Re: Please help- No Improvement w/ BI-PAP

Pugsy,

MRI was yesterday. Doctor called first thing this morning to tell me I have a growth on my pituatary gland ad will need further testing. She seems quite confident that this is the cause of all my problems, and the inconsistent results with PAP.

Re: Please help- No Improvement w/ BI-PAP

It was much worse. On CPAP set at 10.5 my AHI averaged around 12-14. There is a CPAP mode on this machine. I was thinking to take out the old machine though. I prefer to sleep on my back propped up w several pillows. Sleeping on my sides has given no improvement. In fact some of my worst nights have...

Re: Please help- No Improvement w/ BI-PAP

I woke up eager to see if it worked. No good news to report unfortunately.

IPAP went up to 19, EPAP to 17.5

AHI 36.9
CA 144
OA 142
HYP 44

It felt like I was up most of the night because the pressure that high was very uncomfortable. Maybe I'm better off just keeping the max IPAP at 15?

Re: Please help- No Improvement w/ BI-PAP

Taking that last image into consideration (IPAP 9.5, EPAP 8, AHI 1.6) what do you suggest for a minimum EPAP?

Re: Please help- No Improvement w/ BI-PAP

Last sleep study in 2016 the first thing the sleep tech said in the morning was, "you seem like you have central apnea". Doctor said she "thinks" I have complex sleep apnea, but that's about it. I got the auto bipap in February 2017 and she hasn't discussed anymore options. Just called to get copies...

Thank you for your reply!

Sorry, I'm new to Sleeyhead. I'll cleanup my data and re-post. How do I zoom in on the Flow Rate graph?

Thanks again!

Please help- No Improvement w/ BI-PAP

Thanks in advance for any advice that can be given! I believe I have had sleep apnea my entire life, but just began treatment four years ago. My first sleep study showed around 150 events per hour. After my second study I was given a Philips Respironics System One. Tried a few different masks and se...

There is no "extract" option when I right click, just open or view folder
