Has been a while since since last post. All is going good, I have not changed settings for 100 sleeps. I have changed masks. Now have a Fisher & Paykel Pilairo Q nasal Pillow mask. I tried this mask for a few days, had low AHI and considerable fewer Flow Limitations , but developed a sore in nostril...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try a .5 raise in min to 8.5. Let that settle out and then maybe a bump to 9 min. in the future. This has been a very helpful site, far more value than my sleep doctor and the supplier here in Saskatchewan. I will continue to hang around as there is lots of info on...

It has been a couple of weeks since I last posted a screenshot from Sleepyhead. I have not changed any settings during that period. This is the most recent and 7 day average numbers from SH stats. AHI 2.84 2.40 Obstructive Index 1.22 0.74 Hypopnea Index 1.35 1.46 Clear Airway Index 0.27 0.20 Flow Li...

Thanks for the info. I will leave well enough alone for a while. I now begin to see that events change, sometimes quite dramatically with the same settings. I feel I am at the top of my comfort zone as far as higher pressures go, so I will get used to these settings for awhile. As the subject of thi...

Last two nites of sleep data. Minimum pressure raised to 8 last night.
Seems to be working okay. What do think, should I leave well enough alone for awhile.

Welcome to the forum. I have had my mechanical aeortic valve for about 10 years. Soon, your brain will tune out the sound of the valve and you won't hear it anymore. In a quiet room, people with very good hearing can hear a faint ticking, but you won't. The INR blood tests at least monthly, on the ...

Ok, I will give it a try. using June 27 screenshot as a test.

I take Zopiclone, which gets me to sleep generally fairly quickly. I am suffering from depression and anxiety and am on citalopram for that. I feel poorly. Hungover most of the time from the medications. I guess if I can get good results with the machine, that is one item off the check list going fo...

I have got a couple more nights of data to have a look at.

Glad I have this site to review the data.

Maybe a little more minimum yet?

Here are the Sleepyhead screens from Saturday and Sunday night. Do you think I need to bump the max a little bit? https://www.dropbox.com/s/95pwh0mp7k0sk0j/screenshot-20170626-080648.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/0mk2nnptktccchc/screenshot-20170626-080658.png?dl=0 Thanks in advance for the repl...

I always used to sleep on my side, for 62 years I think. Due to the sternotomy for open heart surgery I am not yet able to sleep on my side. Perhaps another
month or more yet. I do look forward to returning to "normal" sleep habits and position.

The sleep aid is called Zopiclone(7.5 mg). For now I have to take one at bedtime. I sleep on my back with very little change in position for the night. In due course as my mental and physical condition improve I will hopefully be able to wean off the drugs. Thanks Pugsy for your comments. I will set...

Here are the Sleepyhead results from last night.
Pressures were set back to June 21 values.
My thoughts are to leave the setting as is and try for a few nights.
I welcome any comments or suggestions

Thanks for the reply. I to noticed the pressure had changed to 5 from 6.5. Now either I did that unintentionally or it was change remotely through the installed modem. More than likely it was the former reason, my bad. I had changed the minimum back to 6.5 after seeing the sleepy head this morning. ...

Hello to All. Have been lurking here for a little while. This looks like a very good forum. A little background. 62 yr. old male. I had open heart surgery to replace my Aortic valve with a mechanical valve in March. One month later I had an overnight sleep study and consequently a 3 week trial. I wa...
