Increased fatigue and sleepiness on BIPap therapy.
I'm a 34 year old male. My AHI is usually 1 or below. No major leaks. History of high blood pressure and anxiety. Currently on two BP medicines. Amlodipine and Benzapril. I experience fatigue and brain fog after waking up and for several hours of the day. Could therapy be reducing my blood pressure ...

Re: Why would the majority of my AHI be made up of clear airway events?
So I've been experiencing other problems. At the 10:6 pressure, my AHI is usually good, but yesterday I woke with really bad aerophagia. Felt like a knife in my belly. Passed most of it in a couple hours, but really debilitating. So, last night, I tried a pressure of 8:4 and only slept for 3.5 hours...

Here are the last two nights. AHI has crept up just a smidge, but nowhere near as high as before. Still experiencing some bloating, but it has definitely improved so far. Might try dropping down the pressure by 1(9:5). Thanks again for the advice.

Re: Myair results unerstand
I have an Aircurve BiPap machine. Not sure if its similar, bit, If you can get into the clinician menu and sleep report, the data is more detailed. Not sure why they lock that out from users, but whatever. Just make sure not to alter any settings while your in it.

Re: Why would the majority of my AHI be made up of clear airway events?
You are right. The full face mask was a bust. I played with it last night and it leaked like a sieve no matter how I adjusted it. I ended up going back with the nasal mask and I adjusted the setting to what was suggested. AHI was 2.64. Was a little more difficult to fall to sleep with this higher ex...

Re: Why would the majority of my AHI be made up of clear airway events?
So I went ahead and slept another night at the 12.4 pressure just to see what would happen. Same results. Posted the graph down below. I also updated my Doctors Office to the problem and they suggested a full face mask and if that didn't work, pressure adjustment. So I'm going to give that full face...

Re: Why would the majority of my AHI be made up of clear airway events?
These are the only reports I have seen. This is the first sleep study: "INDICATIONS: The patient is a 33-year-old white male referred to sleep lab for investigation of obstructive sleep apnea. His history and physical features suggest obstructive sleep apnea in the setting of obesity (height 6 feet ...

Re: Why would the majority of my AHI be made up of clear airway events?
I do not have any underlying lung issues. I did not see the doctor in between my second sleep study and getting the machine, so nobody really explained to me what the settings meant. They just gave me the same machine and showed me how to use it. I followed up with the doctor about a month after usi...

Why would the majority of my AHI be made up of clear airway events?
First time poster to these forums so thanks for the help in advance. I routinely experienced bad snoring throughout my life and perpetual tiredness(lack of productive sleep). I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea several months back after doing a sleep study(AHI measured at 15). I had a follow-u...
