Re: Periodic breathing

I think he was in and out of sleep during the flagged centrals. He can fall asleep easy but wakes up very easily.

Re: Periodic breathing

Thanks! Yes he has the Resmed auto set and definitely noticed the pulses. He was doing better for a few nights and then allergies hit and he couldn’t breath through his nose for weeks despite meds and sprays. Needed higher pressures due to the nasal congestion. Now nose is better and I’ve got it bac...

Periodic breathing

Posted awhile back about my husband who has very high centrals (AHI 20-30+, almost all CA events) since starting CPAP. Saw the doctor and everything checks out health wise. He’s healthy with no cardiac issues. Initially he had improvement with just keeping the settings min 6 and max 8 but then aller...

Re: New User - AHI 53 on APAP

Thanks for the detailed reply!

The home sleep study was ResMed apnealink. According to that study the CA was 0.2. Not sure if its accurate at all.

Last nights result is much better - AHI was <5.

Should I turn up the max pressure to 8.5 or just leave as is?

Thanks

Re: New User - AHI 53 on APAP

Thank you pugsy! I changed it to min 6 and max 7 but I heard loud snoring so I upped the max to 8 after about 20 minutes. Here is the new graph with min 6 and max 8. It looks much better. Thinking to just keep like this and see if the CAs naturally improve. Will definitely try to get an appt as well.

New User - AHI 53 on APAP

We purchases the resmed APAP Airsense - online - due to COVID it wasn't possible to get fitted in person. This is the second night of use and both nights the AHI has been 50+. When I l...
