cervical collar

I’ve been sleeping with the cervical collar now for over a week. In the beginning I saw my ahi go from about 5 to about 2.5. But now it basically stays at about 4 so there is no significant change. Also the collar pushes up my mask and has been causing a lot of leakage.

Given the high pressures you are using, did you ever try a foam cervical collar to see if your pressure requirements would be lower?
I sleep on my back that may be the problem but I’m gonna try the collar

Re: One month in....still feeling bad any advice here?

I've raised my min pressure from 16-20 to 18-20 and im having many more centrals can anyone tell me why? What is "many more"? Like from 5 then it can move to 10 10 per hour, or 10 per night being vague with questions or comments doesn't get good answers. Not trying to be vague Per night

Re: One month in....still feeling bad any advice here?

At best, they only show what pressure you need on one night in the strange environment of a sleep lab. well i had a bad day felt like i regressed and got scared that im not having a recovery so i called the doctor...one day in the bigger picture is small but its...

Re: One month in....still feeling bad any advice here?

I sleep on my back and it causes lots of interruptions in my sleep. I tried to sleep on my side but i just couldn't fall asleep. Does anyone have any tips they know of changing sleeping positions from back to side?

i dont know what else could be causing this besides sleep
Oh I know a potential culprit...but you didn't want to hear about it and poo pooed me off.
Not saying it was 100% the culprit but I am betting my last dollar it plays a significant impact in your unwanted daytime symptoms.
