We don't know what you did, tell us what changed in your life Thursday or Friday.

It looks like it's displaying the data in graph mode, either you selected it or you invented it. I don't use Oscar, my machine is too old, thank goodness, "Tanks Rule"

When my crystal ball gets back from the shop I will accept your challenge but until then....not enough information to do anything but make a WAG and I don't do wags.

Obviously something changed to cause an increase in central/CA apneas but as to what....beats the hell out of me and I won't go down the wild ass guess road at all.

Did you try replacing the filters (both disposable and washable) even though you may have done so fairly recently? Sometimes my AHI shoots up and replacing filters fixes it.

Since we are playing "Guess what I did", my guess is you either started using EPR or increased the amount of EPR you wee using.

sorry experts for the game, but I am giddy (and drugged). I won the lottery Friday night and did not buy a ticket, just very lucky to be alive! fell off a ladder 14' while trimming a branch. did a face plant, except broke the fall with my wrists (both broke). ct scan on neck and brain, they say is as good as before the fall! anyway this is my breathing after the trauma. my wife bless her heart cleaned my mask this Tuesday and took a few nights to adjust again. yesterday they set my left wrist in surgery, so really bad night last night. feeling good today, but not a good plan to start the summer. plan to leave cpap settings the same to monitor my progress back to a healed state.

Yikes! But I'm so glad the damage wasn't worse. I hope you heal up quickly and feel like yourself again soon!

Ahhhh....been there and done that but only with one wrist. It sucks.

Between the pain, the meds and all the other stuff you are going though you can expect to have some weird looking reports and probably a lot of either false positive events flags or even some real centrals flagged due to some secondary effects of any pain meds you might be taking for probably at least a couple of weeks.

Don't attempt to change anything in terms of settings because the settings aren't the problem. It will all sort itself out over time.

I know this sucks but at least the only thing that got broke were the wrists and they will heal and other than maybe some annoying after effects that your wife will get to smile and remind you how smart your were :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: you will live.

My husband still does that every time I climb on something I shouldn't which was the cause of my fall and broken wrist and subsequent surgery. He's very quick to remind me just how stupid I was...which is to be expected because if he had done what I did...I would be just as quick to remind him just how stupid he was. :shock:
