I do have central sleep apnea. I am on an auto ASV. I have been on this one about 6 months or so BUT...I don't use it much anymore, I try every night, if I fall asleep with it on, I leave it on until I wake up and can't get back to sleep (usually 3-4 hrs), then sleep rest of night without it. If I d...

Not sure if this is Off Topic??? Does anyone ever notice what I call spontaneous or reflex type breaths WHILE AWAKE (I am talking about during the day not in bed)? I also notice these while on my CPAP sometimes but am more concerned about them while awake and moving about. I am not sure if it is som...

The wife is always right "Happy Wife, Happy Life", a motto for you to live by!!

As to the toss and turning, usually this is how it happens, I kind of come up from a deeper sleep feeling stiff somewhere and turn over or move/stretch parts of my body, but usually I don't come up fully, and usually fall back to a deeper sleep in maybe 10 minutes or so....those are the good nights....

Even if I was on CPAP for 2 months prior??? I feel like I am sleeping well, except like I said I tend to turn a lot to relieve stiffness. Does flex or humidity or restlessness affect AHI? Also, three weeks is a short amount of time for your body to fully adjust to ASV therapy. I think most of us fin...

Does the flex or humidity settings affect AHI numbers? Also being restless or tossing and turning, will that affect the AHI numbers. My reason for asking is even with the new ASV machine (been about 3 weeks) I am still having about 9-13 AHI every day. My centrals are around 1 or so, my OAs are aroun...

Thanks everyone for your responses, but I only get the eye problems when I am tired. I think it is either thyroid or RA related.

Do you guys find your fatique settles in your eyes?? For me my eyes get very puffy and swollen and they feel very tired and it is hard to focus....which I think makes me feel tired all over. It does feel like allergies but I feel it is related to my XPAP treatment or just my SA "illness", but I also...

My ASV is serving up some really big pressure/breaths (for a long time) early on while I am still awake (trying to fall asleep) that is actually keeping me awake, why is it doing that....I feel still wide awake while this happens? Any way I can fool it to not serve up those huge pressures, so I can ...

Wilsonintexas-Did you go from CPAP/BiPAP to ASV? Did your fatique get worse while adjusting to the ASV? I am on ASV for two weeks..... I have had an AHI of 0 every night... (ok 0.3 when I was holding my breath to see if it was really working because I did not believe 0). I am still fighting sleep di...

I was hoping the transition from CPAP to ASV wouldn't be like starting over completely.

Does your level of fatique change if you AHI numbers lower but never gets into the "acceptable therapeutic level" as an example AHI 50 but on cpap/xpap you are only able to bring it down to AHI 10? I am still adjusting things but am curious if the fatique level is associated with the AHI numbers. So...

Thanks John, I am most concerned about the beginner stupor. I remember the first few weeks on the CPAP, I was a zombie, but we were not so busy at work, but now we are busy, I need to function, luckily I have some modifinal as an emergency. Yes I noticed my mask expanded during big pressure. Also I ...

I had the same thing happen for awhile, minus the numbness. There were times I thought I might faint (but never did), it is very scary. I never thought I had sleep apnea either but was getting unusually tired everyday and 1 doc gave me a home oxomiter to check my oxygen levels and it was ok so he ne...

Well last night was my first night from my CPAP to ASV, (I still haven't changed my machine yet in profile, I will after I figure out which machine it is). The first pressure change shocked me then they got easier, there was some audible leaking sounds on my mask (on the higher pressure times, I twe...
