Good to know. I ordered a roll and am waiting for it.

Two thumbs up to trying SleepHQ. It works great for sharing.

You've got me thoroughly confused. This is the night of May 8th. https://sleephq.com/public/4d1b5b83-9f83-4cbe-ae54-69fd7f1fbd46 These are the settings for that night: Mask Pillows Mode APAP Pressure min 7.0 cmH2O Pressure max 14.0 cmH2O EPR level 3 cmH2O Humidity level 5 Ramp pressure 6 cmH2O Ramp...

Well, after this I just had to measure. I can fill to the full line without overflowing if I am very careful, but it still does not hold 380ml. Fortunately, it holds enough for me as long as I don't have any big leaks.

Curious, what mask did you decide to use instead?

I gotta a bunch of stuff on my plate today. So no time to go into much detail at all. Sorry. Stuff related to my late mother's estate that got dumped on my plate to handle. I have explained how to tell the difference multiple times in the past. Here's a thread that I happen to have handy. https://w...

I would go back to when you weren't screwing around with the settings. Back to what seemed to be working well for you and you were feeling good. I like this plan! I have never been feeling good, but I feel better than I did without the CPAP, that's for sure. I'm not going to do what the sleep nurse...

Stick to what you had on May 8th. Take a week to just concentrate on sleeping. You're spending at least half the night with no flow limitations - no matter what your pressure. Your breathing, when the pressure is close to 8 looks great. Your flow limitation are not waking you up - which is Lanky Le...

I don't have time to look at all those SleepHQ reports but I did scroll through the May 4 report. Probably at least 85% of the flagged events you weren't asleep when they got flagged. You may not remember the arousal but it happened and your breathing reflects it. Lots of arousal/awake breathing sh...

Well, my AHI is 8 and I'm getting a new cpap machine.

My former RDI was 15.3 so they think my apnea has improved.

Looking for a new sleep doctor to purchase machine and set it up.

Congrats on getting a machine! Be sure to come back here for help with settings and such.

Here's some stuff from SleepHQ Trend data: https://sleephq.com/public/6a8d9ee7-3159-4cb9-9a60-e2234d7be213 Last several days: https://sleephq.com/public/4d1b5b83-9f83-4cbe-ae54-69fd7f1fbd46 https://sleephq.com/public/4fe70036-4091-4c0e-8025-4f07b7c4fa5e https://sleephq.com/public/3debe527-c7f6-4bb8-...

So, if the machine thinks it's a central, does it ignore the event? These machines can't treat or deal with central apneas unless you have one of the special machines like the ASV. Your machine can't do anything with central apneas so it won't even try. More pressure won't/can't force you to breath...

This is a bit of a tangent, but I wonder about this. For some reason I overslept, right through my dawn clock and woke feeling very anxious, like the bad old days before CPAP when I woke with extreme, debilitating anxiety every morning. I looked at my chart. It shows erratic breathing, a central, an...

Yup, only BCBS can give a definitive answer about BCBS.

FYI: My insurance let me re-try twice without much trouble, not even a new sleep test. My provider seemed to know what to file, basically that the machine was medically necessary, I believe.

Maybe my OSCAR needs updating. I will ask one of my millennials about that, whichever I see first! Or maybe I should wait for the one with the Mac.
