I hope you choose to stay, instead. Also, you can go back and edit your own posts, if you want to.ravenous28 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 2:12 pmI know... your right. It does hurt my feelings because now I worry the fan comment will be taken seriously by some newb on a cpap and they will suffer even more now with their osa condition. I asked the forum moderator to hopefully delete this post and my account for the stupid things I said. I won’t post anything more. I’m certainly not qualified to telling anyone anything or comment about cpap or osa. Thanks for pointing this out, seriously. No harsh feelings, take care everyone and good luck with your osa please consult your doctor. As for me, I will work directly with my sleep doctor to hopefully get sound advise. Again sorry everyone if you misunderstood what I was saying about the 4cm atleast in regards with what I was trying to do with my dental device. I didn’t mean it the way it was pointed out. Online is stuff is great to finding things out but it’s also dangerous. I see this clearly now.palerider wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 1:44 pmI never said you were stupid. I said that the fan thing was a stupid thing to say, and yes, some newbies that know nothing yet *may* be mislead by what you said.ravenous28 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 12:54 pmThat’s not what I’m suggesting at all. I would think most people should have better common sense then that. You’re right though I fear the damage might already be done now and someone’s going to think this about a fan. Yes I’m stupid please don’t go out and think a bedside fan is going to treat your osa if you were prescribed 4cm of pressure. If it makes the forum moderator feel better or anyone else, please delete my posts and comments and account. Please consult your doctor first before listening to anyone online tell you how to treat your osa or play around with settings, especially me. Again sorry for offending anyone here and sorry what i said, Goodbye.
Things that may mislead people that don't know any better tend to get squashed fast and hard here. That's one of the reasons that this forum is so good for getting good, reliable information.
Sorry if that hurts your feelers.

Re: Setting CPAP in neutral to evaluate untreated apnea?
anecdotally (maybe not best to write but just for the technical portion of this program) as Pugsy and palerider said, 4-5 cm H2O does provide some benefit. For me, for example, for some reason there was a period of time where my apap was rarely if ever going higher than 5 with a nasal mask. Not sure why that happened or if it's even worth it to try and figure that out, but even with pressure of 4-5, I was able to drop all my blood pressure medication in a month. went from 150-170/110 to 120/80.
So low pressures definitely still have a splinting effect! I ended up needing per a titration study about 14-15 cm H2O with a bilevel pap, but even going from nothing to 4-5 cm H2O had a tremendous effect when I first started apap.
