Re: Been using APAP since August-- data and questions

What mask are you using? How are YOU sleeping? I see no real red flags anywhere on these reports. Even your worst case scenario reports aren't horrible and unless you have a lot of those...I wouldn't be worrying about them. Your leaks are next to nothing in terms actual excess leak. I wonder if you...

Been using APAP since August-- data and questions

Hello all, I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me since beginning therapy back in August. I am back now with a couple of recent nights' data in order to check in with you all who are more versed in reading these to see if I am still on the right track. 1) Do you notice any red flags at all in ...

Can cheap filters cause problems with APAP?

My wife accidentally threw out my ResMed filters, and I have to wait until next month for the insurance to pay for new ones, so I just ordered a cheap pack from Amazon from an off-brand vendor. The filters DO fit, but they are clearly made of different fabric, etc. Since changing filters, I have not...

Re: New APAP User--QUESTIONS

I see nothing of great excitement screaming "fix me" on the reports above. Your leaks are well managed on paper anyway. If you are happy and comfortable with the mask.....no urgent need to change. Now if you are having tiny leaks and they are waking you up a lot that might be a different story. Or ...

Re: New APAP User--QUESTIONS

Thank you all for the help. I adjusted my settings last night to 6.5-15 for the new range. I am going to let that run for a few nights to see if there's any difference or improvement. Other than that, is there anything in any of my posted data that jumps out to you all as a red flag that I may be do...

Re: New APAP User--QUESTIONS

Thank you for the replies, gentlemen . Pugsy is not a man, and palerider is not gentle. Do you all think that someone with the screen ID name of Pugsy might be a bit weird if they were a man? I do. Just might make me raise my eyebrows a bit. :lol: I just assumed you REALLY liked your dog ! Sorry!

Re: New APAP User--QUESTIONS

Thank you for the replies, gentlemen. I’m new to all this so I really appreciate the guidance . I’ll try to mess with some of the settings a bit now that I know the insurance won’t ditch me.

Re: New APAP User--QUESTIONS

Do you end up on your back a lot later on in the night? Seems like a pattern of increased activity everywhere starting about midway through the night. My first guess would be maybe you were on your back. REM stage sleep would also do it but REM cycles and yours seems more constant. If it was me the...

Re: New APAP User--QUESTIONS

Attached are some of my OSCAR files. One from the first night that I owned an SD card for it, and the rest are from the past few nights. Any input or advice is greatly appreciated. Sorry for not posting these earlier.

New APAP User--QUESTIONS

Hello all, I have just received and have been using my first APAP machine, and I am newly diagnosed with mild sleep apnea (7 AHI). I have a few questions for some of you who have been living with this for a number of years and who have had some time to learn about how the machines function and the i...
