0 CAs 1st Night!
Getting my OAs under control was relatively easy. Can't remember the last time that I had one... but the CAs replaced the OAs. They would go anywhere from 2 to 5 an hour depending on the night and usually in clusters. Thanks to the help of forum members, I started to widdle the little buggers down. The suggestions of decreasing my min and max pressure really helped.
These are two things that I did that really seemed to decease the CAs.
First, I have allergies but hate (empathize hate) full face masks. So I use a nasal mask. Some nights the allergies made it difficult to use the nasal mask and on these nights my CAs increased. I invested in a Navage and it has done wonders in keeping me clear. I noticed that sleeping on my side decreased my CAs, but I really like sleeping on my back! So I have tried to make sleeping on my side more comfortable. I invested in a knee pillow and a huggable pillow. The first night I could only get 4 hours total on my side, but now I am us to 6.5. hours with no CAs.
I still have some hypopneas, (1 per hour) but they never last longer than 10 sec.
