Re: My AHI is VERY high
I do!
Everytime I change my pressure the company I bought it from changes it themselves the next day after seeing the reports.
I had it at min 13 and max 20 and they changed it to minimum 8 again.

Re: My AHI is VERY high
Okay so I have been doing lots of trial and error. I moved the max pressure back to 20 and did mask fits to ensure its sealed properly before going to sleep.
Managed to get my AHI down to 12 and seems like Im needing less pressure. How do I get it even lower?

Re: My AHI is VERY high
okay, I have been doing a lot of trial and error. The nasal mask was a total disaster, the air was going through my nose and out my mouth - woke up feeling like I was in a spaced out dream world - was horrible. I figured out I had the wrong size for the F20 full mask, so I bought the replacement cus...

Re: My AHI is VERY high
I slept soundly, did not wake up at all during the night which I havent done in a long time - but I still felt very tired when I woke up. Was nearly 10 hrs of solid sleep. My mouth and lips were covered in dried saliva - all around my mouth was white when I woke up. I dropped the pressure because I ...

Re: My AHI is VERY high
okay here are the results using the Mirage FX - which is nasal only.

Re: My AHI is VERY high
Our mail/postal system does not work lol. Only way is to use FedEx or DHL but ends up being more than the actual mask. Thanks for the offer though. There are a few online stores locally that supply CPAP equipment. I can get any ResMed product here easily as well as Phillips or Fisher Paykel or ResSm...

Re: My AHI is VERY high
Okay here are last night results. I turned EPR off and increased the pressure to 20. I switched over to my Airtouch mask as they are interchangeable with the Airfit and the Airtouch is much more comfortable but it seems like there was a lot of leakage - I had to readjust a few times in the night. Sc...

Re: My AHI is VERY high

Re: My AHI is VERY high
I have included a screenshot of the assessment from my Sleep Clinic - they are saying I need a pressure of 8.5 which is ridiculous as it does nothing for me. (*I live in South Africa - so the quality of healthcare is not as good as the US). However when they did the sleep test they used a nasal mask...

Re: My AHI is VERY high
Thanks for the feedback.
I fixed the machine in my profile - I selected the wrong one by accident.
I will try disable the EPR tonight and see how it goes.
