I'm starting to feel off again.

Post by SmallCityDave » Sun Aug 24, 2025 3:01 pm

I'm starting to grind my teeth, my mood is off and my knee aches all seem to be consistent (for me) when the cpap is not working right for me, I have a ResMed Airsense 10 Auto.

Please let me know if you'd like additional information.

I have a backache and I'm crabby, but I don't think it's because of my CPAP.

It seems to me that every now and then, your pressure is too low, and a bunch of events pushes it up - but that may be waking you.

The first thing I'd do is get rid of the ramp.
I would then consider a higher minimal pressure - your pressure is fluctuating in response to obstructiion (apnea or flow limitations) and those obstructions, or budding obstructions that make the pressure rise could be disrupting your sleep as well.

Make the change gradually, give each pressure change a few days.

Thank you!

I will start making changes tonight, any thoughts of the ideal minimum pressure should be?

Do you have RLS?

Which drugs/dosages/timing do you use?

Thank you for that.

No RLS and no medication.
