I started a new drug and my Sleepyhead reports showed an abrupt change. AHI increased and Pressure went to max output. I looked at the charts and did not make any changes to see if it was only temporary. After several weeks of no change I contacted the doctor to report what had happened.
The doctor responded that is was not the drug but to inform my other doctors. This I did. After another two weeks with no good answers I changed my cpap pressure min to see if that would help.
With the higher starting pressure I thought the machine might be able to respond better. This change did not improve my charts any. Another week went by with my cpap now working at it’s max output most of the time.
I stopped the drug and after several days started to see my charts looking like they were before the new drug was added. My charts are still not as good as before but improving.
I am waiting to see the doctors and ask if they will try something else. So far all I am getting is blank faces looking back at me. I am disappointed in that they do not want to look at the Sleepyhead charts.
Has anyone else had a reaction to a new drug and if so can you answer some questions please.
1) What was the drug ?
2) What was the reaction you had ?
3) What did the doctor say and do ?
4) What was the outcome ? Did you change or quit the drug ?
Thank You for responding, my your information help others.
