Could do with a bit of moral support/commiseration

I used to get hot flashes and night sweats when my apnea was untreated.

This is common among people who have long apneas. The apneas drive your blood pressure up, and your body tries to get it down by eliminating water. Thus, sweat and nocturia.

Glad you are being treated now!

Ah HA! so that's what does that... I had times on my old cpap brick only set to 7 cmH20, where I'd wake up at night all sweaty. Sometimes I slept on a towel because of that. I just figured I was sick or something. I haven't so much had the issue with the new Airsense 10 Autoset at my new higher pressure. I suspected I wasn't getting proper therapy with the old machine as I got older, but never paid enough attention to know there were data capable machines until I found that out in December.
