To follow up on ozij's post, it would be helpful in particular to know the central apnea index from your original sleep study.

By "original" do you mean a sleep study other than the titration study?

Based on your sleep study and the charts you posted it seems to me that the follow-up with the doctor is very important. You have indications of complex sleep apnea or treatment emergent central apnea that may not be properly treated with a CPAP which is why they suggested you come for a follow-up. ...

You'll find written instructions here - the Autoset 10 manual https://www.respshop.com/manuals/ResMed-AirSense-10-for%20her.pdf Page 17 "Adjusting the clinical setting" Do it slowly, not before you're going to bed but rather earlier. You want the Autoset mode, and notice which pressure you're settin...

I watched that video and I'm ready to change the pressure. :D I wouldn't touch the EPR at this point - making more than one change at a time just confuses us. I think 7-10 is a good idea. Make that change, see how you feel, and keep track of you results on OSCAR. Stick to it for 5 nights or so, unl...

Thank you, ozij. As I wrote earlier, the pressure has been fixed at 7 and I can't change it to see if a higher or flexible pressure would help. My question is of there is a correlation between the fixed pressure and experiencing those night sweats. You are undertreated and you have night sweats. Th...

Question 2: We have been turning the machine off of a morning with a single power button press (not holding it down) and have noticed that for quite a while after turning the machine off (up to an hour or so) there is a slight trickle of air flow still coming from the mask, which eventually stops a...

Congratulations, Ana, the last two links let us see your breathing during the night. Here's what I see: You're using a constant pressure of 7. This pressure is low enough to let you snore, and, while you're snoring your breath form also shows signs of partial obstruction (flow limitations) This mean...

And remember to get your S9 card into OSCAR frequently. The S9 saves only 5 nights of detailed data on the card, the rewrites them. If don't read the data within that time period, the details are lost.

The machines used different algorithms. That is, they have different instructions for identifying and responding to you breathing events.
Once you get an SD card you will be able to see what makes the ResMed machine shoot to higher pressures than the Respironics.

I always use chapstick.
That didn't keep CRT from removing a layer of skin from around my lips.
My best solution now is the silicone backed tapes, Medvance or 3M. More expensive, but worth the comfort.

Back when I was using 3M Micropore Paper tape, I would need baby oil - and patience - to remove it.

The cover roll tape works for me but takes a layer off my skin when removing in the morning. Does anyone have suggestions for making removal less painful? Thanks to all.

Wet it with warm water.

That's right. "Dreamwear not [recommended] for dry-eyes patients. Solutions?" Anyhow, tomorrow I expect to get the goggles I ordered to remedy the condition and will report on my experiences Monday morning if the goggles arrive on time. "Corrective lenses?" :-) Instead of replyingy you can simply e...

As a person with dry eyes, I find the subject of the thread misleading.
Made me think this was a mask for dry eyes, while you mean to say it's not.
How about:
