To Clarify: My insurance deductible is paid and the ins will cover 90% of the machine. I am just frustrated they are charging me rent for a machine I bought outright! You are right about them not refunding money, They just give you a "credit". I'll just be patient and see if the 2nd call from my ins...

I started CPAP in April. Paid $500.00 up front for my cost. Blue cross coverage. Insurance allowed $340.00. Now my DME is telling me the first two months were rental and ins will only cover 50%. I never agreed to rental and thought I was purchasing the machine. I should have $150.00 credit but inste...

Thank you Johnbfisher.

It is nice to see a scientific journal with source info.

17 days in, By my sleepyhead results, I noticed a pattern of CA events (15-20) within the first 30 minutes of sleep.

I am on an ASV machine. (never been on CPAP) Could this be me "fighting" the machine?
I keep hearing that ASV takes longer to get used to...

Does anyone who uses ASV have this same problem?

Thanks Pugsy,

I'll have to exercise some patience.
I do have a follow up in about 30 days.
My Oximeter was provided by DME and turned in next day.

I guess Complex Apnea will take some time to correct...

Last night 93 events with 7:06 duration
Divide by 93 = approximately 4.5 seconds.

Cluster of centrals in first hour then random Hypop through night.

Realized I hadn't asked a question...

Are the headaches normal or should I ask for adjustment with the results posted

14th day on Bipap. I am experiencing a slight headache in the AM and still tired after lunch. Just had an Oximeter test and doctor review said I looked better. (no numbers) My 7 day averages from Sleepyhead: AHI 9.75 Flow limit index .29 Hours per night 6.2 Min EPAP 6 95% EPAP 11.2 Max IPAP 18.2 95%...

I have just started this new machine and my AHI still hovers around 9. Is this normal for an ASV machine? My initial AHI in sleep study was 90.

Sounds a lot like checking your weight every day. I think I may fall back to once a week to monitor improvement.
Thanks for the help

Does anyone else feel like their becoming obsessive about sleep data. When does it start to fade into the background?

I am trying to interpret my 1st sleepyhead data.
I am a little confused about the leaks showing in sleepyhead. How do I post the data here?
