[Pressure] Titration for UARS
#1
Titration for UARS
Hi Everyone, 

I'm hoping to get some assistance with titrating my Bipap to treat my UARS. 

Background: I've been struggling to get restful sleep for almost six years. My most recent sleep study (18 months ago) titrated me to 14/9 on Bipap. When I got home and used this pressure (on a Phillips Bipap), I experienced an incredible number of CAs, felt awful, and I eventually retreated to my ResMed Air Sense 10 Apap with limited success. 

I also have PLMD which is correlated with my sleep-disordered breathing ("SDB") and creates its own set of arousals. In addition to my new ResMed V-Auto Bipap I am now using, I also use an oral appliance and take .25mg of clonazepam at bedtime. This combination gets me to a point where I can function, but I am nowhere near 100%. Obviously, I'd like to find a purely mechanical solution to my SDB and discontinue clonazepam. I'm also open to getting a different machine, up to and including an ASV. 

Please let me know what additional information I can provide, and thank you in advance for the help.

RE: Titration for UARS
How come that i was also diagnosed with UARS, I'm taking clonazepam even up to 2mg, also with months of bad sleeping and my AHI score is around 0.5. Im using 4min max 11.
