[Treatment] The Client's Treatment Request Thread

[theclient1437]

            Hi all, 

I've been recently diagnosed with mild OSA (AHI ~6, RDI 10, ODI 3).  I've been prescribed (and purchased) a Resmed Autoset 10, and have settled on a Resmed F30 as my mask.  I have nasal stuffiness at night, and tend to mouth breathe, hence the F30.  I've been undergoing treatment for a little over a week, which I know is early, but my AHI hasn't really decreased.    

My home study (WatchPAT) revealed significant positional apnea when on my back.  

Currently, my minimum pressure is set to 8.2, and EPR set to 1.  I'm still getting an AHI of 5-7, and am getting both central and hypopneas.  So, I'm wondering what, if any changes I should make (apart from adding a cervical collar, which I'll do tonight).  I already use a pillow propped under me at night to force me to side sleep. 

Here are my OSCAR graphs from the past few nights.  Let me know if you have thoughts, and thanks in advance!

I suggest increasing your minimum pressure to 10 cm.
