I believe that is going to be the first planned change palerider. Maybe Friday or Saturday night I'll back it off by 1 cm and give it a few days and then another point if all is going well.
Last night was a short night, but still moving in the right direction. Maybe I managed to stay on my side more.

Re: New APAP/CPAP user with concerns.
Follow up - Been a few days, lots of phone calls, and a few crappy nights of sleep taking care of a sick child. I finally got to talk with DME about my concerns over the OSA events at higher pressure. But they told me for insurance coverage to code for a bilevel machine I'd either need to have some ...

Re: New APAP/CPAP user with concerns.
Excellent point palerider! I'll plan to tinker with the EPR level in the near future and see if it helps. I'll hope that it doesn't make for worse aerophagia issues. The three nights of CPAP has had me feeling like I've been downing way too many carbonated drinks. Maybe if auto mode only needs to go...

If you google "sleep stages" a...

Re: New APAP/CPAP user with concerns.
Thanks for the welcome. Please understand that the term bipap is actually a Respironics trademark name for their bilevel machines...I know it has become sort of used generically but if we are to be 100 % accurate....the term is really bilevel when speaking about the machines in general.

New APAP/CPAP user with concerns.
Hello everyone! I have a couple questions to see if anyone can shed some light via experience or knowledge concerning what I'm seeing with my SleepyHead data. I've only recently started using PAP therapy (12/28/18). I had my sleep study done the Sunday night before Christmas and they rushed right al...
