Re: weight gain

I might be able to help.

Im 58. And i walk everyday too, or swim or bike.

IMHO processed carbs are often the problem.

Not to say go on an Atkins diet immediately.

But fill up on these foods: Fruit (yes, eat all you want) oatmeal, protein, beans, oatmeal, ......you get the idea.

"Sudden Centrals" on AHI. Decrease Pressure Support. Thanks Pugsy

1. My first post described how I had "Sudden Centrals" out of the blue. Overnight. Really bad, I mean like 11 AHI all centrals. Pugsy really helped me work on this, and thank you. 2. Im on BIPAP, and at first I switched to AUTO and did a baseline 25 INHALE and 12 EXHALE. This actually INCREASED the ...

Re: Newbie, help. Bipap Numbers Scewing To Centrals?

I edited all the text down to black normal. On AUTO.......my pressures are going to 19 now (and 15 exhale). The machine is trying to do its job. **My "events" are so awful, that it involves not breathing for about 45 seconds and then falling out of bed, ripping the mask off, not knowing where i am, ...

Re: Newbie, help. Bipap Numbers Scewing To Centrals?

Thanks Pugsy. I appreciate you. This stuff is literally life and death, not like some gossip board of no consequence. 1. Brilliant. Exactly. The "clusters" or severity of events is just as significant and valid and catastrophic as the averages. I mean, I might be asleep 7 hours and average a 3 cent...

Re: Newbie, help. Bipap Numbers Scewing To Centrals?

Thanks, sorry for the formatting, I prefer larger fonts and in blue color. Easier to read than this cryptic spidery mess mostly read by older people. PUGSY, I did what you said. AUTO Bipap. 25/12 range. RESULTS: Data shows i need just under 18 IPAP, and 14.4 Epap. 1. Most obstructional apneas now go...

Re: Newbie struggling after 4 weeks

I wonder if maybe you should sleep maybe only 3 hours the night before a sleep test, and
that day do at least a 4 mile walk or workout.

Its incredibly frustrating not getting the data you need

Re: Newbie, help. Bipap Numbers Scewing To Centrals?

Great idea, but what exactly is PS 4?? Should be in the clinicians menu easy enough to change. Tonight I'll either go with the increased pressure, or take your idea for AUTO 25/12 See what it spits out tomorrow. Thanks. Do BIPAP number USUALLY eventually need to be increased provided no other change...
