I think I'm overly sensitive about these issues. Even though I have been using Cpap regularly for 3 months, I am trying to solve my ongoing foggy head problem. Videotaping myself while sleeping at night, sleeping with a tennis ball on my back, tracking spo2 with a smart watch, using a nose strip. I ...

No, you aren't breathing when those flagged events show up but you weren't sleeping either. None of those flagged events occurred when you were asleep. All are awake/arousal related. I scrolled through all the flow rate. You are pausing your breathing (hold your breath for 10 seconds or more)....th...

Did you spend only 4 hours 22 minutes in bed, or did you sleep part of the night without using your machine?

I slept only 4.5 hours yesterday. Generaly I sleep about 7 hours.

The doctor gave it up due to obstructive sleep apnea. My AHI was 21.5. He said you don't need an Auto CPAP, CPAP is ok for you. If you ask why 7, I do some experiments on pressure and EPR. I tried 7 yesterday with 3 EPR. How did the doctor diagnose the obstructive sleep apnea? How did he decide on ...

Yes, there are times when I wake up on my back, but I don't remember how I woke up this morning. I wish I had filmed myself, I would have seen how I slept during those hours. Let me do it this weekend, it's the best :) But does my sleeping position during this period alone explain my inability to wa...

I am 45 years old with 80kg. height and 170cm weight. Doctor gave me the cpap machine with 8 pressur 5 years ago. But I use the machine for only 4 months.

Hello, please help me get out of this problem. 3 months ago, I bought a new Resmed p10 mask because I blamed the mask I was using before for my foggy head problem in the morning. I have been sleeping with the same mask for 3 months. My AHI value is as good as before, but I cannot feel it physically....

Ok, thank you. I will try this.

Thanks Pugsy, I got it now. So now comes the crucial question. Why am I experiencing these events while trying to fall asleep? Why would a person hold his breath for 15-20 seconds while trying to sleep? These are the durations of the apneas we mentioned that I experience while not sleeping.

So can I ask something? How did you know I wasn't asleep? I am sending an expanded version of my flow chart in the link below. I stopped breathing before the apneas, but how can we understand that this is happening when I am not asleep? Because before all my apneas (this is probably the case for eve...

Thank you for your valuable help. You can find the Sleep HQ link below. When I check the flow rate, I think I am not breathing when those events are marked. The interesting part is why does apnea intensify when I first lie down? Other days are also the same. https://sleephq.com/public/0e300753-f7be-...

So it's very interesting. I look at the duration of apneas one by one. The number of apneas that started 5 minutes after I went to bed is 7 apneas. And it corresponds to a total period of 5 minutes. I went out of one apnea and went into another apnea 5-10 seconds later.

Well, I'm not sure, but it doesn't take too long.
