We don't know why you are seeing the pulmonologist in the first place...was it just the sleep issues or did you just have respiratory/lung issues and the pulmonologist was also the sleep specialist? So really can't answer any lung function questions. We don't know if you have lung function issues. ...

On Reddit, if I'm the OP, and I add an offshoot question to the thread, I get criticized. Deviate past one question, you need a new posting. Easier for the mods? I was thinking that when there is a mask leak, the pressures are off, or completely wrong. And that maybe there could be an option on OSCA...

Hypopnea event during a high leak, could be a false positive? And if I weeded out the events matched to high leaks, my AHI would be better?

How about I move this post and combine it with the other post?
So it is water under the bridge but water I can fix.
In this situation the information here is much needed in that other thread.

Thank You

So helpful would have been to add this to old post so we don't have to go looking for info...

Well, water under the bridge. I could have just edited the previous post.

Do you take any medications? If so, what? Answer Miss E's questions please. As far as the report goes....I don't see any need to change anything based on just what the report itself shows other than the breaks in therapy thing which tells me you aren't sleeping so great. Now why you aren't sleeping...

Your AHI looks good. Leaks also are at acceptably low rates, provided they don't wake you up. I see three breaks in therapy; what were the reasons? And you spent a long time in bed; is that normal for you? For most people, 10+ hours will actually be too much, leaving them less refreshed during the ...

In 30 days I visit my New Doc, old one moved out of town. I am at 20 over 16 cm, do I ask to lower the pressures? If I am, again, offered Pulmonary Rehab, should I accept? Just what is "Rehab"? I am on supplemental O2 @ 2 Liters, should I ask to lower that? The previous Doc was like "you are fine, s...

What do I look for? What is important? What can I change or improve?

Just started the end of Nov 2018. EP is 16, IP is 20 , PS is 4, O2 is 2L/min. I'm having problems with mask leaks. Do the pressure settings ever get lower. I see the Doc again at the end of March. Do I ask the Doc to lower the pressures? Will I need a new titration if I complain?
