First day i slept on my bipap machine.. felt like crap all day afterwards

Im not sure what Im looking at. I feel like a monkey trying to solve a math equation. All I know is the day i slept on it i felt like i was hungover all day afterwards. Way worse than i feel on normal sleep. Im pretty sure I have UARS or OSA but Im not sure. I can never sleep at any sleep studys or home sleep studies so my ahi is always below 5 but i cant breathe while i sleep. I snore alot. I wake up constantly gasping and feel dead tired 24/7. I bought a bipap resmed vauto and set it to auto setting of min 9 ipap/6 epap. It took me like 2 weeks of failing at fall asleep on it until finally this day where i slept twice on it somewhere in between the times shown. I was happy i fell asleep on it until i realized how crappy i felt the rest of the day. I was slurring my words. I could barely think. It was horrible.

Anyways maybe the settings aren't right or whatever.. ive been scared to use it again until somebody could help me out with the OSCAR data or whatever. thank you..

"Slept with"... I thought you literally somehow managed to sleep ON the machine and clicked just to see how that happened! :lol:

Hi hearthstone25,

Instead of posting here, why not post in your original therapy thread? That way, we can keep track of what's happening with you from the beginning.

Also, check out how to post graphics in my signature below.
