I've been using an ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset, DreamAir Nasal mask for almost two weeks now, and behind the scenes have been reading a ton of posts, tweaked a few things here and there, but not yet finding consistency. It is great that there are so many folks here to support each other.
My prescription was 5/14 with EPR 3. I'm running manual humidity at 5 after experiencing dry mouth. I'm no longer using the ramp feature.
Last night I went to bed at 10, the power went out at 12:30 approx. and back on a little before 1:00. I woke up at 5, and went to the bathroom. At that point I felt good, even thought it was later in the morning, but after seeing the time went back to bed. From 5 to 6 I alternated between being on my back and being on my left side. What I find curious is that I have a cluster of CA's during this period where I don't feel like I'm asleep at all. Additionally, looking at the pressure, the ResMed doesn't increase the pressure to give me more flow (at least that's my interpretation).
Most nights my AHI runs 5 or 6. Approx. 3.5 are CAs. Last night seems to be an anonomaly so looking for some real interpretation of the data if possible. The only slight tweak I had last night was I loosened the strap on the back of my head slightly because I was experiencing some discomfort under my nose (which I understand is common for the first few weeks of therapy).
I have tried to attach the Ocscar generated screenshot but its 878 kb, which exceeds the 700kb limit. I've reviewed the Attachments wiki but not seeing what I need to do to correct this. If someone can help me with that I will post the image right away.
Thanks so much!
The best way to know if a central is real or not is to look at your tidal volume. This is not an absolute rule but in general, if you see a big jump in tidal volume right before the CA event, it usually means you were awake or you woke up.
Incredible.
I have so much to learn!
