I'm 68yo male, and after a taking an at-home sleep study was prescribed an CPAP for UARs with mild oxygen desaturation.
I had problems with initial setup with exhales ( felt like a couldnt breathe) so I changed EPR to full time, EPR level 3, after which i was able to sleep much better.
Inoticed quite a number of Central Apneas which led me to back down the EPR to 2.
Still seeing many CAs, so I'm wondering if these are machine induced or not.
I cant tell from my sleep study if I had any CAs or not - maybe the at-home study doesn't measure those?
Not feeling much different after using CPAP at this point, though i know sometimes it takes awhile to make a difference.
7 day AHI average is 5.23 which I would like to lower if possible.
Any recommendations for changing any settings to reduce CAs and AHI?
Attached a few days of Oscar screenshots.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
regards
Jeff
