Re: SH Data Concerns

Okay, bear with me. I'm going to make a REALLY post. I will label each with what you are seeing. Here's the story: I was on CPAP ResMed S9 Autoset, pressure of 12, EPR off, then we tried switching to pressure 10 to help with the burping. The last two will be the night of the 8th (the data you've alr...

Re: SH Data Concerns

Okay, the pixmap caching was what caused my axis markings to disappear. I also redownloaded SH to make sure it was the current build. (May 2013) My Dr. doesn't know about the first half of the night being so much better than the second. I usually track my data to watch for changes. I also have spent...

Re: SH Data Concerns

I'm not looking for nice math numbers...I guess my question is if I should drag my butt out of bed when I first wake up...am I doing any harm or making myself more tired for the day by having all those "events" in the morning. I'm attaching my data from last night. FYI - I do hyperventilate in my sl...

Re: SH Data Concerns

Typically, with my CPAP machine, I would wake up around 7:30 or 8am, remove my mask, and fall back to sleep, but wake back up about every 10-30 minutes rolling around until I get up - probably at least partly because I stop breathing, although never in my life have I been aware of a lapse in breathi...

SH Data Concerns

So I LOVE my new BiPAP machine! Cannot wait to get the one I will keep next week! However, I have noticed a few things and I need some help understanding them. First of all, since I got my new machine, I have been sleeping several extra hours. I am just getting over being sick, so I'm not sure if th...

Re: Changing machines...will Sleepy Head detect?

Yep, it was VPAP that I was looking up. Stopped by the DME...feel much better now! I have always felt like I am lucky to have one of the rare DME's that aren't evil. The lady who set me up yesterday helped me today. (note that I also thought my room smelled odd - kind of moldy - last night...thought...

Re: Changing machines...will Sleepy Head detect?

Okay, so I did some more digging online...looks like current firmware should be 907...maybe higher...as all of those posts were from 2012. I also read a lot of updates happened in the 904...so seeing as I have 903...I guess I will raise hell. I have to be down the street to get new tires tomorrow an...

Re: Changing machines...will Sleepy Head detect?

Run hours...I didn't pay a cent for the machine...my insurance company paid it all, so if it works...not sure if it's worth the hassle. Also, the main office for the U.S. generically writes down the brand you're getting (which was a respironics...I actually wanted the ResMed since I had a ResMed Aut...

Re: Changing machines...will Sleepy Head detect?

Thanks Pugsy...I just hooked up the new machine! However, I did notice a few odd things. The bag it came in doesn't have a ResMed logo on it...otherwise identical...like it was a replacement bag. Then, when I plugged in the power brick, the shiny part has a lot of tiny scratches in it...similar to h...

Changing machines...will Sleepy Head detect?

I got my shiny new ResMed S9 Auto VPAP machine today! (lucky me, I met my deductible for the year, so it was 100% paid for!) For the past 2 years I have used a ResMed S9 AutoSet CPAP, but lately have been having air in stomach issues, so my doctor called in the order for a BiPAP machine. I use Sleep...

Re: Big decrease in CPAP use and heart palpitaions...connected?

I did go to the ER earlier. I have no chest pain since soon after I got there earlier...just very sleeping and a little flutter every now and then but I think that's more anxiety anyway. All my tests are fine and they said I am very low risk anyway. The only thing I have trouble believing is that my...

Re: Big decrease in CPAP use and heart palpitaions...connected?

Thanks everyone. I still suspect it's related. Yesterday I got really tired and woke up tired again today. I just felt "heavy" so I laid down. I was rolled on my right side petting my cat and taking a deep breath was triggering chest tightness/pain/breathing problems. I rolled onto my back: nothing....

Big decrease in CPAP use and heart palpitaions...connected?

I have severe sleep apnea and have been very compliant for the last two years (since the diagnosis). Since July I have had huge decrease in compliance because of another health issue. I started having breif sudden heart flutters about a month ago. A few times a week at most. I just had one that last...

Tap Pap users?

I am thinking the Tap Pap mask might be a really good switch for me (I currently use the Swift LT For Her nasal pillow mask) because I only have one ear and the darn mask is always slipping down on that side...but I do have a mouth guard for bruxism. I have two questions: 1) Is the bite guard for th...

Central and Obstructives from SleepyHead data...

So I'm finding it a lot easier to find information through Sleepy Head than it was is ResScen, and I've read Pugsy's tutorials. I've got some questions. I recently (like less than 14 days ago) went from 12 cmH2O to 10cmH2O by the advice of my doctor to try to see how that works. So far, there is abs...
