Hello, newish user trying to get settings dialed in.
Hello! I was hoping to get some help on figuring out why I'm still sleepy during the day despite my AHIs looking good. I've been using an APAP for around 4 months now. My initial hour events were 22.3 when I did my sleep study and I also had low oxygen saturation.
The first month using the machine life was fantastic. My starting settings were a start pressure of 4, with a range of 5-15, and all temperature/humidity options just left on Auto. After this first month I started to feel like I did before the machine. After 3 months of using the machine I had my follow up appt. with my doctor, which included an oxygen evaluation before the appt. O2 levels had returned to satisfactory levels, but I had brought my issues up to my doctor. The result was increasing the range of pressure from 5-15, to 11-15. I tried that for a week and felt the jump from my starting pressure of 5 to 11 was causing problems, so I tried increasing my starting pressure to 8, but after using these settings for a few weeks I wasn't feeling any better. I'll include a few snippets from the last 2 months as I didn't fully understand needing the SD card in the machine to get the graphs to log for OSCAR. I do still have un-graphed data from the first month and can attached those in a follow up comment.
