Variable Breathing/CSR?

RE: Variable Breathing/CSR?
Thanks. 

I believe the ramp is turned off. Kind of strange results. That's worse than my original study.

RE: Variable Breathing/CSR?
Here is last night, strange that I actually felt like I slept fairly well.

I think the pressure is causing me to get the CA's. I also think the Respironics is not reacting fast enough. I don't have any way to get another machine until I meet with the doctor Dec 18, and I don't have much hope that he will even look at the wave forms. The VA is obsessed with AHI and that is all. It's also a telehealth. I'm just going to stress that I need a new study.

   

Also, for comparison, in case anyone can see a reason this is happening, here is July 16.

Your results are widely changing. 
There is a chance it is the pressure adjustment you tolerate poorly, not the press setting itself. To find it out, you might want to run your instrument with the following settings: 
Minimum pressure: 10 cm
Maximum pressure 10 cm 
Ramp off
Flex none.

Interesting that I just got the results (From June, thanks VA), and this could explain things.

Mild decrease in FEV1 of uncertain clinical significance. 
Normal lung volumes. 
Normal diffusion capacity. 
There is no significant bronchodilator effect.


So I'm having issues exhaling and I assume the pressure is too high and the Phillips is likely interpreting incomplete breaths as obstructive events and keeping the pressure elevated.
