Please review my OSCAR data. Months of APAP therapy with no improvement in symptoms.
Hi all,
I've been using an APAP for ~8 months now. It took about 2 months to find the right mask and get comfortable enough to be in full compliance. I started off at 4-20 cmH2O (Med Pressure: ~7.5-8, 95% Pressure ~10.5-11) and over time raised my minimum pressure up to 7.6.
For the past 6 months or so, I've been averaging 7.5-8.5 hours of APAP usage per night, with an AHI < 2. However, I don't feel any better. I'm just as tired as always. I was hoping someone could look at my OSCAR screenshots and to see if there are any adjustments I can make that may help. I am including a couple zoomed in charts. One is of how my breathing typically looks and the other is a reported CA that I was wondering whether someone can tell me is real or if I am likely awake and holding my breath.
Thanks!
