Thanks, Zonker. It's good for me to read other people's stories about this. Just knowing it's a process (instead of a quick, easy solution) is helpful. Good to hear that you "zonker protocol-ed" your way to machine-setting success! :) Last fall, I tried upping that lower pressure by increments over ...

Thanks, Pugsy. I'll try that.

This is a follow-up to the last post I made, which was 10 months ago. I am so appreciative of the feedback I received to my earlier posts. At miss emerita's suggestion, I tried a soft cervical collar, and that made a HUGE difference, overall. I also changed the min pressure on my machine to 7 (it ha...

Got it! Thanks, zonker.

Thanks, Miss Emerita. I will try that soft cervical collar and see how that goes. This'll be my next change. One step at a time. And thank you for clarifying the CA data.

Tiny steps! All worth it.

No problem, zonker! (I started seeing some posts about attachments not uploading here because of space reasons and thought maybe that's why you didn't see mine.) Few more details, in case this helps: I'm a 60-year-old female, in good health. Mouth breather — deviated septum. (I'm working on ways to ...

Zonker, about docs: EXACTLY! That's what I gather from reading other people's posts. I have only seen one sleep doc in my sleep apnea journey so far, and he was so confused by my question about my charts and making any pressure adjustments. He's never seen my charts — he asks me how I feel, and that...

Learning a ton here. I appreciate your response. Couple things caught me eye here: 1. Aerophagia issues. I struggle with that at times — but it comes and goes. Maybe once or twice a week I have to pop a Gas-X in the middle of the night. That helps a lot. Too soon for me to tell if my pressure settin...

Makes total sense, Pugsy and Dog Slobber. Got it! Thanks.

Thanks so much for the input. Could you tell me how, from looking at this data, you have a sense of what the min pressure should be? I'd like to have a better understanding myself of how this all works. Also, when increasing pressure, is it best to do it incrementally, over time? Or okay to jump fro...

Hello! I was diagnosed with sleep apnea less than a year ago (18 AHI, OSA), and I'm at the point now where I'm trying to better understand the data I'm getting from OSCAR — and how I can use that info to help improve my treatment. I read over Pugsy's Pointers — Oscar tutorial, etc., which was super ...
