Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Hello ! I'm back. I've been using my ASV machine every day for the last six months and just not getting better :( I'm wondering if there was any advice on adjusting the machine or if I'm wired in as can be. My AHI is consistently very low. I'm starting to wake several times during the night again an...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Adjusting to the ASV way of going about its job can be a lengthy process. It's rare that someone starts on ASV and has an overnight miracle because often there are so many other factors involved in terms of sleep architecture in general. It seems like it. I think I'm on a good path now so I'll just...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Morning there, Last night I tried a different mouth tape and it held quit well. No problems with the mask or mouth but still woke up after six and a half hours of sleep quite tired. My arm was numb so I think I slept on it weird and woke up from that. I think I'm also waking with the sun so I might ...

Did they bother you? Is that what you meant? Otherwise, they are a non-issue.
They didn't bother me at all, I was just worried they might effect the treatment. If that's a non-issue, that's great. I'll try that mask again tonight.

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Morning, Keeping my progress on this thing updated. Last night I wore the f20 airtouch full face mask and my dreem device. Lots of leaks on it but less issues with my mouth opening. Did wake up earlier than I wanted with Pugsy's described "chipmunk cheeks." Wasn't able to get back to sleep after tha...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Don’t know if I am extra sensitive or what, but in general this is a health concern with all the electronics nowadays. Maybe this is something that will help you. Thanks for this. I was sleeping without my cell phone near my bed for the last couple months but I needed it there last night on account...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Hey there, Yesterday was a very hard to make it through the day. I got my dreem thing and last night wore that, mouth tape, chin strap, o2 meter, and bleep mask. I could NOT get to sleep though. I tossed and turned for three hours until I took some zzzquil, which I hadn't done in a few years. I feel...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

What's weird about that is that no large leaks are reported. When you say air rushing in, can I reinterpret as air rushing out? I can't see why air would be rushing in.... You're right, it would be air rushing out wouldn't it. Zooming in on the 4:10am I don't see any leak events at all around there.

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Morning there good people, So last night I put the ramp on the ASV, used the bleep mask, and wore a chin strap. Got to sleep much faster and then woke up at 4am with air rushing into my mouth :( Walked around a bit and got some water and slept again until 6:30 or so with air rushing into my mouth ag...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Hey Friends, I'm back. I was finally able to get an Resmed Aircure s10 ASV. Last night I used that my my n30 mask and a chinstrap. It honestly felt like I slept zero but I must have slept some. I'm pretty tired today but the numbers are interesting. It looks like i have some leak issues with my mask...

Re: OT: How do you get back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night?

I don't have a solution but from reading a ton of CBT-i I can tell you what allowed me to go back to sleep. Typically I'll wake up at 3am after 3 hours or so of sleep so waking up later would probably make it harder. But I what I do is: 1. Don't get frustrated. don't worry that waking in the middle ...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Hey friends, Didn't want to go dark on this. Yesterday I felt really really terrible almost the entire day. Usually by the night time I start to feel better. I even tried taking a nap but my body wasn't doing it. I start a new job today so just had to forgo cpap because I'm pretty sure it's making m...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Morning, Here's today's chart. Yesterday I felt pretty crap all day and this morning I can tell it's going to be a bad day too. I have a painful pimple on my nose so I had to move off the bleep and onto the DreamWare nasal cushion. The dreamware was giving me some pain so I was wrestling with it a l...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

Morning there, Yesterday I was watching some videos on central apnea as a result of cpap and they mentioned that too high a pressure can be one of cause it. So last night I decided to experiment and reduced my pressure a bit from 6 to 5. Still had a bunch of CA's but didn't have any obstruction even...

Re: No luck with cpap but want to try again

You elected to try cpap again and I assume it was because you were feeling pretty crappy. Yea, I could get into it but it's really ruining my life being tired all the time. Some days are worse than others but it's really sucking the light out of my life. At this point it makes sense for me to try a...
