Re: ResMed EPR: Could it be worsening my sleep?

I woke today without the hurried-breathing feeling, but the steady pressure seemed to cause me to open my mouth more than normal. My AHI was under 2 and I didn't have any leaking above 24 L/min, so I don't think it caused any serious issues. I'd like to keep at it with steady pressure, but I've got ...

Re: ResMed EPR: Could it be worsening my sleep?

4) turn it off if you want, it's purely a comfort feature, there's little, if any theraputic value to it. Okay, thanks. Sounds like you both feel pretty strongly that this won't be the culprit. I'll turn it off tonight anyway, because the risk seems low. It's disappointing, though. I guess I've got...

Re: ResMed EPR: Could it be worsening my sleep?

You haven't mentioned what your pressure settings are or what your EPR setting is. Try it and see. It's mostly for "comfort" anyway. Some people need it and some people have apnea events at the point where the exhale cycle ends and the inhale cycle begins. Everybody's different. By the way, an AHI ...

ResMed EPR: Could it be worsening my sleep?

I'm a newbie, please be gentle. I've been using CPAP for about a year and a half. I was diagnosed with moderate to severe apnea, about 60 AHI. I'm below 5 most nights with my CPAP, and I feel absolutely terrible on the rare occasions that I'm without it. It's definitely made a positive difference. H...
