1st Week on CPAP

Post by Cali929 » Mon Apr 14, 2025 12:24 pm

Hi all, I have been on CPAP for a week now and although i'm still having trouble with mask (fitting, comfort etc), I have been using it consistantly and my AHI has gone from 52.5 to less than 5.
Unfortunately, I still feel tired and fatigued during the day.
I am using the Airsense 11 with heated tube and AirFit F40 atm.

Starter Settings - ResMed AirSense 11 Auto
Mode: CPAP
Pressure: 8.00 cmH2O
Climate Control: Auto
EPR: Off (It was on for Day 1 at a setting of 1 and I turned it off before 2nd night)
Mask: Pillows
Ramp: Off
Smart Start: Off
Smart Stop: On

Give it time for the therapy to kick in.

Your numbers look good so be optimistic and patient.

My afternoon fatigue faded away to nothing after a short while.
