Sorry, I should have said, my leak control is far superior to all the other users. In other words, I have had far less leak than others. card comparison 2.png As you can see on the second graph, my leaks barely hit the record. Yet look at that top graph! My total time in apnea is WAY more than every...

Howdy, Okay, I'm doing a bit better. Here's my most recent OSCAR (from 2 nights ago): Night of Dec 2.png The bottom line is it ultimately turned out me being in a strictly supine (face up) position wasn't as critical as I had thought. Some of my recent nights with being supine were AHI's of 6 or so....

Hi, Things weren't as rosy as I had hoped. Below is my screenshot from 2 nights ago - where after struggling with apparent sleep-onset apnea, I went back to sleep lying strictly supine and thought I had a good night's sleep. Nov 30 night.png I've only shown the period from that point on, which shows...

Howdy, Here is my screenshot from 2 nights ago: Night of Nov 29.png No surprise: lots of events. - a huge chunk approx 2230 - 2250 when I was asleep, eventually making me really alert/awake - took a slight brea, went back to sleep, had another couple of events, then was so wired had to get up and re...

Hi, Ugh. I messaged too soon. So, I had given up on the constant 15 pressure by adding EPR, and still didn't sleep great, so went back to what I had felt was pretty good before the sleep tech put me on constant 15: i.e. I went to 11-15 with EPR of 3. And I had 2 really great nights of sleep, with AH...

Hi, I'm only a newbie, but I'm a changes-sleep-positions a gazillion times a night kind of newbie. I have found that the dreamtime mask by Phillips (which has the hose attached near the top of your head like a stem or stalk) means I can move lots and not have my mask come off. Basically with the hos...

Woo-Hoo!!! Big news! 2 nights ago I gave up on the constant 15 pressure (with 3 EPR) which had been what the sleep tech set it to at my 1 wk post-CPAP start follow-up. I reprogrammed it to 11-16 variable pressure and kept the EPR of 3. I woke yesterday morning feeling pretty darn well. And just now ...

Hi, Wow this is a nice big-picture analysis. Some things I noted.....level 3 home sleep study for one thing and it doesn't do sleep status so we don't know if asleep or not. It would be nice to have the original sleep study report to see just how bad things were before cpap was added in terms of OSA...

Hi Pugsy and Khauser, Thanks for these thoughts! I'm pretty sure I'm about to be switched to a different sleep team. I have a key other medical appointment tomorrow and will review the data with that doc. For me dismissing the centrals out of hand seems odd, and also I have clear oscillating pattern...

Hi CPAPTalk Community, Okay, I'm now over 1 week into CPAP therapy. I've got a question about what to do next. Recap: I'm a lean tall guy with apparent OSA on a Level 3 study. I started CPAP and had "truckloads" of sleep-onset apneas (clear airway). That's when I found CPAPTalk and learned how to up...

Howdy, Okay, it seems like I'm making progress. Below is my screenshot from Night 3 - which had a bit of sleep-onset awakening cycles at the beginning and after trying to get back to sleep halfway through the night. Pressure 13-16 and no EPR. Overall, had a pretty good sleep - 7hrs 45 min I believe ...

Aaaaand here's the pic of steady state turning into oscillating: clip (B)5.png I'm not sure what all this means, but those seem to be the three dominant patterns. If tomorrow I see that night 3 is not much different than night 2, I'll try dropping the minimum pressure to 11 and hope I don't have "tr...

Dear Pugsy and Miss Emerita, These are helpful tips. Given I just started this and have a follow-up in person visit with the sleep tech in 4 days, I'm not going to reset the machine, as that would purge my data from my first 3 nights (the two I've shared, and last night which is still not being prov...

So given it appears I have lots of central sleep apnea while on CPAP, yet my Level 3 sleep study showed I was by far mostly obstructive (with only a few central events), this would seem to be treatment-emergent central sleep apnea. My understanding is this will often resolve over time, but not alway...

Okay, I've figured out there's something strange going on with my machine. It's date is set 1 day ahead, and the time is set 2 hours and 21 minutes fast. AND when it provides data, it's not for the just completed night, it's for the night before that. So the image above is from my night 1 (not night...
