RE: My challenges - Art Vandelay - 08-25-2022
Good morning-
I received the 3" collar 2 nights ago. Tried it Tuesday night only to wake up 2:15 minutes later with the collar and mask shoved together and pain on my chin and face. I have a 2" collar coming today.
Last night, Wednesday 8-24-22
Total AHI 16.14 Total Time 02:51
Session 1 AHI 13.77 10:59 to 00:02 1:01
Turned on the heated tube to 68° because the incoming air has felt really cold. I think I prefer cold air, that is why I turned the heated tube off to start with but it was very cold in the bedroom the past few nights. Humidity still set to 4.
Tried cervical collar again. This time slept sitting up with three pillows to see of that makes a difference. Very restless but slept. Woke up to mask leaking and pressure on machine was 14.0 I couldn’t get leaks to stop without holding the mask on my face with my hands. Heated tube setting seems to be ok. 2" cervical collar coming today.
Session 2 AHI 22.22 00:25 to 1:46 1:21
Switched to N30 mask and changed the maching mask setting to nasal to see if I could use it. Didn’t seem to have too much trouble but I don’t think I slept at all. Took off the mask out of frustration of not being able to sleep. I thinnk I fell right to sleep.
Session 3 AHI 4.14 4:59 to 5:28 0:29
Woke up and tried the N30 again this time I used one pillow and tried sleeping on my side. I think I slept for a few minutes and my wife woke me up telling me my mask was leaking.
I am so tired. I need sleep. Brain fog is returning. I am worried what is happening to my body if I sleep without the machine based on my sleep study oxygen levels. For the first time ever, I am starting to dread going to bed. Unless I have been sick or something, I have NEVER, and I mean never had trouble falling asleep with very few exceptions
I can post the link to my SleepHQ chart if that helps.
Thank you.
