What happened - AHI spike.

Post by Twelve12 » Sun Apr 19, 2020 7:24 am

I’m back with CPAP after not using a long time. I was doing ok for almost a week since starting back. New mask I mostly like. Having some issues with headgear slipping. But then something went awry last night. I struggled with breathing with mask on. After a couple of terrible hours, I took it off. I looked at My Air this morning and AHI was much higher than usual. Unsure what went wrong. This is what I have from My Air.

MyAir just doesn't have the detail required to diagnose problems.

Download OSCAR and post graphs from there.

+1

to the op: experts here (dog slobber is one) will need to see what makes up your sleep apnea. not everyone has the same events making up their ahi.

so the best one can do is make wild ass guesses and that won't help you much.

good luck!
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

Asking "what happened"...without indicating what specific machine, mask, pressure settings, type of events...etc, is like calling an auto repair shop and telling the mechanic my car won't start..and asking "what's the matter with it."

I have my machine and mask info in profile. I will look at OSCAR.
