Re: Cpap data

I had some thoughts about this, but on reflection I think the prior question is whose requirement you're needing to meet.

Re: Airsense 10 problem?

You might want to check that you don't have ramp on with a low pressure, which can leave people feeling air-starved.

Re: Events per hour has increased

Change the mode first; then use the settings I gave you. Any chance your doctor could work with you on changing the timing of your diuretic pills?

Re: Events per hour has increased

You can emulate your current settings by switching to VAuto mode and using these settings: EPAP min 15 IPAP max 19 PS 4. This will allow you to see your flow limitations. As for what the doctor will think.... First, you have the right to change your settings. This will not void your insurance, for e...

About dizziness: I learned by experience that there can be significant benefits from vestibular physical therapy.

Re: RemStar 560p APAP vs BiPAP

The ST machine has been recalled, and in any case, an ST machine is a very different beast from your PAP machine. (I'm not sure, but I think your current machine has been recalled too, if it's a REMstar machine.) https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/respiratory-devices/recalled-philips-ventilators-bi...

To follow up on ozij's post, it would be helpful in particular to know the central apnea index from your original sleep study.
By "original" do you mean a sleep study other than the titration study?
Yes. Thanks for the clarification.

Re: Apnea Events Still High After Titration Study Help Needed Lowering Events

Thanks for posting the titration-study report and the Oscar charts. In your original sleep study, what was the break-down of your AHI (obstructive apnea, central apnea, hypopnea)?

Re: Elevated AHI reading while trying to fall asleep

What Zonker said. Asleep breathing is much more regular than awake breathing. We often pause our breathing when we're awake; any pause of 10 seconds or more will be identified by the machine as a central apnea.

Re: Blowing my own trumpet...AHI -low events achievement

Excellent result! I agree with Okie B. -- just getting under 5 isn't good enough. But under 1 is terrific!

Re: getting healthy

Welcome! A couple of thoughts about your question. You're going to want to treat your sleep apnea even if it has no effect at all on your mental state. Chronic apnea can increase your risks of several serious physical diseases. Many people without your diagnoses find that once their apnea is well tr...
