Low AHI but many arousals, crappy sleep.
Hello all, I am 25, and have been using the CPAP for about 5 years or so. I am just having really crappy sleeps and it feels like I have never gotten it right. The machine does not report many apneas but when I look into the flow rates, there is many spikes it seems like. Would anybody be able to offer some insights? I have some pictures at different settings i'd like to share.

Welcome to the forum snewmy
You are having CA events on both charts-were you diagnosed with with CSA/OSA mixed or straight OSA? Do you feel a difference between the modes regarding your sleep? I personally sleep the best (deepest) using cpap. Are you sleeping on your sides on a flat pillow? I would suggest using cpap mode but turn up the pressure to 13cm and turn EPR on @ 1, try it tonight for 30 minutes or so before bed to see what you feel at that pressure.

I was just told that i "had sleep apnea" and was given a APAP with a setting of 5-20 pressure x.x. I tried what you suggested last night. My AHI is much higher now, but i "think" i feel more rested today. i'm not decided yet though, haha.

Okay Let's give it a few more nights at this pressure, you're still having CA events lined up some clustered, are you sleeping on your sides as much as possible, and not propped up? |
