Thxs for the responses...yes its fatigue, day in and day out.. I sent an email to my PCP with the above suggestion and he didnt bat an eye, he just approved the work? Kind of strange ... Is there any other test I can suggest before I head to get my blood work done? I did have the CBC and CMP done in...

I recently had my annual physical and ask the Dr to have my Vit D level checked and lo and behold it was in the 22 range.

Vit b1
Vit b2
Low T
Iron
Cortisol
Thyroid T3,T4
hemoglobin AIC (?)

darco, The Breathing Not Detected flag appears to be a SH bug. Usually when there's a Breathing Not Detected flag, there is a gap in the flow rate curve, but not in the pressure or leak curves. Your SH data shows a perfectly normal looking flow rate curve throughout the night. I would report this a...

I believe this has been discussed to death...you may want to do a search

Looking at your SH data, it is really odd. Your machine is reporting that it is not detecting breathing 92% or so of the time. This may be real or it may be an error in the SH display. **well its still in Beta.... The leak rate graph shows periodic significant leaks that mostly correspond with spik...

Can someone give me feedback on last nites session? I woke up today like I do most days, feeling tired even tho my numbers look good (?)...Been on therapy for 659 days. I have heard of sleep debt but this is crazy. I have had insomnia/sleep issues for most of my life, I would say since my early 20's...

I dont see the 560p listed so I guess you dont want it

I took a nap yesterday using my cpap machine which I never do during day. Put my head gear on then I realized it was too light out so I put on my Velcro adjusted sleep shade mask, wow it held the head gear in place. Last nite I purposely used my sleep shade mask and my leaks dropped quite a bit...gi...

I was diagnosed w/moderate sleep apnea (AHI 23) but my oxygen level was in the 90's so my insurance rejected my claim. Luckily my sleep Dr stepped up for me and got me approved.
Good luck

You know I am just here to help you no matter what you decide...and if you want to try full face mask...I make a suggestion that might work and won't cost you much money. You didn't ask about maybe trying other nasal pillow masks...but if you had...then I would try to help there. My personal though...

You are right...someone is going to tell you that those leaks aren't bad but hey...even though they aren't huge leaks maybe they are disrupting your sleep so by all means...try a full face mask to see if it makes any difference in how you sleep and/or feel. Do make use of the cpap.com mask return i...

Ok, so I thought getting the Airfit P10 was going to my leak savior but unfortunately it is not...I know Ill get feedback saying my leaks arent bad but something is disturbing my sleep as everyday I wake up tired. Last nite I again tried taping my mouth shut just to see and my leaks are still the sa...

Actually Den , you helped me move from apap to straight pressure. What do yo think, should I bump it up?

Well after my first year using my cpap machine, what has it done for me? My numbers have always been good. Still battle leak issues but overall its fine. I still wake up fatigued and matter of fact I recently had my vit D level tested as some suggested this could lead to fatigue issues. I started ta...
