I have been diagnosed and on Cpap treatment for obstructive sleep apnea for 2 years. My sleep clinic does not do a very good job (in my opinion) to set up my machine and alleviate my concerns. Any assistance would be greatly valued.
Some facts about my situation.
- I do not believe I mouth breath, I rarely wake up with a dry mouth. (maybe once a month)
- Made changes to my hose layout so it hangs from above, with elastic material so it can be stretched and pulled a bit.
- Connected my Nasal pillow straps to a skull cap to keep it in place, it is not too tight, and generally stays put for the night.. It does on occasion come off a bit, which causes me to wake up and re position it.
- I use the swift nano nose pillow and clean it regularly.
- Last night I bumped the max pressure up by 1.
- I am constantly waking up feeling tired, muddy thinking, and a headache / pain behind my eyes.
- Usual sleeping for 7-8 hours, occasionally less then 7
I added the last 3 days of usage screenshots to the post.
August 29th, I felt bad all day with headache.. I woke up and shortly after fell back asleep without the machine I was so tired.
EDITED --(Wrote about the night before)-Originally...
August 30th, I felt okay first thing in the morning, but then got a day long headache and cloudy thinking.
September 1st, Feel a bit tired but no cloudy thinking or headache
Any ideas on what I can do to improve my sleep. I am concerned with how many events I still am having, Should I be?
My sleep clinic seems to be okay with this treatment...
