ahi went up with pressure increase

I was snoring while using my Resmed with face mask. So I upped the pressure from 15 to 15.6. The snoring quit, but my AHI went from 2.2 to 3.8. I brought the pressure down to 15.2. The AHI went down to 2.2, and the snoring is still gone. Coincidence?

Re: Pressure in mask seems less after 3 weeks.

The AHI stated was for the night. I took the machine in, and had the pressure checked. Everything is fine with it. Average AHI was 11 and change. I think I must just be getting used to it. The download covered enough time to meet the minimum requirements for use, and I see my doctor on the 17th anyw...

Pressure in mask seems less after 3 weeks.

I started on cpap about 3 weeks ago. I have a Resmed S9 and "desire" full face mask. The first 2 weeks, I could feel pressure in the mask, and I was having problems with my stomach filling with air. I tried the trick of rolling up my tongue, and that seemed to help. When I did this, the incoming air...

nose bridge rubbing relief

My fullmask rubbed my nose bridge raw enough to scab up. I tried a bandaid, and that seemed to make things worse. Not only leaks, but the mask would somehow tilt and really dig into the nose bridge after I fell asleep. I switched to the cloth tape meant for cotton pads, and that is a lot better. It ...

Re: Sleep apnea and evil spirits

No cats sleep in the house. I find it interesting that some programs ("Coast to Coast" ), or personalities perceive explainable things like this as something supernatural.

Sleep apnea and evil spirits

Hello, Recently, I heard about unfortunate people claiming to be visited by a spectre, or dark witch, or hag at night that attempts to do them in by sitting on their chest to stop their breathing. Nuts, I thought when I first heard these stories. Well, I recently was diagnosed with sleep apnea, and ...

Re: S9 Alien turned machine off but flow missing too. Any Ideas?

Hello, When I first picked up my new S9, it would periodically display a message stating the sdi card could not be read. I had to reseat it when this happened, and sometimes lost data. The machine got swapped out, and this has not happened again. I don't know if that helps, could be a temporary loss...
