Re: The sleep clinic went well, but can't replicate at home!
Thanks all for the responses. Zoocrewphoto - Whilst I didn't read this thread till this morning, I actually tried this last night and had a much improved sleep! I'll certainly bear this in mind going forward. Thanks for the pointer! Metafan302 - that's very kind of you to mention. How much would you...

Re: The sleep clinic went well, but can't replicate at home!
Hey All! Sorry for the delayed reply and thanks for all of your help. Firstly, to give you a quick update, I did indeed switch from APAP to CPAP at a pressure setting if 12 and am experiencing improved sleep. Wulfman thanks for the pointer here. Unfortunately though, issues remain! I'm starting to r...

Re: The sleep clinic went well, but can't replicate at home!
Hi all! Firstly, Pugsy - many thanks for the offer. One complication right now would be finding a way to get the data onto a computer as I still don't have one, and my work laptop is locked down for any external drives/sources/software. I believe they have a shared computer in my apartment complex s...

Re: The sleep clinic went well, but can't replicate at home!
Thanks for the responses everyone. So I'm going to push ahead with a fixed pressure of 9 tonight and disable the EPR. On top of that I'll look into obtaining the relevant software to track my progress. One potential limitation here is that I don't currently have a laptop! (I work in IT during the da...

Re: The sleep clinic went well, but can't replicate at home!
Thanks for both of your notes. The titration was done at the same place as my initial sleep study, however my initial sleep study was just for measuring the apnea and did not involve any therapy. The CPAP machine they used for the titration study was certainly very different to the one I have at hom...

The sleep clinic went well, but can't replicate at home!
Hi All, About a year ago I was diagnosed with Mild Sleep Apnea and prescribed a CPAP machine with Nasal Pillows. After a few weeks of failed nasal pillow use I, stupidly, gave up. It's now a year later and I recently underwent a full sleep study and, surprise surprise, I still have sleep apnea and i...

Re: New to CPAP - can't sleep with nasal pillow!
Thanks SlartyBartFast and Bugsy for the responses. I've now updated my profile with some details about my setup. I'm afraid I'm not exactly sure of the model of my Nasal Pillow and Humidifier, but can confirm that they're both also manufactured by ResMed. I've just got home and am pleased to say tha...

New to CPAP - can't sleep with nasal pillow!
Hey All, I'm a 29 year old who for years has suffered with feelings of fatigue and drowsiness that - it now appears - has been caused by OSA. The cause of the OSA is either my large tonsils, obstructive throat anatomy or deviated septum - my doctor isn't sure exactly which but says the treatment is ...
