1 Week in - Treatment regimen central apnea?
Hello! I've now been using my CPAP for 1 week and I'm looking for ways I can improve my treatment.
So far I've been having a daily AHI between 5-10, close to 100 % CA. I'm not used to the CPAP yet so I'm awake a lot, and because of that I think my AHI could actually be higher.
From when I go to bed and before I fall asleep, I can feel myself slipping into a state where I stop breathing. I say that I'm not asleep because I can think and act/move as I want to. Also, throughout the night I will feel many apneas, it will put me into a half wake/half sleep-state where I can feel how I stop breathing but I can't do anything about it. Similar to sleep paralysis. Note, I want to say that this experience is not exclusive to CPAP usage, this is also how it is to sleep for me without the CPAP.
I have attached OSCAR data if someone wants to take a look at it. I'm wondering what I could be experiencing, perhaps it's treatment regiment central apnea.
