Brain Fog & Tired

Could you post a 2-minute close up of the flow rate graph, right around midnight?

Yesterday Slorwriter advised some changes to my pressure settings. Here is last night with those settings.12-22.JPG

well, we can certainly see that your ahi has gone down dramatically! so that's good news.

more importantly, how are you sleeping? are you feeling better upon wake up?

this my take some time until your brain and body can feel better. so be on the lookout for any improvement you may feel.

good luck!

I've never done a close up before. Hope this is what you asked for.

Concerning how am I sleeping and feeling.
I go to sleep around 11:30 and get up around 7am. At first I feel pretty rested, but after a cup of coffee and a little breakfast I start to get brain fog. Some days are worse than others, but after an hour or so I come around.

interesting. well, keep an eye on it and see if you slowly improve. if you want to be a complete nerd about it, you could keep a journal. write down every morning how you feel before you check your numbers. bet you'll find yourself slowly trending towards feeling better.

wish i knew more to help you with the other. but that's much better handled by slowriter.

That's a start, but you posted an 8+ minute duration. See at top left?

Also, I don't need the left sidebar on that view.

Actually, now that I think about, a minute would be even better. Something like this.

Thanks for your instruction!

I was just curious what the shape of your breaths look like; whether they are rounded (like the example I posted), or not. I actually can't tell, but you can look for yourself if you zoom in further.

In any case, you might experiment with still higher PS and see what impact it has; both on the quality of your sleep, and also on your AHI.

What I'm unsure of is the titration protocol when you have variable PS, as you do. But my suggestion was pretty conservative.

FYI, the titration protocol for BiPAP machines is included in this document. So their suggested starting points for PS min and max are 4 and 8. I have no personal experiences to compare against this, but might be helpful to know?

Thank you so much! Here is another graph expanded more. Looks like mine is a little spikey?? Have a Merry Christmas

Yes, and so would support my suggestion you should experiment with higher PS. Give it a try and see what happens?

Maybe even follow the suggestion from respironics on min and max?

Zoom in more, about half that number of breaths showing.

Still trying!

What happened to the rest of the breaths?

I hope I got my graph correct this time. Also I have attached last nights readings which are from the information you sent. Thanks again!!! What could have caused the OA's ?
