I think I would stand by my original thoughts...more minimum pressure...Can you maybe try 8 cm minimum comfortably? If not maybe 7 for 3 or 4 nights and see what happens and then maybe 8 cm....and see what happens and then maybe 9 cm. The OAs, Hyponeas, Flow limitations, RERAs and snores all point ...

Since you report sleeping decently for the most part that likely reduces the chances of what we see on your reports as being SWJ clutter and most likely real. Give yourself a couple more nights and then let's see where that pressure wants to go. I do think that you probably would benefit from an in...

I just found the article about Aerophagia
Reading now
Sorry...

I am waking in the night and in the morning with terrible gas pains, bloated and gassy. Yes, I have searched this and have found so many threads that I just can't find an answer. Most threads address particular masks. So, Is this usually a mask problem? Pressure Problem? Or something I'll just have ...

I see at least one break in therapy where you turned the machine off and back on again. How many awakenings during the night are you having? Are you spending much time awake with mask and machine on? Or are you pretty much going right to sleep and staying asleep for the most part? We don't need the...

Like it's normal to have what is called a sleep onset central when transitioning to sleep stages. Also it is normal for the machine to sometimes fl...

Thank you.

I will download SleepyHead.

And raise my min presssure.

Last night was my first night with my CPAP. Honestly, I was prepared for the worst, but it was not bad at all! :D Husband said NO SNORING!!! YAY! I fought with the blankets just a bit because I was worried about closing off the air vent, exhale, exhaust hole things. (sorry, I'll get used to the corr...

Hi All, I haven't posted since my first day on this journey back in December. To be honest, I have been completely overwhelmed. However, after spending many hours on this forum, I am ready to begin therapy tonight. I just got home with my machine: Dreamstation AutoPap and my mask: AirFit P10 for her...

Today, I got the results of my overnight oximeter.

When awake before sleep = 99%
5 dips to 80% during the night
awaken 41 times per hour

Dr. referred me to sleep study

Major anxiety about all this.

I have been reading all I can here.

Thank you for an amazing place for info and encouragement.
