ok thanks! So if the tongue is falling back and obstructing does the "EPAP Min" or "EPAP Max" need to be adjusted?

I have an Auto ASV machine and wanted to know what pressure setting is most responsible for stopping tongue obstructions in the mouth? Would it be the "PS" or the "EPAP" settings?

Is it the:

Max PS
Min PS
Max EPAP
Min EPAP

Thanks for the info. Is there an alarm I can set so that after not breathing for 10 seconds I hear a beep of some kind? 30 seconds seems to be a while to go without breathing...I'd rather get an alarm at 10 second mark than go 30 seconds.

I viewed my sleep data via SleepHead software and noticed a few instances where I stopped breathing for about 30 seconds. I checked pressure during this time and it looked like nothing changed (maybe it went up 1). Shouldn't the pressure go up a lot more to get me to breath? Obviously something need...

Is there some sort of test one can do to figure out what body part is causing the obstruction? I can go to the doctor to be put under and he can check but that seems a little extreme. Maybe there is a night vision camera attached to a night guard or something? Anyone have any tips?

I''m curious if anyone uses an oral appliance + CPAP? If so would you recommend it?

I'm thinking an oral appliance would allow the pressure settings to operate at a lower level thereby making things more comfortable and less prone to leaks.

I use 1 pillow at night with my ASV machine and wondering if using 2 or 3 pillows to prop myself up would reduce the obstructive events I have? (I can breath fine through my nose but its somewhere in my throat that has obstruction).

Anyone have experience on this?

I'm awake enough to notice the collapse so I do not have to be 100% a sleep to notice this. It happens when I'm on my back or my side. (I know not to sleep on my back). Yes I do have ramp setting for 15 minutes and when I notice the collapse happening I disengage the ramp and start at full pressure ...

Sometimes when I'm trying to fall a sleep but still awake in bed I will feel an obstruction occur near back of my throat for a second or two. * Is this common? * Anyway to figure out what is collapsing? i.e. tongue, uvula, tonsils ect. (I can confirm that the front of my tongue has not moved but not...

Yea I just checked again near language and don't see it. I have "Apnea alarm" and "patient disconnect" alarm.

I have the PR One 60 series (BiPap) but do not see "silent mode" in clinical setup.

Does that mean I'm stuck with the beep? :/

Anyone know how to disable the loud "beep" sound when you first start the machine? It's very loud and annoying.

thanks!

Anyone know if there is an oxygen machine which will dispense oxygen at night if your blood oxygen level falls below a certain point rather than a continuous flow? If so what is it called and where can one get one?

Yes but I feel like crap after drinking 1 glass of red wine..If I drank 3 glasses of red wine and felt like crap I would understand

Yes its in ASV mode. I tried Auto ASV mode before it kept blowing my cheeks up with air and couldn't fall asleep. I'm going to try auto ASV mode again but this time set it on a timed 20 minute ramp so it will kick on fully when I'm sleep.
