I've noticed that my average AHI went from ~0.9, to consistently over 4 for the last week or so (and I've been feeling tired and extra brain foggy), so I loaded up oscar and imported everything. It looks like my events are pretty low throughout most of the night, but I'll randomly have a period of high events. I don't seem to be experiencing mask leaks (is it possible to have an oral leak without it registering?), so I'm trying to figure out why.
Lots of events before waking

Re: Lots of events before waking
You may be experiencing sleep-transition central apneas. These occur as the body's neurochemical systems manage the complex hand-off between waking systems and sleeping systems (and vice versa). I don't know why they would have started appearing just recently.
I'm curious to know why your settings include PS of 6, which is on the high side. Do you know?

Re: Lots of events before waking
I'm not sure, I had a combination sleep study/titration (AHI of like ~45) and that's what they landed on.Miss Emerita wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 12:31 pmYou may be experiencing sleep-transition central apneas.

Re: Lots of events before waking
Do you feel comfortable changing your settings? If you do, you might try reducing your PS to 5. This might help to stabilize your breathing. Or not. It would be an experiment, if you’re OK trying it. It can’t hurt you.
