My sleep dr wrote a script for- ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet CPAP machine, CPAP pressure: 6 cm of water
DME gave me a ResMed AirSense CPAP and said that I cannot have AutoSet because it's a set amount of 6 not a range.
According to the MyAir site the cpap has kept my AHI below 1 every night since then, although I don't feel much better.
Recently my daughter was prescribed a ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet and I used it a few times. It seems that my pressure is all over the place. How can they say to have it set at 6 all night when I went from 6 all the way to 10 (the max pressure it was set for).
I have an appointment with my sleep dr and I want to ask him to change the script with a pressure range so I can have the AutoSet machine. Which sleepyhead charts should I bring with me to convince him I need a pressure range? I don't think he's going to be too hard to convince since that's what his original script was for anyway.
I'm always amazed that my AHI was 42 (and supine ahi was 72) and it's been under 1 consistently with only a pressure of 6. But I am wondering if I'd feel better if I had the autoset machine.
