First I would like to say how appreciative I am that there is a place like this that I can come to for advice and support.
I just turned 40 and after 5 years of waking up gasping for air almost every night I finally decided it was time to try an xPAP machine. Two of my close family members are already on them and reporting good results. I am not overweight and consider myself in good shape as I jog regularly. Last night I used a machine for the first time. I have the ResMed AirCurve 10 Auto and my current prescription is for auto mode with 6 - 25 and PS 4.
I am a little confused because most of the events in OSCAR are clear airway events when I thought they would be obstructions. Does that mean I suffer from central apnea instead of obstructive apnea?
My AHI was in the 12s after the first night. Isn't that a little high while using the machine? Are there any settings I can try changing that might bring that number down when I try it again tonight? I have attached my OSCAR data.
I appreciate the help.
