We’re talking about the results of one night of study, and maybe a different night to find the right pressure. I would really like to know this. It seems everyone who is on this forum was had to make adjustments and some of them are very serious. One would be tempted to say that those who are not one this forum are getting along very good. Well someone has to explain the 60% failure rate of CPAP therapy!
So far I believe I'm doing pretty well. I had a sleep study and was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, 35x an hr the Dr.prescribed a pressure of 9 after the second study for titration. So far I haven't gone above 2.4 in the one month I've been on it and mostly it is below 1.5. Most of the ones I have are centrals which I'm told may lessen after a few weeks. I hope the numbers stay low like this.
