I seem to be going backwards and unable to spend as much time on the machine as i should. Last night I struggled again with getting comfy and with air leaks. It seems to have become harder once the pressure increased. CA's appear more often now but again, some are obviously when I am awake and are p...

This was last nights Oscar Report and as usual, it appears 90% of CA's are when I am still awake and trying to get to sleep. Again I tossed and turned and at one stage had a large leak, but no OA's were apparent. I think the next thing to do is increase the starting pressure pressure by .4 more and ...

I have posted last nights Oscar Reports and they are much better. I am now actually quite confident that most of the "Centrals" are either positional or just "junk" readings. I can see that the pressure was always up towards the max (12), I can clearly remember in my mind being very uncomfy and unab...

Good Luck to you also Zonker.

Cheers

Hi Khauser. I didn't like the feel of the EPR and when it was used it did make results worse. I think i will remain the starting at 9.2 tonight and still limit it to 12 and see how things go for a couple of days. I guess i should not go making changes on impulse and i should leave a few days to see ...

@ Khauser, so perhaps tonight i should try capping it FIXED at 11. That probably would not bee too uncomfy for me and we can see how it goes from there and if it has any impacts on the CA. Be they better or worse. The CAs waking me up is the issue, it makes it so hard to get to sleep. But using a se...

I have posted below what was my 2nd night on CPAP. I had a similar result on the first night, this was the second night and as such I ceased using the machine until I saw the Specialist a week or so later, as an appointment had been made 6 weeks prior. The CA's concerned me for obvious reasons but t...

@ Julie I have posted a few Oscar Screenshots at the beginning of the thread. It appears that you missed them. @ Pugsy I agree that 12 is probably higher than i need, but i have to not only determine the guy is right, i have to feel like i can trust him and i obviously don't and if i don't get thing...

Hi Julie, I tend to agree and thats why i come here, having lurked for a month I have no doubt that many people in here have some great knowledge. The problem is that as I said in the first post, I don't feel comfy with him, I have toyed around at changing, but given he is a Lung Respitory Specialis...

The only concern i have is that the Sleep Dr wants to try and reduce the ups and downs of pressure, he said something about he believes that this is the cause of the issue. Something about the Co2 being caused to be cleaned and washed away.

Thanks for your suggestion, i will check it out

Hi Khauser, I had a sleep study indicating 75 events per hr. I then had a Titration study, The breakdown of events on the report only indicated 3-4 CA's the whole evening. Rest were OSA and a few listed as Hyponeas. The CA's only seem to happen when i am trying to get to sleep. The Sleep Dr believes...

I forgot to post two Oscar Charts. (They are out of order)

My Sleep Dr was annoyed that I got an Auto Machine but I did so knowing that it can also be used as a fixed machine if desired. I must admit to being not overly happy nor satisfied with him, but for a while I will do what he says and give him a chance to prove that he knows his game and can help me....

Hi Chunkyfrog. I guess I will know the exact position after I try a FFM and see what the results are like. Then, hopefully good results mean i can wear the FFM rather that the N20 and a chin strap. I found the mask itself was bearable after only 10 minutes..... but that chin strap :( Stay safe Mate :)

Hi Guys, Excuse my blank profile, my package will be arriving soon but I wanted to discuss Chin Straps and gain advice. I don't know the exact package as yet, only the cpap machine which will be Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset CPAP. I just did my 2nd sleep study, the one where you are fitted with CPAP et...
