Re: OBSTRUCTIVE AND CENTRAL APNEAS

@palerider could you please expound further on your statement. What do you mean by no difference in actual pressures?

Re: PRESSURE SETTINGS AND AHI

Many thanks pugsy for your support as always. Indeed, you guidance and advice have helped me throughout my CPAP therapy. I am not aiming for 0.00 AHI. Not really. It was just a thought since I do experience obstructive apneas even at 11.5cm, I will be able to maybe eliminate them with an increased p...

Re: PRESSURE SETTINGS AND AHI

However, with the increased pressure I can see...

Re: PRESSURE SETTINGS AND AHI

Hi, I have been ramping up my pressure for some time now and ended up with a 9.5 from 4.5. Last night I woke up gasping for breath with some chest pains on the left side and immediately look at my OSCAR report. I have only slept for 23 mins at the time. I didn't see much from the report but there wa...

Re: PRESSURE SETTINGS AND AHI

Thanks once again. I have zoomed in on one of the episodes and definitely looks like the one you posted earlier on. Does that mean this is normal? i was somehow worried about the 2 mins periodic breathing, I mean I just cant imagine not breathing properly for over 2 mins. Regarding the low Min press...

Re: PRESSURE SETTINGS AND AHI

In my last OSCAR report, I notice two episodes of periodic breathing, one lasted for 2 mins and 45 seconds while the other lasted for 2 mins and 36 seconds. Does this imply I have some form of central apnea?

Re: PRESSURE SETTINGS AND AHI

Thanks Pugsy and LSAT for your responses. For last night, I remember waking up a few times though not very often like the previous nights. I think I can comfortably ramp up the pressure to 7 and see what happens. Thanks

PRESSURE SETTINGS AND AHI

Dear All, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2018 and have been struggling since then. By struggling, I mean I have been feeling good some days and not so well in many of the other days. I have reached a point I briefly stopped even using the CPAP machine. However, after much thought and support, I...

Re: AHI

How is your sleep quality? Do you wake up often during the night and/or does it take you much time to get to sleep? The CA/central events you have to ignore...so mentally remove them from your evaluation process. An occasion central is normal and nothing we can do about it and nothing we need to do...
