Re: Thinking of raising my pressure.

You could look at raising the minimum-range pressure, rather than the maximum-range pressure. Your AHI is fine as it stands and if you raise the maximum pressure you will probably do nothing but increase the leak rate. :idea: If I'm not mistaken, I don't believe he can raise his maximum pressure an...

Re: Thinking of raising my pressure.

You can try a little more pressure and see if it makes any difference in anything and then decide what you want to use. Remember....the Clear Airway/Central events you can't fix them with more pressure. I think the obstructions are what I’m trying to get rid of. When raising pressure, should I rais...

How did you sleep?

Wake much or sleep soundly for the most part?

Why do you want to raise the pressure?
I slept pretty good. I think I’m getting it very close to being dialed in just wanted a second opinion.

Re: AHI goal.

Just to reinforce what djams said... when you're 'fine tuning', you have to work with *averages*, since sleep varies from night to night... don't diddle with the settings just because you had an off night... now, if you're having a string of off nights, then it warrants investigation. This will be ...

Does EPAP have any effect on any or this? I’m at 1 as I mentioned earlier and it’s comfortable. Love my nasal pillows.

Re: AHI goal.

How are you sleeping and feeling in general? I see one break in therapy for sure last night...why? Were there more times where you woke up but you didn't turn the machine off? How is your nasal congestion? Having much or is the nose clear for the most part? Answer these questions and I can better o...
