Re: What would be "high pressure" for BIPAP?
Dropped down to min pressure of 10. After adjusting blankets and getting an upper cervical spine adjustment, I had a pretty good night of uninterrupted sleep with very few wakeups (per my fitness gadget). Overall AHI still 8, but mostly SWJ and an episode of heavy breathing with pauses (marked as CA...

Re: What would be "high pressure" for BIPAP?
My sleep tracking fitness device (I make no claims to it's accuracy but it will at least show night-to-night variability) says I got the longest uninterrupted periods of deep and REM sleep since I bought the thing.

Howdy all; second post here. After watching my AHI stabilize around 8-12 on CPAP for weeks (and still feeling miserable), I had another sleep study where they found that all my awakenings and central issues were cured by "higher pressure" on their in-lab BIPAP machine.

New user event interpretation
Good morning! New CPAP user here in the USA. Years of feeling tired and foggy all the time. Sleep study showed AHI of 20; equal mix of centrals & hypopneas with a few obstructions. Had the CPAP machine for a couple weeks now. I have noticeably more energy during the day, but am still not feeling any...
