Re: New APAP user and high PB
Hi all - so I've tracked my status over the last few days without making any of the recommended changes (I wanted to see a baseline of a few more days) - and it appears that my central apneas are growing and coming in big clusters. Do you still believe this is something that would be addressed by ra...

Re: New APAP user and high PB
Machine related question - I have the option to set my Flex to 1, 2, or 3. There doesn't seem to be an off with it. Should I set it to 1 then?

Re: New APAP user and high PB
Roger that. So first things first - I need to up my minimum pressure and tackle the OSAs and hypopneas and get them under control. Or at least see what happens once I do up the min pressure. Once those are improving then figure out what to do about the centrals if they still present. Sound good?

Re: New APAP user and high PB
Thanks for the speedy response! I have a follow-up with my ENT on June 14. I did have a sleep study - but they didn't hook me up to a mask to titrate. They gave me this APAP I guess with general settings? I don't have a copy of my sleep study results - but I'll be sure to get those now. I believe my...

New APAP user and high PB
Hello all! I'm brand new to this forum and sleep apnea (at least knowing that I have it). I was outfitted with a DreamStation APAP machine three nights ago with DreamWear pillow mask. I've had some difficulty adjusting to the machine, but finally got some sleep with it last night. Chunks at least in...
