Idub88, i agree with Deborah K., why not try something else, APAP, EPR 3 etc.
And the reason i say this is thru personal experience, as follows.
Been doing CPAP for 35 yrs +
Since beginning of year felt terrible
Tried lots of settings, including those suggested on this board.
Here's what i did....
I began reading and doing breathing execises, mostly by Patrick McKeown from the internet.
I began thinking, hey, if i can sleep with no CPAP, why not use CPAP, but with very low pressure?
Could it really be worse than no CPAP?
My prescription pressure has alway been between 6 and 7 cm .
And like others here, sometimes ok, sometimes not.
So i said, lets go for the lowest i can do
I went with 5 cm and even 4 cm
and i had like almost no events as well !!??
I felt great for those days, though i still was tired later in day, but i made it thru the night !!!
Try something like that.
And keep trying !
How is your sleep hygiene?
Do you get exercise?
Do you have a dry mouth after sleeping?
I found i had to BUST through days of fatigue and tiredness which came on later in the day, though i was fine when i woke up.
Keep going, you can do this.
Oh, and BTW, doing the breathing exercises, keeping my mouth closed ALL day and night, and even with exercise is what i believe and know is doing it for me.
Give it a shot !!??
