the bipap auto sv isn't really working for me, I can't sleep through the night on it. I think it is only effective if I take a sleep medication maybe because the medication lowers the central apnea index or amount of centrals per hour. the neurosurgeon I saw said that the cyst was far from brain st...

I understand. Yesterday afternoon I got 6 Hypopneas in1.24 hours of supine sleeping whereas before I got mostly 0.00 AHI and last night I got 4 CA's which was also unusual. As a result I have got back to my 20/16 setting and will remain there for the time being. I am comforted to know that my settin...

You don't have much room to change the pressures that's for sure. In all honesty I don't see the need to reduce the hyponeas if this is a typical night. You might try 0.5 cm more minimum EPAP only and leave everything else the same and see if that little bit helps but I don't see any urgent need to...

I would appreciate any suggestions on tweaks that might reduce my hypopne...

The final 32 minutes was at 18/14 where there were no Centrals and the AHI was 3.8. These we...

Hello, I am a 74 retired male and am being treated for High Blood Pressure and Coronary Artery Disease (4 stents) and have been on BIPAP for 4 months. I have been getting AHI's below 3 for the last 2 months after discovering that my higher readings were due to sleeping on my back. My concern is Cent...
