I wake up with high BP despite using APAP.

Post by king_alvaro » Sun Feb 16, 2014 10:10 am

My blood pressure is usually around 120/70 during the day time while I am awake. But I noticed that as soon as I wake up my blood pressure is 140/90. My pulse is 58. My AHI is usually 0.5 or below. My air leak rate is usually very low. I need to sleep about 8 hours or more if not I don't feel rested. If I sleep 7 hours for sure I don't feel good. Could something be wrong?

How does your data look just before you wake up? Are you having more events? If so what kind? AHI is kind of deceptive if all the events cluster.
