RE: Two weeks on APAP and trying to understand
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.

RE: Two weeks on APAP and trying to understand
So you would more or less just ignore this night?

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.

RE: Two weeks on APAP and trying to understand
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?
