Hose temp is at 72 which should be right at room temperature, maybe a degree or too under. Why not try 74 tonight? It's dated, but here is a wiki on rainout - https://www.cpaptalk.com/wiki/index.php/Rainout Thank you! 76 and the problem seems to have gone away. It's so weird that this phenomenon st...

Hi, I have a Resmed Aircurve V10 that I've used for 4 years now. I haven't touched the settings in years and it's been working flawlessly up until a few nights ago. Using a full mask and heated hose. About 6 hours in I'll wake up and hear a gurgling or bubbling noise. Upon inspection I see that thei...

Here's my chart from last night. Taking Pugsy's thoughts I tried EPAP of 8.0 and a PS of 3. Looks pretty good to me! My allergies were pretty bad yesterday so I'm pretty happy with last night considering I thought I wouldn't sleep well at all. I had to wake up a few times to perform a sinus rinse. M...

The issue is I have sinus issues and many nights they are pretty clogged even with decongestants. As you know, congestion can make CPAP difficult. Have you consulted recently with an ENT? Treatments have improved over recent years. About 15 years ago I saw an ENT. I had turbinate reduction surgery....

Your AHI is still primarily centrals. Very little obstructive stuff with these drops in pressure. How did you come to be on your original settings? I don't see a need for those so much higher pressures...and in fact I don't see a need for 10 EPAP at this point. What position do you sleep in? Did yo...

The only thing within your control that you can do for centrals is maybe...stress the maybe part...is lower your PS and it might reduce the centrals. Lowering EPAP/IPAP shouldn't cause more centrals. I can't think of any logical reason. You don't take any meds that might suppress breathing do you? ...

I think EPAP of 10 would be what I would try. Still keep PS at 4 though. Your obstructive index last night was 0.43...that's very low and extremely acceptable and you have ample room to reduce EPAP without a hugely negative impact on the obstructive index. It sure sounds like EPAP is the main compo...

I don't like making 2 changes at the same time if at all possible. If you make 2 changes and get either a really good result or a bad result you won't know which change was the cause of the change in results. I wouldn't change PS just yet if it were me but you are free to do what you want. Thank yo...

I just now saw your report. Doesn't look like the machine varies the pressure all that much and most likely the times it might go to 21 are rare. Even your max pressure number isn't very high. The machine is almost functioning like a fixed pressure mode. I would drop EPAP to 12 and make no other ch...

My AHI is always less than 5.0. What's the breakdown (obstructive, clear airway, hypopnea)? Here's my OSCAR chart from last night. It's pretty representative. EDIT: I can't attach any files, something about the board's quota for file attachments has been met. Last night: AHI 2.12, CA 1.84, OA 0.14,...

I should have mentioned my AHI averages about 1-2 a night. I've tried to lower my IPAP before and my AHI starts to creep back up to 5-6 and I don't sleep as well. But I could give it a try again... But I was hoping from what I read I could solve it with the exhalation pressure because I have bad sin...

Hi All, This board has been incredibly helpful in getting my Resmed Aircurve 10 dialed in. Right now my pressures are set at IPAP is 18 and EPAP is 14 and I use a full face mask. My AHI is always less than 5.0. Lately I've been experiencing Aerophagia and the gas and stomach pain in the morning has ...

I've noticed this behavior a few nights in the screen shot below. For some reason my AirCurve seems to max out at 22. But I have the settings to max out at 25. Anyone have an idea on what might be going on?

Hi all! All is still going very well. Thank you all again! Now I'm moving on to the more annoying, mundane part of CPAP therapy. I use the ResMed F20 mask. The harness is causing my scalp to irritate. I have long hair so it's not touching the scalp itself. Just wonder if it's not allowing my scalp t...
