Sierra,

Thanks for your response. I saw the doctor and looked a little more at the data using OSCAR, happy to know about that software now! It looks like the OSAs are very minimal, but the central apneas are now very high (30-60 AHI). My titration study showed virtually no central apneas. After a bunch of internet searches, I've stumbled across the idea of "treatment emergent" apnea. Is this just my body reacting to the machine? Do you know of resources available to learn about this? I'm wondering if wearing the machine when I'm not sleeping will help my body adjust at all.

Thanks, Ari

Hey everyone,

I recently started using a BiPAP after completing a titration study. The tech and doctor said that in the study, they were able to get my AHI down to 3. However, with the BiPAP at home, my numbers have been significantly higher. As high as 30-40, but most recently down to 15, as they have been adjusting setting. Is this common that it still takes adjustments and time? I'm falling asleep fine with the mask on and feel comfortable in bed with it, but I end up waking up halfway through the night, from what feels like an apnea. Have others experienced something similar?

Thanks, Ari
