Re: New to cpap, 3 weeks in, now falling asleep at work.
I have been running 7.5cmH2O - 15cmH20 as suggested. The first couple of days the VS / VS2 was way down, at the end of this week, the number is slowly climbing. The AHI is generally below .40. I still am waking up multiple times a night and last night just got so annoyed that I shut the machine off ...

Re: New to cpap, 3 weeks in, now falling asleep at work.
The Wisp is usually packaged with the "original" size headgear but has a reduced size and a large size available as a separate purchase. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/headgear-wisp-nasal-cpap-mask-pr.html I have no idea if the size is marked anywhere...I returned the only Wisp I ever tried becau...

Re: New to cpap, 3 weeks in, now falling asleep at work.
It is a Nuance gel mask. I'll check my profile. The sleep center kept the bag so I though the blue gel thing was it I also have a Phillips wisp they gave me but I am pretty sure the head gear is the wrong size. The mask won't seat right and makes it hard to breath through and the machine goes crazy ...

Re: New to cpap, 3 weeks in, now falling asleep at work.
Prior to the machine I typically woke up once a night typically around 3am. Most of the time I can just turn over and go back to sleep. Last night I woke up at 1:30, 3:15~3:30, 5:30ish. On the machine, I have noticed a pattern in general that I seem to wake up around 11:30, 1:30, 3:30, 5:30 +- 15 mi...

Re: New to cpap, 3 weeks in, now falling asleep at work.
Looks like you're using a minimum pressure of 6.0, and your AHI is under control, but plenty of snores and flow limitations, that seem to be related to the dip in SpO2. Nothing serious, but I agree with Pugsy that an increase in minimum pressure looks like a good idea. I would go for a minimum of 7...

Re: New to cpap, 3 weeks in, now falling asleep at work.

From the study (sorry if I miss something) 0 Apneas, 0 mixed Apnea, 0 Central apnea, 111.0 hypopneas for AHI of 13.9. Diagnosis OSA 327.23. There as also 1 puls...

New to cpap, 3 weeks in, now falling asleep at work.
I am starting week 4 of being on my CPAP. I have been lurking on this forum for a while and I see a lot of posts about feeling worse for a few days being normal etc. My question is that my AHI is generally low <1. I have been using the machine religiously because I have been sick and tired of being ...
