I realized last night that my tubing had a hole in it. Here is data from last night after I swapped out the tubes. I had previously changed humidity to fixed because of dry mouth but it seems to have been due to the leak because I woke up to water in my tube sometime in the early hours of the mornin...

Here is my old thread that has some data. I think that pressure relief does cause the centrals as I had that experience when I first got my apap. http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t179988/New-CPAP-user-looking-for-guidance.html?start=15 Last night I didn't have the mask on very long before falling a...

My provider switched me to a loaner bi-pap to see if it helps with my therapy. I was having really bad aerophagia. They got me the bi-pap but I don't think they put the settings anywhere near they should be but I don't know what settings I need to be at. I'm waking up super tired even on the new mac...

Hey everyone. I've had consistent results with my machine now for about a month plus after a few months of adjusting settings and changing masks. I'm now using the P10 nasal pillows with a chin strap to keep my mouth closed and have had good results. I had been increasing the pressure gradually but ...

So my numbers were really low the past week, but my sleep felt really bad. Morning headache, dry mouth, fatigue, lack of motivation during the day. I was starting to wonder if my mask was leaking more than my machine thought and then one night I actually woke to air coming out of my mouth. So I did ...

Are you feeling more rested during the day? Sort of. I'm waking up better and without large headaches. I think that I feel more rested but I haven't had a consistent stretch of good numbers yet to say for certain, and I've had to get up earlier than normal a couple times this week. The main thing t...

Hi Everyone. I ended up having really bag aerophagia so poured into the forums more and found some info from users about pressure and how it relates to the LES. I decided to go back to auto mode, but to tighten up the pressure range. I set my low pressure to 8 and my upper to 14. I had a couple good...

I need some more help from everyone. I’m getting good numbers right now, around 4-4.5 ahi at 11 pressure. But I’m having a really hard time stopping leaks. I’m using the p10 which is mostly comfortable, but I can’t get it to not leak. Tight. Loose. Straps together on the crown of my head. Open with ...

I will try 9.5 tonight, thanks. Another question for you all. When do you mask up? In my first couple days I was turning the machine on while I watched the to fall asleep to but I didn’t want it to record useless data from me being awake. But then occasionally I fall asleep without the mask and end ...

have you made a real effort to not sleep on your back (whether with stuff in behind you or some other way)? It would bring all those hypopneas way down. yeah I can't actually sleep on my back at all so I'd be very surprised if I was on my back at all for these captures. no, it's quite common. i'm v...

Hi everyone. It's been a month with the cpap and I had a followup with the sleep clinic so I wanted to get some more feedback from you all. My AHI was hovering around 15 with my CPAP set at the auto setting so the lab decided to set my pressure at a constant value. They chose 8 cmH2O which seemed to...

How did you sleep last night? Wake often or sleep soundly for the most part? I think about the same. Still woke up about 4 times to turn over and switch sides. Definitely less than usual in a night that’s for sure. Before the cpap I would wake all night and drink water constantly because I was so w...

I found the flex setting though it only had the option of setting it between 1 and 3, short of using the clinical manual. It did help however, I didn't feel like I was fighting the machine to breath as much. Here are my results from last night, I made two changes, I turned off the setting for which ...

thanks for the replies. I can do better graphs next time. I did an in lab study. They did not use a cpap on me to determine pressure. If I’m reading my results correctly from my sleep study I had 9 obstructive, 2 mixed and 12 central, 141 hypopneas, and 22 RERAs. I believe I was asleep during those ...

Hello! I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about a month ago and just received my machine this week. I've had a chance to use it twice now and loaded my info into OSCAR. I wanted to get some thoughts from you guys on my results because although I know it's only been two days with the machine, my result...
