I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in January 2023. 48 events per hour. I was prescribed a CPAP machine with an automatic pressure of 5-15, EPR at 2.
I think that during the first year, I did not have a good night's sleep. When I talked to my sleep tech, everything was fine because my AHI was below 5. A classic case.
So I read about it, realized that I was not the only one, I installed Oscar. I tried to understand.
In 2024 I started to play with my settings. My statistics improved. I now have a fixed pressure at 8, still the EPR at 2. But I still have CAs. Less than before, but still.
Here is the graph of my night yesterday, a classic case.
I decided this morning to go and look at my 2023 statistics. The majority of my bad nights are due to CAs. Lowering the pressure helped but not totally.
I wonder if I can still do something? EPR at 3 ? Am I on the right machine ?
Thank you very much and have a nice day!
