better with BIPAP, less events per hour

Post by joshdog » Thu Jul 26, 2018 2:51 pm

I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea between 60 to 70 events per hour. I have been on BIPAP for over three weeks now and still have mask leak problems but my events per hour has gone down from over 60 per hour to about 20. I see some CPAP members talking about 5, sounds great to me.

Please add your equipment to your profile like I have mine.

Hopefully you will have a machine that is compatible with SleepyHead Software

Post a typical night detailed report in the format shown in this thread and let's see what that AHI is composed of along with settings and see if there is anything that can be done to get your AHI down to a more acceptable number.
