Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

Thanks Pugsy. I agree it was a HUGE jump. I hadn’t heard of cpap flex but I did notice last night it had a respiratory pause. I’m definitely calling him Monday to go back to APAP (unless I can figure out how to get past the locked settings before then)

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

Well my struggle continues. I had my 30 days follow up appointment with my Cardiologist and he wasn’t happy with my AHI so he changed me from APAP 8-12 to CPAP FLEX 13. I’ve used it 2 nights and I’m struggling with the pressure. Nose and throat is dry and burning. What is CPAP FLEX?? I’m calling him...

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

I think I know why my AHI was twice as high last night. I took 2 Robaxin muscle relaxers right before bed - prescription for muscle pain from my surgery. Dr Google says it can definitely depress respiration and could cause insomnia. Done with Robaxin!!! 😫

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

Thank you Pugsy. I will call my DME and see if they will change it for me. I did find Preferemces and I selected the pie chart but it was still there. They only diagnosed me with OSA but from the number of clear events I’m having I think I may have CSA as well? This 5 was a big improvement- all last...

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

Thank you! Yes I did see the attachment and when I tried to add the screen print, that’s when I got the error message. Today was a busy day but I’ll have more time to play with it tomorrow hopefully! 😃

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

I think I removed the calendar! Small victory, but I'll TAKE IT! And I tried a different way to screen print through the VIEW on my report. This time it saved it to a PNG. Now I really have to sign off, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

Hello everyone! I'm back from my surgery and finally able to walk downstairs to get to my PC so I'm ready to try this again! I bought the adapter from BestBuy to insert my SD card into my PC since my PC did not have a slot for an SD card. I am able to see my profile and statistics now. I tried to re...

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

Thank you Grace! In addition to my mastectomies and reconstruction, I also had a pacemaker put in in July and then diagnosed with OSA. 2018 has been a tough one! Worst part - having to cancel my Australia/New Zealand Cruise and vacation. ⛴⚓️🚢. Excellent suggestion about asking the anesthesiologist! ...

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

Thanks to everyone who responded to try and help me. I verified that my PC doesn’t have an SD port. I ordered the connector from my friend Amazon but it won’t be here in time for me to load it to SH. I have reconstruction surgery this week so it may be several days before I get back to this. Thanks ...

Re: Finally slept with mask. Why am I still 13 AHI?

Updated the machine to Auto. So does this model collect any data that Sleepyhead could use for reports?
