Consistently getting a lot of Clear Airway alerts on SH

Post by mrshickadance9 » Thu Sep 08, 2016 8:20 pm

I've been using CPAP for about a month now, and I"m feeling amazing vs. how I used to. I know it's working because I am not falling asleep instantly like I used to - it actually takes time to fall asleep now!

With that said, the vast majority of my apnea events are clear airway apneas. The below is a very average looking report for me:

Sorry if that's huge... I can't figure out how to reduce the size...

Does anyone have thoughts on this? It looks like I might be taking deep breaths right before the central apnea. Should I consider reducing my pressure?

Just for the record, a "clear airway apnea" means that a breathing cessation was detected, but no obstruction was detected. The fact that no obstruction was detected doesn't necessarily mean that none occurred.
