Re: Events per hour has increased
Change the mode first; then use the settings I gave you. Any chance your doctor could work with you on changing the timing of your diuretic pills?

Re: RemStar 560p APAP vs BiPAP
The ST machine has been recalled, and in any case, an ST machine is a very different beast from your PAP machine. (I'm not sure, but I think your current machine has been recalled too, if it's a REMstar machine.) https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/respiratory-devices/recalled-philips-ventilators-bi...

Re: Apnea Events Still High After Titration Study Help Needed Lowering Events
Thanks for posting the titration-study report and the Oscar charts. In your original sleep study, what was the break-down of your AHI (obstructive apnea, central apnea, hypopnea)?

Re: getting healthy
Welcome! A couple of thoughts about your question. You're going to want to treat your sleep apnea even if it has no effect at all on your mental state. Chronic apnea can increase your risks of several serious physical diseases. Many people without your diagnoses find that once their apnea is well tr...

Re: Help analyzing Oscar waveforms
The resolution of the image isn't great, but from what I can see these look fine. What is it about them that concerns you?
