New User, Still Feeling Tired
Started using CPAP 3 months ago for the first time in my life. While it has helped tremendously, I still wake up feeling pretty tired most days (not as bad as before CPAP but not great either). Looking at my oscar data it looks like I am still having lots of events where my breathing stops, but not long enough for an apnea. When I did my at home sleep test (watchpat 1) my AHI was only 5.4 but my PRDI was ~17. This makes me thing I am still having 'events', they just don't last long enough to qualify for AHI? Wondering how I should adjust my Resmed 11 settings to get better sleep?
Some more details:
Mask: Vitera full face mask
Pressure: 5-20, autopap
I set a UF1 to capture the shorter apneas, the settings for that are: flow restriction 20%, duration 5 seconds.
I included a zoomed in chart view of some of the UH1's.
*Small note, the UH1's in the first 30 minutes are from me trying to clear my throat, which I stopped breathing briefly for. The rest are legit.*
