Had the same problem. Sleeping on my left side fixes it.

Re: What should be your CPAPmin?
Thanks Guys! I will continue with this as suggested and get back if I see something new. My diagnosed AHI was 62 (still find it hard to believe). So, the machine is obviously working well it seems bringing it down to less than 1. I apologize if I was making things sound "complicated", but at least ...

Re: What should be your CPAPmin?
Thanks Wuffman. Sorry, but I am confused now. The response from the other gentleman indicates that 2-3 OE are fine? Also, from what I hear, an AHI < 5 does even merit SA treatment, right? Also, the centrals are actually all in the low pressure range. Hi Guys, Five days into the therapy, I am seeing ...

Re: What should be your CPAPmin?
Thanks Julie! Just to clarify, I am not talking about AHI but just AI
I will stop chasing the goal of 0 AI. And it makes sense, since less than 5 is considered normal.
Also I did raise the CPAPmin to 7 last night with pretty much the same result.

What should be your CPAPmin?
Hi Guys, Five days into the therapy, I am seeing 3-4 OSA events every night pressure range (6-14, PS=0). The events seem to be happening at different pressures in the same nights and between nights (7, 8, 9, 10). The overall AHI has been less that 1 all nights. The 90% pressure has also been a varia...

Re: New Member
Well actually, the problem for me is not that (pressure dropping before completion of inspiration) The problem for me is the gushing pressure. How to explain... Something similar to the feel you have when scrolling on your smartphone where it rebounds when you hit the end of the page or how it feels...

Re: New to the forum and to CPAP
Welcome captain ! I am also a new member just like you (may be 1 day senior to you )
Did you try the Airfit P10? I am using this one and it is as seamless as it gets according to me.

Re: New Member
Thanks palerider. Thats what I thought. Do you or anyone using either EPR or BiPAP not feel the stop n go kind of feeling - gush of air rushing through into your lungs till they hit an almost abrupt stop light with a little punch at the tail end. In my case, seems like, minus the aeophagia (I hope n...

Re: New Member
Update: Night2: I made the following changes - Reduced the humidity to 2 - increased EPAPmin to 6 I noticed that I slept much quicker with this setting. This night was almost a natural feeling. The results are similar too. The max pressure today was in the 10s. AVG was still around 7 90% was around ...

Re: New Member
epapmin is 4 - do I need a higher exhale pressure? If I set PS to 3, this how it will look:
Start EPAP = 4
Start IPAP = 7 (the increased pressure as you suggest?)
PS. I see what you are saying, You are suggesting a higher EPAP to reduce the variation

Re: New Member
Thanks PaleRider and PoolQ!
I plan to increase PS to 3 which should increase IPAPmin to 7 (which is also around my median and mean)

Thanks MarylandCpaper!
I have been going through the usual states of denial - anger - acceptance etc states. Seems like a tall ask to do this forever, every single night of your life!
