Re: Check my leak data please

Thanks for the fast and insightful reply Pugsy! I will refer my sleep doc to this conversation and show her the graphs. Perhaps bumping the minimum pressure to 8-10 would be a good place to start. A question: What makes you say Friday was the worst for leaks? Are you just eyeballing the number of LL...

Check my leak data please

Hello all, I've been on CPAP therapy for a couple years now and most days I'm either good or good enough (once in a while quite good). But this week I've been wrecked. I have a suspicion it's due to my mask leaking excessively. My employer switched insurance companies back in April and this company ...

Re: Sleepyhead and Sleepmapper leak rate discrepancy

You're right Krelvin! I see at the very bottom of the screenshot it says "Aug 03," and yet the data was for August 2nd, as seen on the upper-left calendar. I just uploaded last night's data (8/3), and it now says "Aug 04" at the bottom, and it doesn't matter which date on the calendar I choose -- it...

Re: Sleepyhead and Sleepmapper leak rate discrepancy

Krelvin -- I'm not sure what you mean by "right chart." I'm talking about the "leak rate" chart shown below. Other than the spike, it looks fine to me, but Sleepyhead said I had a significant period of time with large leaks. And it is the correct night's chart.

Sleepyhead and Sleepmapper leak rate discrepancy

Hello everyone. I just loaded my data into sleepyhead and according to sleepyhead's intro text, it said that last night (8/2) I had "significant periods of major mask leakage." However, this doesn't jibe with what the Respironics Sleepmapper says at all. In fact, the Sleepmapper says I had a 99% mas...

Puzzling decline in therapy quality

*Since I’m new to this board, I’d like to make sure I filled out my gear correctly before I ask my questions. I think I did, but I was unsure about what to put for the software. So I’ve included two pics to help identify my software: the tag for my machine, and the tag for my humidifier. My backgrou...

Hosebuddy suitable for stomach sleepers?

Hello all! I've been on the 'pap for about three months now and lately my issue is the danged hose wraps around me in my sleep. This causes me to either a) wake up multiple times to untether myself or b) sleep in an awkward position that causes all kinds of neck/back pain (no fun!). So I found the h...
