I have not been able to get the leaks below 26. There are no large air leaks, so I wonder what these leaks are. I will check the snores on my other days and follow up. I just cant figure out why I am so tired. My AHI is much lower than when I was using a full face mask with large leaks, but I have n...

So, I have been sleeping better and I started to feel better overall. I didn't need coffee to keep me awake during the day anymore. Driving and working became easier again. Then one of my cats became sick and we spent a bunch of time in the Vet ER. I stopped getting good sleep and my tiredness and p...

My Central Sleep apneas are higher again today. These numbers have only been going up since I have been using my nasal mask? one of my nostrils is usually always clogged. Could there be some connection between my clogged nose and the CA? Also, My AHI is higher today and I feel less tired. I don't un...

I just wrote up this huge message and it failed to post....ggrrrrrrr. Lets try it again. I woke up tired and was tired all day. About 11, I got that real heavy tired feeling. It lasted about 3 hours. Even though my CA is still kind of high, the rest of my numbers were still the best so far. I would ...

OK. here is last nights graph:

My cpap must have an internal memory card, because this morning when I analyzed the data for last nights sleep, Thursday nights data was on this card as well. I had forgotten to put the sd card back in the cpap before bed on Wednesday night. So, I have been on the nasal mask for 3 nights now. All of...

Oh, another thing. 2 nights ago, when I was using the nasal mask for the first time in a while. I had the problem with the mask fluttering and vibrating on my face. Well, I noticed last night the there is a sliding mechanism built into the mask. You can slide the mask part closer to the headrest. Wh...

Whoops! I totally forgot to put the SD card back in the CPAP last night before bed. I brought it with me to ask the doctor if he wanted to copy it and I left it on the dresser before bed. I was so interested in seeing what the numbers were. Damn it! Well at least, I do feel a lot better today. I'm n...

OK. So I went to the new pulmonlogist. He said to continue using only the nasal mask obviously. He did say not to worry about the hi CA for the time being since the CA has normally been low. There wasn't enough info to go off of for the high reading only on that day. He wants me to use the nasal mas...

I never had a sleep doctor. I went to my regular GP and was setup with an appointment with the sleep lab. The sleep doctor that read the initial report is a pulmonolgist and unfortunately is not in my insurance plan. So I just found another pulmonologist. If he recommends an actual sleep doctor, tha...

Honestly, It looks like I didn't give the pressure of 9 enough time before I cranked up to 10. I think that after a week when I didn't feel better, I just convinced myself that higher pressure meant better sleeping. Typical inpatient person. so, there really isn't much data using the pressure of 9. ...

OK. So I slept with the nasal mask last night. There were NO large leaks at all, however there were some leaks still. My AHI went down to 19 from 48. I don't think I feel as tired as I did yesterday. HOwever, I do still feel rundown, So I'm working from home today. Also, I have not used the nasal ma...

Yes, I have 2 cats. One is a new kitten. I thought the same thing. As soon as I got home, I checked the hose. However, I don't feel or hear any leaks. I just washed my nasal mask. We'll see how I make out. I'll definately be going to sleep early tonight. Driving home was uncomfortable to say the lea...

Its weird Kathy because I have been shaving before bed the last few nights and I've felt like I'm getting the best seals. Obviously if the numbers were wrong, I would feel better. But thats not the case. Do you have any recommendations for a stuffed nostril. Typically one of my nostrils is always cl...
