Re: Another Discouraged Newbie

I think I'm making progress, but I'm still struggling. I have slowly increased the min. pressure from 5.0 to 7.5 and switched to a full face mask. My AHI has generally come down.

It is intermittent, some days I’m OK, and some days I’m so exhausted I can’t function. 4 years ago I did a sleep study and was told I did not have apnea. I recently did another one and was ...
