Excellent idea....he is 80 and almost exclusively sleeps on his back. His S10 maxes out at 20 cm h20

So we made pressure adjustments and it seems dad’s machine is bouncing off the rev limiter at 20. His AHI is down from the 40’s to 7-10 range and nighttime urination is half or less what it was before....what do people do that need more than 20” H2o?

Leaks are better, we changed masks.....AHI is still awful. He is really frustrated and I am trying to keep him focused on sticking to it

My first thoughts was the 4-20 was way too much swing. I used the mask fit feature and tightened his mask till it stopped leaking. I think it may have been pulled tighter since then as he says its real tight. Too tight can cause leaks as well.

I hope this is usable, it is a phone screenshot....the AHI were off the chart. His sleep study was 14.1ahi this shows 22. This is his 4th night (I believe) on the pap. I don’t want him to get discouraged or aggravated and give up. Cpap saved my life (with Pugsy and others here being a large portion ...

Off the machine. He isn’t terribly computer savvy. I will try and get him setup with oscar and see if I can post some good numbers

So dad has had his auto for a week. Night time urination has been significantly reduced. He has a resmed S-10 with the resmed airfit F30 full face mask. He says he wakes up in the middle of the night when he is breathing though his mouth with large amounts of rushing air. He said when he breathes th...

We tried all of the standard prostate precsciption meds with no effect. The next step with urology is VERY invasive and uncomfortable

Update, dad got the “take home” sleep study. It shows an ahi of 14.1. Which is considered mild. Could this still cause the night time urination issues?

He does not diabetes and is on no meddication...other than the various urology meds he tried. None helped at all. Now they are wanting to do a fairly unpleasant bladder testing series....which is why I thought about apnea.

Been a while since I posted here....Pugsy and crew got me squared away years ago, my Ahi’s run in the .3-.5 range....lost 60lbs, all is well. My father has been having issues waking up 6+time a night to urinate...by the end of the night it amounts to about 2 quarts. We took him to the urologist who ...

Someone I know has a snoring problem....no cessation of breathing just very loud (ie can hear through multiple walls even with ear plugs in) can an auto machine be used successfully to help? I have a spare auto....it might also record if there are other issues such as apnea or hypopnea..... Individu...

I had this problem, did the mouth taping, tried the chin straps, cervical collar, you name it. I finally got an amaraview full face mask and it worked, didn't leak and my therapy is where it needs to be .7 or so a night.

I was stunned at the level of fraud involved with sleep medicine. Having a sleep Dr sell equipment at 3x the price I could buy it elsewhere for outdated and older equipment....and the part I really find interesting is the insurance companies have no problem with it.

Amaraview is what works for me. I had mouth leak problems so I needed full face. I tried several they all leaked at the bridge of my nose into my eyes. Amaraview is different.
