Last night (2nd night) was interesting. I made the recommended changes from set mode "S" EPEP = 7/ IPAP = 11 to:
Set mode = VAuto Set min epap = 7 Set PS=4 Set max IPAP = 11
Once again I had a rare, full night of sleep @7:41 hours and did not remove my mask.
HOWEVER - The night began with GREAT DISCOMFORT and air ingestion/burping. I was not able to tolerate it, so I went ahead and changed the settings to:
Set mode = VAuto
Set min epap = 6
Set PS=4 Set max IPAP = 10
Also - Ramp OFF
The change seemed to improve, or correct the air ingestion problem. I noticed my AHI also improved and I had no CA events - while the preceding night I had 3 CA events
I can't tell if I notice improved sleep or rejuvenation. Still feeling a sense of fatigue. I'm working on fatigue from all angles - lab work, thyroid level control, testosterone hormone, weight loss, exercise, stress management etc. I haven't solved the oppressive fatigue I am experiencing yet
I did notice some times of light sleep during the night. Semi dreaming/semi awake. It didn't feel like deep sleep. Maybe restlessness, maybe unknown arousal
Any advice on what is happening is appreciated. Changes, ideas? What about the pressure change I wen ahead and did
