Re: 2 weeks on CPAP alternating between amazing and horrible
Setting the starting rate to 9-10 has made a huge difference, my VS rate came down from around 2-3 to almost nothing and my VS2 came down from 15-20 to 4-6. I think 9 suits me better than 10, even though 9 has more snoring, the pressure stays lower. Also notice once I started taping my mouth in the ...

Re: Mouth leaking vs. mask leaking
I noticed I was getting regular large increases in pressure/leak. Happened regularly for the first 2 weeks, as soon as I started using mouth tape no more large increases in pressure and leak, much more consistent. I was tinkering with the starting number, was initially 4 and increased it to 7,8 and ...

Re: 2 weeks on CPAP alternating between amazing and horrible
Ah cool, I bought a large U shape pillow and it prevented me back sleeping but it did not seem to make any difference on snoring, the majority of the night I side sleep and I always start out side sleeping but I seem to snore all night not just in periods. I am going to try medical tape on the lips ...

Re: 2 weeks on CPAP alternating between amazing and horrible
I'm stuck on a 3 month rental contract so I have to see that out but I have heard a few people recommending the Resmed, I am male though so not sure the 'For her' version will be the best choice :D but I was planning to purchase a Resmed at the end of the 3 month contract since they are looking for ...

Re: 2 weeks on CPAP alternating between amazing and horrible
Yeah that makes a lot of sense, I managed to find a video which shows me how to get admin access to change the settings so I have it set to 7 now as the minimum. I often find the first few minutes I have to take deep breaths at 4 so maybe 7 will make that easier too but since I still seem to snore e...

Re: 2 weeks on CPAP alternating between amazing and horrible
Why do you think I don't have it from the graphs, is there something that indicates that? But yes, was diagnosed in a private clinic in an overnight sleep study with an AHI of 10 so it is just mild sleep apnea but the symptoms are severe IMO. The fact I felt better than I have for years after 1 nigh...

Re: At home sleep study ahi 2.5
Just to add, I got a sleep apnea test 5 years ago with a home kit, said I did not have it. Symptoms remained for years and eventually got an in lab test and I had mild sleep apnea. Can't be certain I did not have it then but the symptoms back then were the same as it was when I was diagnosed years l...

2 weeks on CPAP alternating between amazing and horrible
I started using my dreamstation with nasal mask on the 5th of Aug. First 3 days were amazing, I haven't felt like that in years, so much energy from the time I got up until the time I went to bed. It's only after you feel better you realise how bad I felt, If I did not get 2-3 hours sleep after work...
