Help Needed Addressing Cause of Sudden Increase In AHI/CSR
My spouse has been using her APAP over the past 15 years with an overall good response. Her equipment is the same as what i currently use. Yesterday, she woke up early in the morning having trouble breathing and couldn't go back to sleep. At that time, she felt she had some nasal swelling/congestion making it difficult to breath. Her stats that night showed AHI 7.49, OA 2.25, and CA 5.24. Her AHI for the past 6 months was 2.11. Her EPR is set full time at 3.
This morning she again woke up early in the morning with trouble breathing using her APAP and couldn't go back to sleep. She didn't report any nasal swelling/congestion this morning. If she opened her mouth, she indicated that helped with being able to breath. Her stats this night showed AHI 10.79, H 0.34, OA 1.69, and CA 8.76 and percent time in Cheyne Stokes Respiration (CSR) 5.9%. She has no signs of congestive heart failure.
Looking for any ideas on what may be going on as well as any settings that may need adjusting.
