Re: Years of CPAP, APAP, now ASV usage and still exhausted

My general description of my sleep is that I usually fall asleep right away and sleep until my alarm goes off. I just feel that I don't get into the deep sleep for the three or four times per night that normal sleep cycles would expect.

Re: Years of CPAP, APAP, now ASV usage and still exhausted

I'm not really sure why I was prescribed an ASV as my results with my previous Phillips APAP were almost identical. I think the ASV was prescribed since that is what was used during my sleep test this past January. I guess the Dr. thought it addressed some central apnea events that I seem to be havi...

Re: Years of CPAP, APAP, now ASV usage and still exhausted

When is the last time you had a full complete physical evaluation including routine labs...and some not so routine labs like hormone levels and vitamin D levels? About a year ago. Do you take any medications of any kind? If so, what? No Do you have any other physical or mental health issues going on...

I'm not sure why the OSCAR figures didn't display as I uploaded them along with the original post. Here they are.

Re: Years of CPAP, APAP, now ASV usage and still exhausted

I have had several physicals to rule out other issues over the last three years, where the doctors have said that I seem remarkably healthy for as bad as I feel.

Years of CPAP, APAP, now ASV usage and still exhausted

Here is the short summary: I had my first sleep study in 2013 and could never sleep with the ResMed S9. Tried an oral appliance for years. In December 2017 I got a new Philips APAP and could easily sleep with it, but still exhausted after over two years of daily 8+ hour/night use. Sleep quality decl...

Re: Nine months of CPAP use, low AHI, still exhausted

I'm having a hard time following the comments here since the other person is posting in my thread and listing information that is not relevant to this thread. Should I start the process over by making another thread?

Re: Nine months of CPAP use, low AHI, still exhausted

I have attached screenshots for three nights in a row. The AHI values were 1.96, 5.53, and 12.10. I think I took an Ambien on the night with the lowest score. I normally only take Ambien when I am traveling internationally and the time change will be more than 3 hours.

Nine months of CPAP use, low AHI, still exhausted

I have been using my Philips Respironics DreamStation Auto CPAP with my Philips Respironics DreamWear Nasal CPAP Mask since 30 Nov 2018. I have used it every day with an exception of about 10 days in the time period. The exceptions were when I was on a red eye flight or my nose was irritated so I us...
