Re: Do I have sleep apnea?

I think the leaks occur when I wake up and re position. Hopefully if I can find the reason im waking up 3x's per nite, the leaks will be cured as well because I think the leaking is occurring when I wake and roll over. I have raised the min. pressure to 7.8 and will advise in a few days. (it now sta...

Re: Do I have sleep apnea?

It looks like my pressure wants to be in between 8 and 10.
I'm gonna make the minimum around 7.8 with a max of 12.8 and see how I sleep tonight.
My goal is not to wake up 3 times per night. I figure it cant hurt.

Unless I am wrong, its been around 6, then quickly ramps up to 10 to deal with the obstruction, resulting in me waking. Maybe if im at 8, then the raise to 10 wont...

Re: Do I have sleep apnea?

The you tube video was pretty informative, thanks. I was able to wear the mask all night and my results are below. I have a question though. For years, I was waking up every few hours. I can specifically remember fully waking up an average of 3 times per night. I was hoping that would stop with APAP...

Do I have sleep apnea?

FYI, my at home sleep study is scheduled for next week, I'm 5'10"" 164 lbs and in decent shape, exercise occasionally (2-3 times per month) Essentially I try to stay in bed for 10 hrs but get much less sleep than that. As a result, I'm tired but not exhausted. Wife says I snore, it gets louder then ...
