Here is last night's graph with 10-12 pressure, no ramp and EPR set to 2. I removed the mask in my sleep (this happens a lot) so I only used it for a couple hours but this is the lowest my AHI has been. Flow limitation is still pretty much the same. What can I do to get a boring FL chart? http://i.i...

Thanks everyone,

I've got the normal 10 series, not the 'for her' version.

I just changed my settings to 10-12 pressure, set EPR to 1 and decreased ramp time.

Ill let you guys know what happens tonight.

I have been using my ResMed 10 series for several weeks now and I still feel very sleepy. I was diagnosed with UARS, with 50 RERAs per hour. Im young and skinny but apparently my airway is very narrow. What do you guys think the problem is? Why is APAP not working for me? http://i.imgur.com/L94yRbJl...

I don't own one... I borrowed one from the DME for a week and the week is over.

They just said an S9, ill ask tomorrow exactly which one.

I went to the sleep doctor today. She sais I have UARS and should treat it with an APAP. I feel like I didn't get an official diagnose because they didn't measure my esophagus pressure in my sleep study, she told me I have UARS because of the flow limitations, and basically said that if I feel bette...

I raised my minimum pressure to 8. This is my last night's graph: http://i.imgur.com/jrmlmT6l.png All I had last night were clear airway events (all of them right when I was falling asleep). What does that mean? Also, I still can't manage to use the mask longer because I get woken up by air leaks in...

I tried to modify my lower pressure, but seems like I cannot since its a borrowed machine, so ill have to wait until Friday so that the doctor changes it. I downloaded SleepyHead, so here is my first graph (from last night). Is there anything very wrong on the graph? What should be my minimum pressu...

I suggested raising the minimum pressure to the CPAP guy, but he said that he prefers to leave it at 4 for the trial week to see all the fluctuations in pressure.

Does that make sense?

Thanks guys! Yesterday I got a full nose and mouth mask so I guess I don't need the chinstrap with that kind of mask, right? I slept pretty well tonight, I used the mask for like 4 hours. I didn't download the SleepyHead software yet because im only borrowing the machine until friday and the doctor ...

Why do you say that?

Well, this last guy is the one that I borrowed the APAP from (hes the one selling them). He basically did what I suggested him to

I also think my sleep doctor is very good too, though.

So here are my stats, its only 3 days and not much use, just so that you see the pressures and leaks: 06/02/2015 - 08/02/2015 S9 AutoSet (S/N: 23142288836) AutoSet APE: RAMP_ONLY APE: 1,0 cmH20 Min pressure: 4,0 cmH20 Max pressure: 14,0 cmH20 Pressure - cmH20 Median: 8,6 Percentil 95: 11,8 Max: 12,4...

Just came back from the doctor, we looked at my graphs. I have many air flow limitations, so the doctor said I have UARS. My settings are 4-14 and I stay between 10 and 12 most of the night (I use the machine for 3 hours average). Aerophagia could be due to GERD. Ill visit the digestive doctor. So I...

Thanks Pugsy That aerophagia thing is horrible. I can't get another mask until tomorrow so I tried the nasal one again. I managed to use it for like 3 hours. I taped my mouth again not to mouth breath. I managed to fall asleep very quick but I woke up after like 3 hours with my mouth inflated like a...

First night on the APAP was horrible. I inhale through my nose but I exhale through my mouth so that was provoking a big leak, the machine made huge noise and increased the amount of air provided every time I exhaled through my mouth so i could not fall asleep. I taped my mouth so I wouldn't open it...

I got my APAP today! Im so excited to sleep with it. I get to use it until tuesdsay and then the doctor will look at my stats and see how I have rested with it. It is a Resmed APAP, with a nasal mask and a humidifier. Also, my doctor told me to slowly stop taking Citalopram if I feel better with the...
