After my first 6 days . . .

[mandrew]

I just finished my first 6 days on cpap. My AHI has gone from 67 per hour to 3! My BP has gone down steadily, and has dropped about 10 points systolic and diastolic. Now I have to see if my doctor will make any change in medication. I use my FFM at 14 every night, all night. I am surprised at how quick the results are, but very happy. this is a life saver/changer for me! BTW, I love this new Resmed Airsense 10 Auto!

Good for you! Sounds like you are off to a great start. Please keep posting. You are encouraging a lot of people, me included.

Great results. Before you make any BP meds changes it's worth remembering that some of today's meds do more than just work on BP.

What is your current BP? If your not hypertensive/hypotensive then the meds are doing their job along with your OSA therapy.

Good numbers. But.... (always a but... ) how are you feeling? Do you see any improvement?

An update . . . I had vertigo before cpap. I felt like I was walking on 2" of sponge rubber all the time. It is now almost gone! I feel much better, and have more energy. I am 63, and my BP ran about 140/88 on meds before cpap. Now It averages about 128/72. I do take a water pill, and my water retention is now less also. I want my family Dr. to see the difference, and make any changes accordingly. About the only episodes that I have at night now seem to be central apneas, so the machine is doing its work well.
