My first post here, but frequent info gatherer!
A bit of background on my OSA.
I was diagnosed with OSA in Jan 19 with an AHI of 29 and put on CPAP therapy. I would love to say that since then all things have been going great guns, though that would be a lie. Truthfully it has been a bit of a rollercoaster journey and if anything it has been a case
of trial and error, trying to get rid of excessive aerophagia (wife says she doesn't know what's worse, the snoring or flatulence). The terrible wind I get is quite painful, so I seeked this great place out to try and help with the symptoms and after some adjustments to my min pressure
and max pressure managed to almost get rid of the aerophagia.
Current potential scary issue.
For whatever reason, my AHI's and large leaks have been a lot higher over the past few weeks, so I got a new mask (UK NHS is brilliant and i'm fortunate that it hasn't cost me a penny), which has been great so far. Last nights sleep though showed an abnormal report of Cheynes Stokes Respiration and after looking back
on all my daily reports using OSCAR, I have noted another CSR from 5 nights ago, which to be honest has me a little worried and concerned. These are the only two events of this kind throughout my use of CPAP therapy. I have included the screenshots and hope someone can shed some light on these. Both these events happened when my AHI was unusually high, at least for me anyway.
I have included some info on the machine and settings I am using below -
Machine - Resmed Airsense 10
Mask - Quattro Air
Min pressure - 8
Max pressure - 17
It should be noted that the dates and time is all messed up, due to me attempting to change the time to the correct time (It wouldn't go back for whatever reason and kept going forward, so would also be great if anyone had any info regarding how to set the resmed back to the right time and date it would be a great help). Thanks for all your help on this.
