Re: Low AHI, lots of fatigue

A belated happy anniversary! It’s good you’re working with your doctor on the meds. You might want to taper your caffeine a bit, in case you’re less tolerant of it than you used to be.

Re: Low AHI, lots of fatigue

I wish I could say there are changes to your settings that will make you sleep better, but if there are any, I'm not seeing what they would be.

CPAP Settings Help

I have been using my Philips Dreamstation 1 for close to a year. (hopefully getting a dreamstation 2 soon.) I normally stay at 1-2 AHI, but the last few nights it has gone up. When I am above 2 AHI, I am exhausted. Are there any settings I can tweak to improve my CPAP experience? I am already using ...
