I was not expecting success (at least numbers wise) on my first night, but lo and behold:
Looking over my flow-rate waveform, I see no signs of clusters of periodic breathing or CSR, no apneas, and no major flow limitations or hypopneas in sight. This is my second smiley ever - I managed my first ever smiley a week ago on the VPAP auto, but that was a shorter sleep, and had plenty of PB waveform shapes and fairly obvious flow limitations.. Last nights waveform is rather boring to look at in comparison. (The first two hidden sessions are also zero, I was just up tinkering on the computer getting used to it)
I still feel a bit crappy/foggy this morning, but that was a much later night than usual.
As for what this says about my original diagnosis of Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea, well, I now have serious doubts that was entirely correct.
I'll have a better idea if/when the morning headaches start to lift.
I've been using this opportunity to start fixing some VPAP pressure display bugs in SleepyHead while I've got the chance..
I now have my head wrapped around how all the different BiLevel/ASV models work.. Including those with variable EPAP.
All it took was a little hands on..
I guess this was a bit of a brag post with my first full night smiley, but I'd really like to hear from anyone else who's had similar experiences with ASV..
If you had them, did you eventually get a reduction in morning headaches?
