Re: High AHI on APAP?

Thank you guys SO much. I didn't appreciate the significance of the minimum pressure. I'm having trouble with getting decent pics, but I think I have enough to go on. If I have to post again I'll make sure I have pics beforehand.

Thanks!

Re: High AHI on APAP?

No weight gain, no meds, no alcohol even. I do use sleepyhead and it shows almost no events for the first several hours, and then huge clusters of hypopneas after that. My apneas are limited to one or two per night. My biggest concern is why my pressure doesn't increase to eliminate hypopneas. If my...

High AHI on APAP?

Hi all, I'm a 30 y/o who has been on APAP for about a year now, and CPAP for 5+ years before this. I'm healthy, normal weight (170 pounds, 6' tall) and have a non-snoring sleep apnea (likely due to my cleft palate repair). My AHI at my first sleep study was 2.5 on on my stomach and 15 on my back. My...

How can I determine event duration from Sleepyhead?

Hey everyone, I have an F&P Icon and it doesn't record the duration of events under the "events" tab. Instead it just records a (1) for everything.

Re: New to forum, please help with my AHI question

My hours on the machine are really good. 6-8 a night, every night. I usually just wake up, roll over, and go back to sleep. I never have to use the bathroom (or lay awake stressing about the day). Thanks

New to forum, please help with my AHI question

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I have an important question. I'm using F&P Icon CPAP and have had it for about a year now. I'm a 30 y/o male, 6', 170 pounds and by all accounts probably shouldn't have sleep apnea… My last sleep study (without a machine) I had an AHI of 2.5 on my stomach (woohoo) and ...
