I now have a new Cpap machine (DreamStation) that gives me my AHI. The pressure was at 9 when I started and was changed to 10. No improvement. Was set to 12. AHI went down but my eyes were so dry and itchy that I thought I had encountered a cat (allergy). Headaches went along with the itchy and sore eyes. Pressure back to 10. Eyes good. No headaches. AHI 11.7
Any comments most welcomed

Re: Pressure issues
Air leaking into your eyes is a mask fit issue..not usually the fault of the pressure. You may need the higher pressure to get the AHI down. AHI of 11 means that you stopped breathing 70-80 times during the night./suse wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 5:14 pmI now have a new Cpap machine (DreamStation) that gives me my AHI.

Re: Pressure issues
Any reason you're on plain Cpap vs Auto?
