![]() ![]() I have spent the past year+ trying to get my sleep doc to pay attention to the fact that I have NOT been doing well despite having an AHI bouncing along around 5. Under advice from my doc, I moved from 6 to 7 for a while then to 8 and finally to 9 - but it was watching it all in Sleepyhead that made me comfortable with doing that. This allows me to use the EPR setting of 3 without worrying that it has introduced the centrals that can be associated with both EPR and with other variations in pressures. I can also see that I do not have any issue with Clear Airways which are potential Centrals. So now i am starting at 9, have less variation and fewer spikes, and because of not varying, leaks are better controlled. events tend to happen when pressure falls below 9 and then the pressure goes higher than it needs to if I just start at 9. I started on APAP at 6 to 15, but soon saw that my pressure goes up to 9 as soon as I fall asleep. I feel like I am still learning, but I could clearly see things like what my pressures were doing throughout the night. I found great documentation on it on another forum, and a lot of other knowledgeable users.
