I just wanted to ask a couple questions about common apneas people experience. I read up about hypopneas and obstructive and central but curious about their patterns in most people. I know everyone is different though. so here's the questions. Are Hypopneas not as serious as obstructive? Wasn't unsu...

Okay.. my machine is officially getting tin foil wrapped around it in the morning! JK

Hi Andrew, I am in the same boat as you, almost identical. My Dr. mentioned my AHI was 120/hr, I am 32 yrs old, and I wanted the air sense 10, which I ultimately got. I did the split study, my pressure did not go over 12 during the split study so they prescribed me 13 to get me under 5 AHI. I just s...

I agree 100% about the changing of the settings. The thing that sucks is it's a WHOLE day before you know the results. I am going to have my wife try to watch me and note the time and position if possible. She probably wont which will lead me to change the pressures. I appreciate all the help! Thank...

Thanks for the response. I want to try that.. but I know my insurance needs to see me using the machine for 3 months prior to it being "purchased".. Wasn't sure if me changing the pressure like that would screw anything up like that.. I have played around in the clinical menu before just to snoop ar...

It's a ResMed airsense 10 auto cpap.. but set on "CPAP mode" not auto at 13... I have the ramp up for pressure which is the curve you see when i first put mask on

I should revise some of my original post... Original AHI from sleep study was 120/hr My AHI now is between 7 - 39 (I believe the 39 was me sleeping on my back which was no good!) No Nasal pillows because of deviated septum, mouth breather. After reading a lot about the cpap and all.. I wasn't sure i...

The Dr. told me that at the sleep study my AHI was around 5 with the CPAP machine on with no higher than the pressure of 12, so she prescribed me 13 to try and get me under the 3 mark.. I am using the ResMed Quattro Air. I tried the ResMed Quattro FX and the Mirage Liberty mask. The ResMed Quattro A...

Okay, I am going to try and make this short but I am quite a talker, so here goes.. About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with "mild" sleep apnea when on my back.. I was prescribed an APAP machine but probably used it about 10 times then it went away into the closet. I could NOT get used to the mask. I ...
