Thanks - I did lower EPR to 1 a while ago but will just turn off and see how that goes

Been a while since I posted. I have been doing well overall. Just curious if anyone might have some insights. I know drinking effects sleep but these two screenshots show just how much. The one with all the CAs was sober. The other one(.41 AHI) is after a night of moderate drinking. The OAs have imp...

Hi All - it's been awhile since I've posted. Things have been progressing pretty well. I met with sleep doc who said my numbers look good and just keep doing what I'm doing. I am still having multiple wakeups and am going to be doing an inlab sleep study as he thinks I may have REM sleep behavior di...

I've attached last 3 nights. Last night I stayed asleep(or at least don't remember waking up) for almost 4-5 hours(between 1AM - 6AM) which is unheard of for me! and I'm excited about that. So safe to say many of the CA's are not false positives? Just curious if anyone has input/suggestions as to wh...

My latest and greatest. Same old story I suppose. Very little aerophagia issues with raising the pressure to 7.2. Somewhat off topic but I finally got around to trying microdosing mushrooms over the weekend. Not sure what to make of it and I know fitbit and oura ring can't be 100% relied upon but my...

perfect - that's what I'm looking for, opinions I will actually go to 7.2 - it's nice not having aerophagia issues

Just thought I was due for a post. I feel like I am getting there and going to raise the minimum pressure. I am tempted to go to 8 but still a little wary of the dreaded aerophagia. On Wednesday, I tried loosening my mask a bit which I think is why the large leaks. I am still having multiple wakeups...

Thank you! it does help - interesting to hear other's journeys. That sounds like quite the ride.

"I don't know" words we don't often hear from doctors and a lot of people think doctors shouldn't ever be in a position to say those words but in reality no one can be immune from having to say those words if they have half a brain. Some doctors think they are gods and shouldn't ever even need to s...

Ok, in that case, go to 7.2 and sneak up on 8, like Zonker did, it'll never see you coming. meerkat.gif palerider speaks the truth. it took me a very long time to get my pressure up to where it is now, where it is actually helping my sleep apnea. there was a time, maybe this time last year, when i'...

thanks palerider/zonker. That is what I suspected and I guess the last time I will give this doc the benefit of the doubt. I think :? he's trying to help but just doesn't get it(or perhaps it's more nefarious like palerider said) but I have to believe this guy has enough on his plate than to keep me...

Many Dr’s believe fixed pressure provide a better sleep quality, so they use the auto settings or an in Lab Titration to find your optimal pressure and then set your machine to that. I don’t agree, your sleep changes from night to night, when your on your back you need more pressure. Sleep even cha...

So I met with sleep doc. I wish I had a recording of the conversation. Not sure what to make of much of what he said. He wants me to go with a fixed pressure of 7 for now?? I told him I wasn't sure if I wanted to but would think about it. He also wants me to stop tracking my sleep and posting on her...

Thank you Pugsy - yes you went over it and yes the aerophagia has been an issue but seems to be under control with the pressure at 7 and some OTC meds. I just didn't know if something stuck out right away that says yes! simple! the pressure needs to be increased. I do intend to raise the pressure an...

The bulk of the centrals/CAs seem to be happening around 06:00 shortly after a known awake time where the machine was turned off and back on again. I am betting those are awake flagged events and probably don't count. If that's the case the few OAs and hyponeas around the same time are also false p...
