Pressure for beginners - deadboy - 06-28-2024
I've been recently diagnosed with moderate OSA (AHI 18) and will be starting treatment soon. My doctor prescribed 5-12 cm H2O.
However, I've read a few posts saying most people need at least 7. One person experienced convulsions on their first night with a pressure of 4.
Any advice on whether I should go with my doctor's prescription or change some settings on my own? I'll be getting an Air Sense 11.
I live alone and don't wanna die in my sleep lol

You'll likely do best with combining seeing data in OSCAR, posting it to get suggestions, then changing it yourself. Even 5-15 is too come cookie cutter generic in my opinion.

I would change your starting pressure to 7.
