I had a night with a PTB around 95, and I thought that maybe I was starting to get it licked and then the next night it was in the 50'. I've been on for nearly 5 months and I haven't seen any overall improvement in my PTB's and those two days are fairly recent. So I'm not saying that your PTB's arent getting better, I guess I'm just saying that they may or may not get better. At least, I think in my case whatever is causing the PTB's is still there and the machine is just helping to manage it.Kody wrote:I have a question regarding Patient Triggered Breaths. Lately I've noticed mine have been getting better and better, without the huge dips I used to see. My AHI's have been improving also, and I haven't adjusted the pressure yet as I'm meeting with the Sleep Dr. next week. I think I remember someone saying it takes time for your body to get used to breathing with the ASV and to not fight it. So would this be the reason for the improvement in the PTB's, like the machine is teaching my body to breath on a more regular basis?
Below is a much better than average night, as I forced myself to sleep on my side most of the night, but the 99.9 was what really caught my eye.
Thanks for any insight on the PTB question.
Nevertheless, I do hope yours continues like that!
