Afternoon Napping Again

Post by pemery » Tue Nov 26, 2019 4:43 am

My ahi displayed on my old Resmed S9 Elite reads between 5 and 7 most nights, but now I'm having a 3 o'clock nap again. Does this mean that I need to increase my pressure?

5 to 7 is higher than it should be, but not knowing your pressures (?) it's hard to comment. And there can be many other factors in your life affecting things... other medical conditions, meds, wt. gain (even a little can make a diff), etc. More info would be helpful.

Without knowing what else your machine might be reporting it's hard to say it's something as simple as "more pressure".
The kind of events you are having is important. More pressure doesn't fix central apneas.
Might be nice to know if your leak rate is well managed. Lots of large leak time can allow more events to happen.

That's a pretty bad ahi, you probably do need more pressure,bit without seeing charts, we can't know.
