If you are talking about the arousal that happens after the funky part of the graph, that's easy: Super large leak caused the machine to not be able to track your breathing very well. So it looks like the machine just "gave up" trying to track your breathing. Any chance you've got SmartStart turned ...

...arousals. Point of Order, according to Da Rules, if the sleep disturbance lasts 3-14 seconds, it's an arousal. More than that it's Wake. Thanks Nocibur. Remember: I'm just a silly math professor so I don't know all those official rules (yet). But I do always appreciate it when you do point out s...

I've used SleepHQ before and I didn't notice any function that would tell you if a particular breathing pattern causes an arousal. You got one now. I have no idea what you're trying to say here. I believe Nocibur simply means that if you post some data on Sleep HQ, he and other long term posters ca...

I breathe both ways - nose sometimes, mouth sometimes. I have chronic, untreatable sinus issues -- allergies to multiple things, which would take far more money than I have to figure out. Sounds to me like it would be well worth your time (and a bit of money in the form of co-pays) to figure out if...

I want to file a complaint about this with Aeromexico. I've read a lot of references online about the rules for traveling with CPAP, but I'd like to see the actual regulations. Can anybody point me to the right source? The only thing I could find in a quick search of the official Department of Tran...

Ch1lly. It's midterms week and I'm a college professor. That's why I haven't responded sooner. Hi Robysue, Firstly thank you for taking the time to reply to me, I'm grateful. In terms of pressure I have tried everything from 10-16 (all fixed pressures). I've answered your questions below each one in...

Out of curiosity: Back during the pandemic did wearing a mask when you were out in public bother you in the sense of making you feel like you couldn't breathe right? If so, that was probably caused by some of the same things triggering your problems with trying to breathe normally with the CPAP mas...

is anybody seeing this? Your data is showing up, so yes we can see it. You started the thread with: BACKGROUND I first got diagnosed with sleep apnea back in 2019 with a 24 AHI. I tried a CPAP but it just made things worse even though the AHI was lower. I gave it about 6 months and then gave up. I ...

It's been a minute since I last checked in. I have been using the CPAP religiously since I got mine, and it has helped a LOT compared to my untreated sleep. My AHI was 22 (mostly hypopneas) and it was wrecking my life... Now my avaerage is in the 2-5 AHI range, so a big improvement. But, I am still...

Here, I was able to zoom in on OSCAR so you can see better. These CSA events are common on each day that I look. They appear to always happen around the same time of the night. I'd like you to zoom in and post the zoomed in waveflow , along with the pressure , flow limitation , and snoring data whe...

Can you post this data at SleepHQ? Or alternatively, can you zoom in on the period 2:15 and 3:15 so we can see what those CAs actually look like? Finally, can you tell us what your diagnostic sleep study said about your sleep? In particular was any said about central apneas? And did you have a forma...

Now for the troublesome stuff that follows the end of the ramp period. Zooming in on that we get this (marked-up) picture: https://i.imgur.com/l9XoWsz.png You clearly feel into a (short) continuous sleep just as the ramp was over and the pressure increased from 4cm to 10cm. And you clearly transitio...

If I did everything right, this link should go to my data at SleepHQ: https://sleephq.com/public/d0b921a0-2fbf-4983-904f-041691a85b47 Now to look at that first troublesome part of the night when the ramp was still on. Zooming in at SleepHQ, this is what we see: https://i.imgur.com/vSa5ARq.png First...

If I did everything right, this link should go to my data at SleepHQ: https://sleephq.com/public/d0b921a0-2fbf-4983-904f-041691a85b47 The link for SleepHQ works. Thanks for providing it. Here are the machine settings that I can see when looking at your data: 1) Mode of use is AutoSet with a pressur...

That particular feeling of there not being enough air in the mask to get a good, deep inhalation is commonly associated with using the machine at very low pressures---i.e. using a ramp with a beginning pressure of 4 cm or having the min pressure set at 4cm. This makes sense for why I wake up after ...
