Help with report and APAP
Hi,
Background:
I had been using a CPAP set at 6 (pressure) for 4 years. I have not been sleeping well the last year so I had a sleep study done earlier this year. The new study indicated a pressure of 7 would be better for me. (As an aside, I lost about 30 pounds the last year and a half, so I was surprised that my pressure has to go up.)
Machine and mask: ResMed Autoset II, Activa mask.
Month of June:
Settings: Resmed set as CPAP @ 7, EPR = 3
Result: Waking up tired in the morning.
I just got my report for last month. See attachment.
I need help with the Events chart. Do the numbers on the apnea indicates the number of seconds of the events ? Why are there no numbers associated with the hypopnea, like the apnea, on the events chart ?
Last few nights:
Settings: Resmed is now set as APAP (autoset), min=7, max = 9. EPR=off
Result: Waking up 4 or more times during the night. Tired in the morning. I have discomfort in the stomach in the morning.
I do not have the SW. So I have been writing down my readings manually.
Readings from Efficacy Data:
Day 1: Pressure=9, AHI=2.6, AI=1, HI=1.6
Day 2: Pressure=9, AHI=2.6, AI=0.5, HI=2.1
Day 3: Pressure=9, AHI=5.9, AI=2.2, HI=3.7
Any insights or suggestion on how to improve my sleep (less waking ups and less tired in the morning) would be much appreciated ?
Thank you in advance.

Were you using another Resmed model the last 4 years before switching to this Resmed S8 AutoSet II? Is your Mask Selection set for the correct mask? What was your reported Leak rate for these 3 nights?

I was using a fisher and paykel before the Resmed. Mask selection is set to Aptiva. Leak rates are 0.26, 0.22, 0.28 for lsat 3 nights (L/s).

Your download you linked for us shows your AutoSet set in CPAP mode at 7 cms w/EPR at 3.
Were you using a different model Resmed the last 4 years before switching to this Resmed S8 AutoSet II? Is the Mask Selection set for your correct mask? What was your reported Leak rate for these three nights?

Setting was switched from CPAP to APAP after the report. APAP for last 3 nights set at min=7 and max=9.
I was using a fisher and paykel in the last 4 years, before this Resmed S8 Autoset II. Mask selection is correct - set to Aptiva. Leak rates were 0.26, 0.22, 0.28 for last 3 nights (L/s).
