Thank you for all the replies!
I'm feeling the same (and that's actually pretty good)
So, the good life with CPAP continues!

Re: Unable to lower AHI
No, not a drastic difference in the locations.
I have not actually gained/lost any weight either...
That's what I'm not able to figure out!

Unable to lower AHI
Hi All! I used to have AHI's in the range of 0.5- 1.0 since the past 2 months. I have been on the Respironics Dreamstation since past 3 months. But this month, I've been travelling, and my AHI's have jumped up to 2+ range. What should I do to bring it back to the usual "less-than 1" AHI levels? Also...

Dreammapper for other countries
Hi! I just bought the dreamstation with the dreamwear mask. Will be starting therapy from today. Unfortunately, the Philips app Dreammapper is not compatible in India. Is there anyway I can byepass this restriction? While registering on the Dreammapper site, when I plug in my device ID, it says that...

Re: No OSA but prescribed a CPAP machine
Another doubt I have is, the leaks are around 30. Is that too much (with dreamwear mask) or should I go with some other mask? I found the Dreamwear the most comfortable, and slept much better with it. Also, I was using a software on my phone to record snores. I was still snoring with the dreamwear m...

Re: No OSA but prescribed a CPAP machine
Yes...if it were me I would be using the machine. It's trying to fight something. Review the image instructions again. You made it huge without the clickable link and you omitted the AHI events stuff and didn't hide the calendar or pie chart and you included graphs that weren't needed. Play with it...

Re: No OSA but prescribed a CPAP machine
Snores are signs of the airway trying to collapse. They don't always continue with the collapsing process to the point of earning some sort of apnea flag though. Maybe not quite enough air flow reduction or maybe they don't last long enough. There certain criteria that needs to be met (a minimum % ...

Re: No OSA but prescribed a CPAP machine
An important add-on is that I was asleep for only about 4 hours without the CPAP machine on the test day. From that, a lot of time was awake, as I take time to sleep.
After that, they hooked me onto the CPAP machine and continued the test.

Re: No OSA but prescribed a CPAP machine
Snores can be highly disruptive to sleep. Snores are one of the things that the machine will try to kill with an increase in pressure. Do you still have the machine in your possession? Where did you get the AHI of 4.0 number?...off the machine or software or the lame DreamMapper thing? Did you noti...

Re: No OSA but prescribed a CPAP machine
I felt a little better some days, some days not.. I just tried it for about 10 days so far, that too with different masks.
How do I add images to the reply, so that I can post the sleep data?
