First SH Results

RE: First SleepyHead Results
Will give that a try, Sleeprider.  Last night I changed my pressure back to what the doctor had prescribed, 8-CPAP with no flex, and AHI went to 9.58.  I had also upgraded my firmware yesterday as well.  I really like the Dreamwear FFM but am concerned about leaks.

Nothing to worry about leaks they look fine unless they are disturbing your sleep

RE: First SleepyHead Results
Good chart! Pressure is too low. Did you have a titration study?

RE: First SleepyHead Results
Yes, I had a study back in July.  That was what they came back.  I did forget that they had a c-flex of 3 set too, but I don't think that is going to make any difference.  I was using the P-10 nasal mask for that test.  I changed from it to the FFM since it appeared I was having alot of mouth breathing.

When you change to a FFM often a bit more pressure is needed I would raising pressure by 1cm and see how it goes for a few nights

RE: First SleepyHead Results
Most of the night my breathing looks like what is in the attached chart.  I'm back to wearing my Dreamwear Full Face mask, and a medical type collar which is more rigid than the Calera collar.  It looks like I'm having some sort of obstruction on exhale.  Should I raise my pressure, currently at Fixed 11, or fiddle with the EPR settings?

That's what a mouth leak looks like. Problem is your not showing any leaks plus your using a FFM.  Very strange looking.

RE: First SleepyHead Results
It’s strange to me too.  I’m beginning to think I have some sort of physical blockage. I’ve even experienced a clunking type of feeling at times, but only when I’m using my cpap. It’s weird. I’m raising my pressure tonight from 11 to 12 to see if it helps.

RE: First SleepyHead Results
During this event, you seem to have found a way to slip the bottom of the mask to your upper lip. "Blockage" does hot appear like this. When looking at a flow chart, inspiration will equal expiration unless there is a leak or shunt in the circuit. Here you are breathing in nasally and out orally. Good call by Walla.
