Just wondering, if the symptoms mirror GERD, should I worry about taking all the precautions of GERD to reduce the likelihood of aerophagia.

Sorry to bother you.

I started cpap last month and was just diagnosed with EoE. It seems the EoE symptoms got a lot worse once I started cpap. EoE is an allergic reaction that can mimic GERD, usually caused by food allergies. I have the dysphagia and impaction, but I haven't been able to find much about it online, espec...

There is no low. I am at 8 all night, except for my ramp from 4

I had one central during my sleep study. Now I'm having 3-5 per hour depending on the night, if I'm reading my sleepyhead data correctly. They seem to be occurring about 2 hours after I go to bed and about 2 hours before I wake up. I might be in arousal from hot flashes, but I seem to be feeling lik...

This happens after I take the mask off. I hardly even notice the airflow when I'm wearing the mask, and it hasn't been a problem. It's after I take it off in the morning and then spend the next few hours feeling like I can't quite catch my breath--or I'm not breathing right.

Does any one else feel like they can't catch their breath the next day after xpap therapy?

Also have had migraines (which I am not prone to having) everyday this week, with two yesterday.

I could only find the one case study and then something about hypothyroid and clinically depressed population. I didn't spend huge amounts of time looking further yet...but I have read significantly on hypothyroid and have never seen the link to central apnea before (I didn't know I had apnea then)....

The endocrinologist is still titrating--they can't find the right dose. I was talking about my cpap therapy. I only had one central but since I've been on cpap therapy my centrals have gone up significantly. At least from the sleep study.

I just read that there may be a link between hypothyroidism and central sleep apnea. My central apnea number has gone up since I started therapy. Any one else have this happen? How often does this happen? I go back for my first follow up in May. Should I be concerned that my central apneas are now a...

Hey all, I am using the sleepyhead open GL version on an HP laptop running windows 8.1. I have been on cpap since 18 March. The problem is when I look at my data overview. Unless I have two weeks specified in the dropdown, nothing shows in my graphs. Just wondering if it's because I don't have a ful...

When I look at the data in sleepyhead, it shows up as a clear airway flag. I figured out how to reconfigure my machine to show more information and it finally separates out AHI into obstructed and central apneas. I think, like stated above, it's a matter of who is interpreting the data and just what...

It can be very tough trying to sort out how much of the sleep problems are due to CPAP-troubles and how much are due to other things, including plain old insomnia. It may take a multi-pronged approach to solving, or at least minimizing, hubby's sleep problems. If your hubby chooses to do some CBT-I...

When I download my data into sleepyhead, I have quite a lot of flags that say clear airway. Is this the same as a central apnea? I'm using the ResMed AirSense 10 Elite.

Hubby just got the same exact equipment as I have. Not sure if we both need the same thing or that's just what the DME gives out...so he does have a full face mask. But he's always struggled with leaks. Does having a beard affect mask seal much? I've just downloaded sleepyhead, but he's only got one...

Hubby has been on cpap since 2009; I started two weeks ago. I have adapted well to the mask and sleep 7+ hours per night with little leakage and usually 1-2 mask-offs per night. He, on the other hand, has struggled almost the whole time. He just got a new machine that showed pretty significant leaka...
