Re: Apneas Whilst TRYING to sleep/wakefulness
Thank you all for the replies! I was not notified of the replies hence the delay. I’m also travelling. I’ll look at them closely and revert. I saw anxiety come up; I would be surprised if this is the cause. I even got home having had too much to drink the other night (rare), and the events still occ...

Apneas Whilst TRYING to sleep/wakefulness
Hello All, I hope you are well and that therapy is going to plan! For me, not so. Despite 2 years of good adoption with my CPAP, I’ve recently developed a ‘new’ sort of issue - experiencing what ‘seem to be’ apneas before I’m even asleep. I’ll simply be trying to doze off, then as I get closer to ge...

Re: Rise in AHI, and Accurate Way to Determine AHI
Thank you Pugsy. I don't know how to change the Auto ON function, no. I am not familiar with any of the metrics on SH other than the basic ones - OA, CA, pressure, etc. What do we mean by Flow Rate, and what other metrics should I be keeping an eye on if not just AHI? And thanks - I will talk to my ...

Re: Rise in AHI, and Accurate Way to Determine AHI
Julie thanks. I have sent a link to Imgur for latest SleepyHead stats. Is that ok? Also I have played with pressure - it seems that higher pressures actually make me worse. But I will up to about 6 in this case and see. I agree about weight gain - a lot of it is invisible. Pugsy - thanks. I was tryi...

Rise in AHI, and Accurate Way to Determine AHI
Hi All, Second post on this site. Hope you are all keeping well. If it's ok, could someone please advise in a couple of areas? I've used a CPAP Dreamstation for the past 2.5 years now. But recently, my AHI has increased from an average of about 3 to now about 5-6. All with machine usage of 5+ hours....

If you zoom out you can see the full image.
I am not sure where I would find answers to your questions, I am seeing a specialist in a few months but happy to learn something new now!

Re: AHI and Symptoms
I’ll plug my SD card in later and share it with you if that’s ok? I slept with foam noodles inserted into the back of my t shirt - would suggest less time therefore on my back? I know supine position is a huge culprit for most apnea sufferers.. I probably also had deeper sleep to compensate for yest...

Re: AHI and Symptoms
Thanks Pugsy.
My machine is the DreamStation Auto and it was set between 4-20. Last night I adjusted it on your advice to min 5. I got a worse AHI of 4.3 although symptom wise probably not as bad as yesterday when it was lower!

Re: AHI and Symptoms
Not letting me take off the chart Pugsy! Thanks for the pointers though. How do I go about upping the minimum pressure on the DreamStation Auto?
