the inhale cycle gets interrupted and instead of continuing into exhale, its like a SECOND inhale!
In real life this is like a sudden gasp/jerk that throws me out of sleep right at sleep onset, so as soon as my brain is drifting to sleep this happens and i am awaken.
You might ask you probably have a rare neurological desease and you might be right, it has been alsmot 4 years on this forum and i'm posting crazy questions BUT I have found out lately a glimpse of hope:
There is a "magic" EPAP/PS combination that prevents this from happening, so i can ENTER into sleep and stay asleep, still there is a weird spike that keeps happening in the breathing but it is a sharper inhale/exhale cycle that does not always wake me up.
you can review my prvious post here : http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-...e-Analysis
Now, that "magic" EPAP/PS combo keeps changing, 2 weeks ago it was EPAP:7.6 and PS 4.4 it worked for a whole 10 days, if i change the EPAP to 8.4 or less i get the sudden gasp at sleep onset, if i increase it still the smae result i get the gasp, if i keep it steady at 8.6 but lower the PS to 4.2 i get the gasp if i increase it to 4.8 i get the gasp!
so it works, 10 days then suddenly, sleep onset i gasp 1, 2, 3 itervals till i surrender and start fidgeting again with the number, now it's EPAP: 8.6 and PS.4.4 worked for almsot a week as well then stopped.
i tried RAMP as well, set it for 4.6 epap 45mn to see if i will sleep before the combo works, spasmed at ramp as well.
( i was taking clonazepam and Keppra as well so this might has an effect i'm not sure).
then the magic combo (after 5 hrs of trials in sleepless night) became EPAP:6.4 and P.S: 2, this worked for only 2 nights then stopped.
then today nap i tried same combo and you can see the suudden incomplete breath cycle in the graph.
my other numbers are: trigger : very fast , cycle medium, timax 2 and ti min 0.8
So, the machine HAS something to do with whats going on, it can provide releif somehow, i'm just clueless on how to keep it consistent.
P.S: leaving IPAP open doesn't seem to help either, and sleeping WITHOUT the machine also doesn't work as i gasp on sleep onset guaranteed.
I'm not looking for curing cancer, or googleing any "parasomnias" doctors are cluless as well, i'm lookign to see if you guys here can help me wit hthe Aircurve V10 auto setting to prevent this cycle interruption at sleep onset.
thanks
