RE: Switched from Philips Dreamstation CPAP To Resmed Autocurve 10 VAuto
OK, got it Gideon, thanks.
jb1977belgium my mistake on editing the pressure settings, disregard what I'd said on that.

This will give you a reset on the settings in case any were edited prior. Then you are starting at a known default.

Otherwise we could miss something the previous user tried and it never got reset. It HAS happened before, it is just a cautionary measure, I'm not specifically expecting anything. so hopefully absolutely no changes.

The VAuto should have the timing settings including Ti control. Yes, PR is Philips Respironics.

ith EPAP min 4.0, PS 4.0 and maximum pressure 17.0, your charts show a median pressure of 9.4/5.4 (IPAP/EPAP) and 95% pressure at 12.5/9.5. Based on this, I would do nothing more than increase minimum EPAP pressure to 6.0. Everything looks pretty good here, but your minimum EPAP pressure is just a bit low, and you can reduce the variation of pressure by raising it, just 1-cm. Really would prefer to see a standard view with Events, Flow Rate, Pressure and flow limits, but this therapy looks pretty good. Please be sure to include how you feel as part of the information you post.

I have attached the new one of tonight. I've also resetted the charts to basic as requested.
Yesterday, I already raised the EPAP to 5. So this chart already included a night on 5.
Thanks @Gideon, @SarcasticDave94, @CrismonNape & @Sleeprider for replying. Really appreciate it.
I do feel quite good, but I also slept more than 10 hours, and I just woke up. Guess the rest of the day will tell me more.
One thing that is different, and I think that it is pressure related. I don't have it every day, but seem to be able to trigger it when I increase the pressure settings.
It's difficult to explain, but sometimes I have the feeling that there is some pressure in my head/brain after waking up in the morning. Can't really say it's a headache. It goes away after a couple of hours, and during that timeframe it's sometimes a bit difficult to really concentrate. A pain killer solves the problem most of the time, but I try to do this as less as possible.
Today for exampe, by ending the typing of this text, this feeling is almost gone (half an hour awake). Any of you have simular feelings?
My CPAP settings on PR Dreamstation was 10.5 fixed and Flex on 1. But I'd had to change that depending on how I felt. It varied between 8 and 11. I think I needed a higher pressure during the night, but I couldn't fall asleep above 11, and I also had the same pressure feeling in my head above 11. When i went above 13, it did change from pressure feeling to headaches.
@Sleeprider. I'll try do a couple of days on 5, and if the falling asleep in part remains ok, I'll move it to 6. It's just one week that I have my falling asleep a bit under control. The first week on the Resmed, a was awake 6hours, and slept only 2 to 3 hours, but I started with EPAP 9 and IPAP 15 and PS 4. Not the best idea for me :-)
@SarcasticDave94 Indeed the features are different in other areas. I bought the Vauto because of all the settings I've seen in all the video's online. Mine does not have any TiControl settings, while others on the web do. I tought that this would really be a problem, but I either got used to to breathing cycle of my device, or it auto-adapted, not sure.
