My First Week

Post by FatBruno » Mon Jan 24, 2022 9:58 pm

Though I am still struggling to keep a seal on my mask, I am finishing my first week on my BiPap (AirCurve 10).

My sleep study recorded 77 AHI.

So far, I am averaging about 6-7 AHI in my first week.

Is this a good result? Is it a problem that it's not lower? My doctor has me at the max setting - 25cpw, so I can't go any higher. Will this improve over time, or should I expect this to basically not get any better?

The AirCurve will only hit the max when the situation requires it.

Unless there are issues like aerophagia, lowering the max just prevents the machine from doing its job.

For the first week the AHI is not bad. It may improve as your body become acclimate to the circumstances.

BTW Please keep your questions in one single topic even if you feel the question is not related to the topic. They are really all related to your therapy. You can additionally edit the topic title to reflect the question.

Doing so makes it easier to keep track of your situation for the community gurus.
