Re: 2nd night on CPAP: CA's through the roof

Sleeping is going very well now; sudden and huge improvement after the first three days.
AHI isn't doing so great at all: 30.6 last night, >28 CA's.

Re: 2nd night on CPAP: CA's through the roof

If I understand it correctly, my machine can't distinguish between central apnea and clear airway and therefore marks both as 'clear airway'. The latter is not a category discussed in the sleep study. I'm beginning to wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to change the fixed setting of 8cm H2O to Aut...

Re: 2nd night on CPAP: CA's through the roof

It felt as if I spent quite a bit of time either awake or just dozing. Not too tired though. Just talked to my pulmonologist's office. I asked them to review the stats as well and their comment was 'just keep doing what you're doing and try to get used to it. Everything is all right.' That's one way...

Re: 2nd night on CPAP: CA's through the roof

Quite possible I'm breathing through my mouth - although I'd think the resulting air flow would wake me up. I could ask my wife to check I guess... I do have a copy of the sleep study: Centrals noted in diagnostic part of the sleep study contributed only 4.2 points to the overall AHI of 50.1 events/...

2nd night on CPAP: CA's through the roof

I just had my second night on CPAP. For some reason the central apnea count is at 24%, bringing my AHI up to over 28. Cheyenne Stokes at 47,6%. The first night these numbers were 11%, 13.5 and 15%, all in SleepyHead. During the treatment analysis portion of sleep test, my AHI was at 7.8, 100% caused...

Re: Anybody just give up?

I'm sitting at my desk, practicing with my machine and mask that I picked up for the first time today - yes, total newbie. So I guess I'm not really the one to give you any advice. Having said that, I can imagine it drives you nuts if you're not falling asleep (which is bad enough in and of itself) ...
