Will I ever get a better AHI? Best is 2.2 or so?

[izzati]

Daily AHI sometimes depend on your sleep position.
Some people had less AHI at lateral position
Like me,i have more ahi on supine position
And when i propped up during sleep,AHI will be less

My doctor once told me i am at my best if i sleep right lateral position.

Probably your AHI of 2.2 means(lowest for you) occurs when you sleep at your best position

But still anything below 5 is good providing you feel ok.

Your pressure is fixed at 8.....It will always be at 8 except at start up. Actually, you might get better results if you increase it to 9. OR...Change to Auto mode and set your pressure at 7 minimum and 10 maximum.

Thanks but I did say in my post that on the first one it was APAP 9 to 16, and on the second APAP 7 to 8 (7 is what the doctor thought I needed) - for some reason SleepyHead is saying it was CPAP 8 in this case but it wasn't. Regardless of what min or max I set, it always seems to spike to the top.

if it isn't set to cpap 8 (have you verified?) then it's constantly trying to go to a higher pressure all night long... or sleepyhead is misreading the data.

Yes Palerider, It was definitely set to APAP 7 to 8. I'm changing it a lot to try to find a good setting and I changed it from another APAP setting to 7 to 8 for that day, and then 7 to 10 last night. To change to CPAP I have to change another setting which I didn't do.

I've previously mentioned problems where the data sometimes gets merged into the same day so I have two sets of lines and two sets of data in the events (ie events at - say - 1:02... 2:10.... 3:02... etc then repeating the next night's 1:15... 2:33... 3:03... etc)

Thanks Izzati. Yes, I'm wondering if its to do with position. I'll try a second pillow tonight. I also suffer from lots of movement at night (my partner tells me anyway).

I certainly feel a lot better than I did before treatment, no question. But not 'perfect' and just see a lot of people getting 1 or less and just wonder if there's something else going on (maybe the restlessness?)

Thanks

This is last night's result.

It was set to APAP 7 to 10. I've just verified this so there is no doubt. You can see from the graph it takes an hour to go fro 7 to 10 and then stays at 10. It was not set to CPAP 10 as the report says.

By the way, all the times are off by 1 hour and always are. The time is set correctly on the machine and the timezone is correctly set to 1 (CET - Spain). My laptop is also set correctly to CET.

feel encouraged to upload your data: https://www.dropbox.com/request/JvMP52lUNuPJ5Bdf6EXo

Thanks, I have done. I've export all data at detail level to a csv. Is that right?

[palerider]

no, sorry, a csv is useless, I need the raw data from your SD card, straight out of the machine.

zip up the entire contents of the SD card, and upload that, please.

[johnrrr]

Ah sorry, uploaded. Thanks.

what days are you seeing this on? (this is why it's good for me to have a copy of your data.)

Palerider - got your PM, no problem. I can't reply to the PM though as the confirmation code graphic just isn't loading so I can't type the numbers in! It'll be later today but happy to help.

sometimes I have to reload it several times before the letters show up

Thanks in advance.

I'm not seeing it on the daily chart. are you seeing it on the events tab on the left detail panel?

you might try going to the menu, file/rebuild cpap data. perhaps the imported data got corrupted.

I can't see the rebuild option on my version (Mac 0.9.6-Testing OpenGL).

Here's a graph of the 17th Feb



And a screenshot of the events form that day

[palerider]

it's better if you post the screenshot, not the printout, it's more informative.

here's what I'm seeing:


I suggest you should get the current snapshot that was posted today:
viewtopic/t110788/SleepyHead-Development-News.html

0.9.6 is rather old, and there may be fixed bugs, plus a data rebuild option
