Re: When to change my CPAP

:x Thanks. I just want to understand if this is only a display problem. I still see sufficient pressure coming out and my wife tells me I dont snore. How long does a machine last and what is the criteria to make sure I need to change the machine. Thanks for your reply.

Re: should i get a cpap or apap? feeling exhausted all the time

Buy a APAP machine. You can use it in a CPAP mode if required. APAP machine will vary pressure according the extend of air way blockage. Some people can sleep throught this change in pressures while others like to have it in CPAP mode which is a fixed pressure. Buy a machine which enables you to cha...

Re: Still feeling tired with CPAP. Please help.

I have been using a straight CPAP pressure of 10 and EPR of 2. My sleep seems to be better with the straight CPAP. I am also trying to sleep on my side as this reduces my therapy pressure requirement. My average leak is around 0.86 and 95% pressure at 1.20. How should I interpret this data. My graph...

Re: Still feeling tired with CPAP. Please help.

Hi Julie, You had mentioned that my charts all over the place. Can you please mention specifically. I guess Leak lines are the indicators of the mouth breathing but I guess it is not that bad to suggest I should go for a full face mask. Is there anything else in the report that that I need to fix. R...

Pressure setting during REM sleep

Hi,

I read in one of the thread that during our REM stage we need a higher pressure. My pressure median is 12 as per the sleepy head and I am using the pressure range of 9 -13. Should I tweak my pressure settings.

Re: Significance of AHI number

Hi Pugsy. I sleep on my back at the beginning. Also I felt little better than the previous night although not like what I was for the first week. I dont remember waking up more often in the night. May be 2 times last night. But still its much better than without the machine.

They recommended Cpap but I did no take it seriously. This year I decided to take control of things and bought s9 autoset. Don't...
