy of the report from my DME. Here are some of the numbers, if that is any indication to you... Avg Peak IPAP Pressure: 8.4 cm H2O Avg % of Night ...

Shouldn't I be seeing some signs?

Hello all, I'm concerned that I'm not seeing any improvement in my treatment. Yesterday was the start of week 5 on my latest machine (bipap autoSV). The only progression I've noticed is that I'm keeping the mask on throughout the night, which was not the case with the previous 2 machines as well as ...

HELP PLEASE...

I believe my doctor to be pretty knowledgable and on top things when it comes to my treatment for OSA. Maybe I'm wrong. I've been on 3 machines (cpap to vpap to bipap).
