Nope, no meds. I did try, many times, but they didn't work (which, according to my docs, is consistent with OSA induced anxiety). Looking for trends has been frustrating, kinda like Where's Waldo : Light grey were rough days, dark grey were very bad days, bright green were excellent days http://i.im...

Work hard at figuring out what's causing the anxiety, but look beyond Cpap... however you might want to look at a pulse oximeter that records overnight oxygen stats (or desats)... like the 50D + (the plus matters) to rule out 02 problems . What's going on in your life otherwise (for you to examine,...

Quick update, still playing with my settings and averaging AHI ~3. Feel great for a few days and then I feel the worst Anxiety for a few days, its almost unbearable. Not sure how CPAP can INCREASE my daytime anxiety. I have no problems with the mask or the treatment as I am hopeful that it will help...

I can see that you have thought about this alot - who wouldn't, after all, if you are feeling so crummy and nobody can explain why. I was not at all suggesting that you don't have sleep apnea that needs to be treated... just that something else may be going on as well. I understand how frustrating ...

I am concerned that whatever is going on may not have anything to do with your CPAP therapy... for you to be feeling so very bad... I'm thinking you might want to touch base with your physician about this... please take care of yourself... I certainly agree and I have a team of doctors. A little (o...

Acid reflux (GERD) is very common with apnea, and you might try half a TUMS before bed (too much can backfire) to see if it helps... it's often called 'silent' reflux but wakes many of us a lot of the time unless we cut way back on caffeine after noon (or at all) and other acidy stuff. Haha... yes,...

Your perspective on the EPR might be right, I will give it a shot if I can get stable. Right now my primary goal is to reduce the awful state I am in - its not the fatigue that really gets me, its the severe brain fog stuff - I just feel confused, dizzy, lethargic and depressed (I have felt this way...

Thanks, thats good to know (was really irking me as to why that was happening). I might have some nasal congestion, I had a small cold last week and its humid and hot here the past few days. I have tried the EPR before, but each time I turn that on is coincidentally when I start the downward slide i...

Well, the new pressure created some really bad aerophagia so I woke up for a while (but didn't sleep without the mask).. quick question, is this normal that the APAP ramps all the way to max pressure with no events (right at the beginning), shouldnt it stay low until it registers an event and THEN r...

I'd raise it to 7.6.

Sure, I will give that a try, done.

About to head to bed and roll the dice for another night on the CPAP. Tonight I am raising the pressure to min:6.6 Max:13 and removing the EPR (as this all started the night I turned on EPR, although, I turned it down to 1 last night and had a HORRIBLE day today, so I doubt they are related). I can ...

I can do that... Thanks!

take a look at what was requested, what you did was close, but still missing a good bit.

Fixed:

Now I would be curious to know what your sleep study said... you can get a copy (full one, not just the summary) by law from your doctor. Has anyone suggested the possibility that you could have complex apnea? It's a mix of obstructive events with centrals, the kind that don't respond to regular Ap...

Sorry but I am running v.1.0.0-beta-2 (cb213cc) which appears to be the latest version according to the download page and the updater, is there a newer version out there somewhere?
