First night on APAP. Need some advice.

Post by billypilgrim » Fri May 11, 2018 11:26 am

Hiya!

Thanks for the warm welcome yesterday. I survived my first night of treatment, though I'm pretty beat today. My Dreamstation came set at the 4-20 range, which from reading here I know isn't great. I've adjusted it to 7-12 based on the Sleepyhead data posted here. Can someone guide me to make sure I'm on the right track there?

Sleepyhead data is here: https://imgur.com/a/6TaDVd0

Thanks, LSAT. Wasn't sure if I was jumping the gun by adjusting the pressure on night two.

Not if it was set to 4-20.
