Balancing CAs and Aerophagia

[Crimson Nape]

The term CSR is incorrectly used on the Resmed for periodic breathing. A bad night could be anything. Medication, pain, cramps, outside disruptions, etc. Take your pick. Everyone will have a bad night or a few. It comes with the territory. One night does not make a trend.

So you would more or less just ignore this night?

[Crimson Nape]

Yes! Just let it ride and see if it is an "Oops!" night and not a trend. Trends can be addressed, an outlier can not.

I'm a year into therapy now and was hoping to get some help. Broad strokes: I've found reasonably decent sleep with EPR 3, pressure 7-8. However I would have random spikes in my CA events, sometimes for many nights in a row, and recently I decided to try messing with settings again to improve this.

Broadly speaking however, when I lower EPR to 2 that helps with my centrals but leads to aerophagia. I have GERD and the aerophagia is pretty bad, but my mental clarity is clearer without the centrals.

So it's a difficult trade off that I've been trying to navigate.

Also, after going from 7-8 to 4-6 I noticed a few RERAs crop up where previously I had none.

I'm attaching an example of 4-6, EPR 2 and 4-6.4 EPR 3.

I was thinking tonight I will try EPR 2, 5-5. Lower max to help with aerophagia, lower min to help with RERA, lower EPR to help with CA. Really hoping to get some advice from people... if I could get the results I get with lower EPR with no aerophagia I would be so much happier!

Didn't get the result I was expecting or hoping for here. Basically got the worst of all worlds lol. I might give it another try or go back to 4-6, EPR 2 and keep trying with that.

Could a mod change the title to something like "Balancing CAs and Aerophagia" please?

Thread title change - Done!
