Re: New APAP user without sleep study looking for advice
The pressure pulse events don't mean anything so ignore them for now. It's just the machine trying to figuring out what is going on with what it senses is happening with the airway. Pressure pulses are used to help distinguish open airway events from collapsed airway events. Flow limitations...19 i...

Re: New APAP user without sleep study looking for advice
When you are having prolonged times with difficulty falling asleep just reach over and turn the machine off and then right back on again. This will show up in the graphs as a break in therapy and make it easy to know that anything flagged around those breaks in therapy you were awake and not asleep...

Re: New APAP user without sleep study looking for advice
Thank you. That sounds like useful advice!
Also, I'm not sure if anyone knows, but after you insert a memory card into your CPAP and it has detected it (I have a Philips REMStar Auto A-Flex), do you need to do anything more or will it start recording on to it automatically?

Re: New APAP user without sleep study looking for advice
Where do you live? Unless your stomach issues are horrible...yes, keep the current settings and don't go increasing the pressure right now. Did you turn on A Flex exhale relief? If not, turn it on and set it to 2 and see how that does with the belly issues. Thank you so much for the quick response....

New APAP user without sleep study looking for advice
Hello, I've been having terrible sleep apnea like symptoms for a year (exhaustion, headaches, sleep deprivation despite number of hours slept). I originally intended to get a sleep study done but that's really difficult to do at the moment due to the Covid situation and because where I live there's ...
