erqq - CPAP Analysis

[Sleeprider]

Positional apnea cluster. https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.ph...onal_Apnea
That cluster of events aside, your flow limits dropped from .09 to .07 and your minute vent increased slightly and respiration rate was slightly reduced, therapy time increased by 1-hour. All good stuff. Watch out for extra or tall firm pillows. You might want to increase maximum pressure to 11 or 12 to break the obstruction if they happen again.

I will do. Thanks a lot. I appreciate your help.

Yesterday night I had 9 unclassified apneas. What do you think it is? What should I do?

Looks like you have a major mask leak problem in that time period, and your machine doesn't know what's really going on. You also have a reported 20% of the night with significant mask leaks, so I would definitely look into fitting your mask better or trying a new one.

erqq - All 3 of your threads deal with your therapy. I have merged them into one thread and renamed it to be more encompassing. The new name is: "erqq - CPAP Analysis". Please use this thread to for all further posts that relate to your therapy. I will be sending you a PM to confirm this action as well.

I have been using my cpap for 1 month and I am still getting used to it. What do you think about my reports? I feel better daytime. Do you suggest any changes in settings?

Looks like earlier in the thread, Sleeprider recommended that you increase your minimum pressure to 7cm H2O, and later on made the recommendation to increase maximum to 11 or 12, but your charts show that you have done neither of these things. I agree with him that both changes are likely to help you, but if you are feeling well you may want to keep doing what you are doing.
