Rick, Thanks for the followup comments and the additional effort to understand what I was trying to communicate. You captured it well and I agree I need professional help for an actual solution rather than a bandaid. I'll get in to see my regular MD and be more persistent about getting evaluated for...

To all who replied, thank you. No offense taken. But my post may have been misleading. I intended the term 'self diagnosis' mostly in jest/sarcasm. I did research hyperventilation, and I do fit the symptoms, but I'm not ready to run off to some commune and become spiritually enlightened. My poorly m...

I've been doing the CPAP thing for just under two weeks with underwhelming results. Prior to last night my AHI was ranging from 6.66 (partial night) to 14 with little response to a gradual increase of min pressure from 4 to 9. Then last night my AHI dropped to 3.36 with the only change in settings b...

A lot of cat icons on this thread. Maybe that's the reason for the hissing...

Good Morning, Back again folks with another night's results linked below (this time without the calendar). I bumped the min pressure up again to 9 resulting in a small drop in overall AHI from 7.68 to 7.25, but a closer look shows a nice drop in Hypopneas (from 5.34 to 2.71) but rises in both CAs (2...

Morning folks, I bumped up the min pressure from 6.5 to 8 and went with the large pillows. AHI dropped significantly from 13.9 to 7.86. Still crappy, but a move in the right direction. I'm debating whether to try another bump to 9 or sticking with 8 for a few days to let the numbers settle out a bit...

Wulfman/Pugsey, Thanks guys. I'll bump the min pressure up to 8 and maybe wear the setup while I watch some TV tonight to play with the aflex settings to see which feels best. I'm assuming I should stick there a few days to let the results settle out? Imatrying, I've also tried all three sizes and a...

I've been lurking for the past week or so picking up lots of useful information but I'm to the point where I need to come out of the shadows and ask for help. About a year ago I had a sleep study that showed a AHI of 19.9 composed of "mostly obstructive" events. I spent most of the following year in...
