Ahh, as long as you say its an easy fix with ASV...

Atleast I have something to look forward to, eventually.

Thanks for everything guys!

I'll be getting a bipap soon and I guess a trial with that will be in order before we figure out the next step. I think his mentality was (much to my chagrin) we would go through CPAP->Bipap->Asv... You don't think these sleep onset centrals can be fixed? LOL thats like my greatest fear that this is...

My schedule is usually I start getting ready for bed around 9. My old schedule used to be I would pop a melatonin around 9:45, and get into bed by 10:00 p.m., lights out and I would struggle to fall asleep. Usually around 10:30 p.m. I would have a choking event where I wake up with a high heart rate...

ok this was from wednesday at 6 pressure.

Sorry if this is a noob question but I do know that people wanted to see overviews of my sleep?

I downloaded sleepyhead and imported my information and I have the daily report, which columns do you wish to see?

Hey guys this is just preliminary but I wanted to get your opinion on it before i go further. My stats last night with pressure increased to 9cm were: Ahi 9.6 Total ai 8.9 Central ai 6.5 My week long average however with 6 cm is Ahi 8.2 Total ai 6.7 Central ai 3.9 I know there are many factors that ...

Thank you all very much! I know this isn't advice meant to take the place of my sleep doctor but I still find it all very reassuring.

When I get an SD card reader I'll upload some graphs for you all to peek inside my sleep!

Thank you guys all again!

Oh yeah absolutely. I understand nobody is holding a gun to my head forcing me to do so and that all of my decisions will be 100% of my own volition, I just figure it couldn't hurt to ask you guys first

I'll get a sleep report as soon as I can from my machine but in the meantime I increased my CPAP machine pressure to 9 last night. That being said, all this talk about increasing centrals and my own preliminary googling is talking about how it can be dangerous to increase pressure if they increase c...

Thank you everyone for your words. I am happy that the CPAP has reduced my numbers overall (which it has), that being said I feel like there is still another major component to my sleep that is still left unaddressed, namely the fact that my sleep onset is plagued by these (what I believe are centra...

Machine: S9 Autoset Min Pressure: 6 cm H2O Max Pressure: 20 cm H2O EPR: Off Therapy Pressure - cmH2O (Median 11.5) (95th percentile: 15.0) (Maximum: 16.5) Events per hour (AI: 9.0) (HI: 1.2) (AHI: 10.2) Apnea Index (Central: 4.0) (Ob...

Thank you everyone for responding so quickly to me! I cannot grab all the information you guys wish to know at the moment but I will when I get off of work. For now the information I can remember off the top of my head is: I have a CPAP ResMed S9 Auto, I believe I turned ramp off and the pressure st...

Hello guys sorry to make a thread asking for help as my first post but you guys seem to be a great community. I've been seeing doctors and stuff for the past... 6 months now? I had a sleep study done in June and got a CPAP MONTHS later (thanks DME supplier) and this hasn't really helped me with my m...
