I was diagnosed with mild OSA based on pAHI=2.0, pRDI=12.0 using Lofta's at home sleep study.
I still can't get thorough a whole night with a mask on most of the nights.
Without a CPAP, my nose gets stuffy at night. Usually, one or the other nostril (alternating depending on which side I'm sleeping) gets completely blocked and the other is restricted. When this happens, I get these annoying dreams where I fight or struggle and feel super tired in the morning. I'm suspecting I have UARS based on this and the low AHI / high RDI.
On average I feel more rested after sleeping with a CPAP. However, even with the CPAP sometimes one of the nostrils wouldn't get any air through it. I guess I'm getting extra air through the other nostril.
Would increasing the baseline pressure help? What should the settings look like?
Another thing OSCAR is showing I'm having CA events which indicate central apnea events. Should I worry about these?
And on a side note, my cat loves chewing on the hose even while I sleep. I'm on the second hose already. Any thoughts on how to deter the cat (humanely lol)
Thanks for any help!
Here's screenshots for another night with lots of CA events.
