Nope. Just the breathing.

So I actually got a chest xray back that shows slight hyperinflation in my lungs. Is it possible that apap can cause this or is it more likely related to over breathing caused by anxiety? I dont smoke and I have no history of asthma. My doctor told me she thinks the apap could be overinflating my lu...

Thanks for the replies! Good info and opinions :) thanks dog slobber. Ill try to keep my posts in a single thread. Im feeling like i have more energy in general the last couple of days, which has been nice. I notice that more than one cup of coffee actually leavs me feeling jittery and uncomfortable...

after talking with my doctor about some chest tightness I was having (and doing an ekg/chest xray to rule anything out) she was questioning whether or not I needed cpap, or if I was just experiencing fatigue due to general anxiety/hypochondria. My ahi in lab was 5.3 a couple years ago, I hit all sta...

hey ya'll. Ive been using apap for a couple of weeks now. Yesterday I noticed it felt like I had to work a bit harder to get satisfying breaths. There is no pain. A bit of background information. I am 28 years old. Male. 6'4 175 lbs. Hypochondriac. Anxiety. Depression. Have had heart conditions rule...

Its the average median I believe. I domt have the stat sheet in front of me. I think the 95% average was closer to 14. I saw those stats on the statistics page I think?

So I noticed my average minimum pressure for the last couple of weeks is 11.8 does my minimum pressure need to be closer to something like 9 or 10? Currently at 7.6 I notice my aerophagia is only really bad on nights that my pressure jumps up to over 16 and stays there for a good portion of the nigh...

Gotcha. It typically takes me 10-15 minutes to fall asleep.

Hey ya'll. Im still a noob when it comes to reading data and was wondering if most of my CA's were real or not.

So aside from the weird hour long gap ion the data, my numbers look good, but i feel damned exhausted this morning. I remember waking up a few times having to take the mask off, then begrudgingly put it back on. around 4am i woke up again with a tummy ache and had to take the mask off to go back to ...

hmm thats interesting. Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough with your responses! I do one day intend to get my septum dealt with, but for now I suppose I'll have to just give it more time and see how things change as I adjust to the machine/mask life.

Good to know about the 95% its definitely possible that i was on my back during those moments. Is there a way to deal with flow limitations? Try to sleep on my side more often?

Aerophagia seems to be a lot better after setting the epr back to normal. last night i was woken up by the pressure being at 20. I think thats the first time ive hit that. my 95% was also really high. does my minimum pressure need to be higher? It also seems like for a lot of these events i might be...

Increased pressure to 7.2 last night and lowered per to 2. Got an ahi of 0.6! Feeling pretty well rested today, but unfortunately it appears that I ended up with some aerophagia. Pretty painful morning. I have a deviated septum that makes it pretty hard to breathe through my nose. Any advice on how ...

I'm also feeling more exhausted than usual. Is there a worse before better period for some people? Thanks for all the help by the way ya'll.
