So then ASV is really for people who have more Central apnea than obstructive or hypopnea? ResMed says my central apneas are only .8 per hour... Would that make me a candidate for ASV or no?

Is that different from my ResMed airsense 10 which adjusts pressure according to my need at any specific moment?

Can you explain how ASV is different from CPAP?

Thanks Jim. I have adjusted the mask dozens and dozens of times and that does not work. Can you recommend a mask or a type of mask liner that is known for alleviating leakage?

Pressures are 13/20. At these higher pressures my resmed f20 fullface mask leaks too much if I don't have the straps real tight. I can live with high leak numbers, but I can't live with being woken up frequently every night by the noisy leaks blowing in my face. Problem is, the tight straps have irr...

well it's only been 8 weeks since I've been on CPAP and every morning I wake up with a heavy eyes and bags under my eyes.... And generally I still have moments of tiredness and yawning throughout the day. I would say over the 8 weeks maybe 5 or 6 times I grabbed a 30-minute nap somewhere during the ...

Latest chart...pressures are up to 14/20, EPR is off....AHI been consistently below 5 these last two weeks but would love to see them lower..I never get an AHI below 1...not sure how much more bottom pressure I can take....hypopneas have increased dramatically while centrals and OA's are trending do...

You're insight is extraordinary

Pale Rider any idea what the brown colored overlay is on my pressure graph chart that I posted earlier today?

can you tell me more about this sleep-wake junk... It's a term I've read about a lot but I'm nnot quite grasping the concept and how it relates to our therapy and what it means Etc

And is this a hyopopnea? If neither are hypopneas, can someone post a chart that shows what a typical actual hypopnea should appear as?

is this a hypopnea?

First off, thanks to all of you for your wisdom (even you palerider)......The suggestions you have all given me with regards to pressure and EPR seem to be working...since I raised my pressure to 13 and removed my EPR, I've had 9 straight nights with AHI of 5 or less...yes that's not a large sample,...

Thanks I appreciate your input. I've noticed myself at all hypopneas are registered as 10 seconds so I do check them out to see just how long they were...

Quote anything I wrote that shows that I'm displaying a poor attitude...I am merely asking questions. If you're not interested in answering my questions feel free to not comment in the section. I don't need your attitude. So when you adjusted you can participate here, until then go away. I come here...
