Headaches

Been using my c pap for about a month. Initial setting was 4-20. I was still getting high AHI. Titrated up to 7-20 with great results. Ahi has been running around 2-6. The past few night I’ve been getting headaches when I wake up like I did before the c pap. Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: cpap "hyperness"?

I’m thrilled except I feel so jittery like I’m on speed. My heart is racing and I’m very anxious. Feel like my heart is jumping out my chest.

Re: New user. Numbers are going down enough

So that’s good! Looks like turning up the pressure from 4 to ) made the improvement. I appreciate your help.
Now to tell the doctor

Re: New user. Numbers are going down enough

I guess. I use to nap twice a day
And I’m not nearly as tired. I noticed that even with the ahi at 35. I guess I will wait a day or two and then if results are the same maybe increase to 7.

Re: New user. Numbers are going down enough

The office said the setting is 4-20 so it does up to 20. And increasing the 4 won’t help?

Re: New user. Numbers are going down enough

Tried to adjust pressure above 4 but it seems to be set. I don’t think I can adjust it. I think it’s set by therapist
