I think it was just a guess based on someone thinking that 6 was a good PS and for some people it might be. Maybe it worked great on the last person he RX'd it for. There always the chance that it's the PS that might be triggering the centrals similar to what happens with some people using EPR. It'...

Just one thing, I "just" finished taking a good look at the events my machine marked as events using both SleepyHead and Encore and it was WAY off. More than 60% of the CA's (clear airways) were not CA's and it was even worse with the hypoapnea's. It was very obvious when you zoom into the flow rat...

Update with four nights (Sat. through Tue.) of lower pressure and the results look good. I set the pressure to 9/6 and my AHI numbers were: 3.34, 3.08, 5.95, and 4.04! I would have updated here sooner, but the first two nights were only about four hours of data per night. I can upload screenshots if...

well, if it were me (insert foot long list of standard disclaimers here) I'd make some of the changes that were suggested above, in the meantime, and see what happens, then take that data with you. You mean lowering the pressure? Yeah, I think I will. I won't be able to call and set up an appointme...

Lots of discussion since I last posted--sorry I didn't follow up yesterday. I got home yesterday (Friday) to a message on my answering machine from the sleep center asking me to call them to set up another titration study to see if I qualify for an ASV machine (I think the message said ASV--it defin...

Yep, looks like you did have a few centrals during your sleep studies but nothing like you are having now. Your follow up appointment is today? Is that correct? Today I took the SD card to the DME. Unfortunately my follow visit with a NP at the sleep center is on 9/22, one month away. On your initi...

I apologize for the length of this post. Okay, I got my reports and scanned them. First is the sleep study: Page 1 http://sjnz.us/sleep/SleepStudy_01_s.jpg Page 2 http://sjnz.us/sleep/SleepStudy_02_s.jpg Page 3 http://sjnz.us/sleep/SleepStudy_03_s.jpg And then the titration: Page 1 http://sjnz.us/sl...

Don't give up; that is good progress. Took me two weeks before I had my first sub 10 AHI, and 40 days before my first sub 5. Five months into therapy and I'm still not getting great scores but I'm definitely seeing good results physically and emotionally. sc0ttt, thanks for the encouraging words. H...

They did an in lab sleep study to find the right pressure??? That would be the titration sleep study. Yes, it was in-lab. I figured it was a titration, they just never used that word. What are your settings? VPAP fixed mode or auto mode? I have no idea what the setting are. The DME turned off every...

Thanks for the rapid response! Do you have a copy of the diagnostic sleep study report? If not, get it. Did you have a titration sleep study where you slept with the cpap mask and machine? If so...get a copy of that report also. If you already have copies of your reports...what was the diagnosis? Un...

I'm new here and new to the CPAP crowd. After I was diagnosed I did a lot of reading to try and prepare myself for what my future held. I've just spent my first week with my S9 VPAP Auto and decided to download Sleepyhead and look at the data. I was hoping for a real low AHI, but that doesn't appear...
