Re: Increasing AHI 7 months into CPAP

Yep - Automode with upper and lower set to 8.5 is how it is set for the moment. The recommendation from the study was between 8 and 9 cm (I started with 8 but seemed to need a little more which was highly effective back in April). My guess is with the weight loss and further adjusting to CPAP throug...

Re: Increasing AHI 7 months into CPAP

My titration study (back in March) showed that when using the AutoPap mode it was blowing out Centrals all over the place Net/Net we arrived at a set pressure which really helped (for most of April-May I was dipping down in the 3 AHI per night). I'm considering raising the fixed pressure to 9 and tu...

Re: Increasing AHI 7 months into CPAP

Sure thing - some representative data for the last 7 days (note I was traveling so the 16 is an outlier) again the machine is set for a flat 8.5 - sometimes the centrals can be a little all over the board at times - especially when I am stressed (which has been the case for the past couple of weeks ...

Increasing AHI 7 months into CPAP

I wanted to get some perspectives - I've been on CPAP for about 7 months now. Since then I have dropped down from 195#s to 170 and plan to lose another 5 lbs (i'm 5'10" so 165 is about is good as I can get and will get me into the correct BMI range) . On this journey with CPAP i moved from a RAMP pa...

Central vs Obstructive & thoughts

Hi All- I'm on day 59 on therapy (Auto CPAP Dreamstation). Looking at my data I'm realizing that the Central Apneas are not resolving (kind of assuming those are the truly ugly ones). The other thing i noticed in the detailed minute by minute report is some periodic breathing - usually 2 instances -...

Re: Time to adapt +Encore Pro

Thanks for all the info - very helpful. Wanted to pass on I was able to install Encore Pro on a Windows Laptop (looks like it only runs on Windows) and read my data card last Sunday. I did forget to set the timezone for the DME which caused my data to be in London time (for the first time I loaded d...

Re: Time to adapt

They had ordered a BPAP for me - but since the #'s had gone down so well initially we held off. I'll give my doc a call and see what they have to say - I think the machine had already arrived so they could swap the one out I have. I did get the Encore Pro 2 software up and running today - works rela...

Time to adapt

Hi All - Does you body ever fully adjust and stabilize? How long (on average) does it typically take for someone to get to regular or good numbers or do you ever? I was diagnosed in mid October with an AHI of approximately 50 and have been very diligent about compliance (I'm a bit of a go-getter). A...
