Good Progress
After almost year of giving up the booze, and losing 15lbs (25 more to lose) I went from an AHI of 49 and oxygen levels down in the low 70's to todays screenshot.
I am still using the rented CPAP/pressure 11 most nights.
Last night I used My new APAP to see how I am doing and if my pressure needs are dropping.
How will I know if I need Cpap anymore? Looks like I am still needing some pressure. I really don't want to spend the $$ on another sleep study.
RE: Good Progress
If you note the max pressure, it is still going up over 8, so I think you should keep using it.
Note: I'm an epidemiologist, not a medical provider.
RE: Good Progress
if the machine is changing pressure throughout the night, then it is still doing it's job to prevent/control apneas. It is not how high it needs to go, it is all about does it still need to change pressure. I suppose you could change to CPAP mode with a comfortable, but low pressure and see if it flags apneas.
