Tired Again

[Brennie]

The first chart was when things were going well and I felt great.

The 2nd chart is recent, where I am feeling tired again.

Thanks!

Hi,

The new setting of 8-15, EPR 3, is comfortable. There are now some CAs. I hope they are ok. The tape I have been using for months is the cover roll stretch tape, a big piece.

But I still have not been feeling that great lately. I need to take a crash nap every day. Sometimes I am still groggy, like before CPAP.

(Other than sleep, my health is good. I am slim, walk every day, eat well and try to stay off the devices prior to bedtime.

You can see there was a spike last night around 3:40 which woke me up and I couldn't go back to sleep.

I will attach the last 3 nights.

Hi Brennie,

AHI looks okay, you have some leak rate spikes but with how you're feeling tired and the scattered events (CAs and OAs) and your 99 percent pressure at 14.9cm I believe you should try continuous pressure mode to see if you have less arousals and micro arousals (most people do when switching over)-so please set your AS10 to 15cm in CPAP mode and leave EPR on @ 3.

Hi Phaleronic

For my clarification, you are suggesting continuous pressure at somewhere between 10 and 15 (epr3) ?

Thank you for your help,

Brennie

The 10 appears to reference the ResMed 10 series machine only.

It looks like he wants you to do static 15 pressure with a full time EPR 3. You can get static 15 by CPAP mode and pressure 15, or AutoSet and Min and Max equals 15.

Hello, Again.

Since the last time I posted, I have set my machine at APAP, min 10 and max 15.

I would ask you to please look at the last 2 nights. The AHI is varies, but both days I am so T.I.R.E.D. and have been for awhile. My leak rate varies, but I use the same wide tape every night.

What do you see that goes along with me being so tired, like before I started CPAP?

Thank you so much for input,

Brennie

Here are my latest two nights. Please also take a look at my previous post.

I am looking for advice as to how to decrease the flow limits or whatever you think is keeping me groggy, and from feeling rested.

I am using the non-woven cover roll stretch tape, 2 inches wide.

Thank you so much.
