No, they are just up one or two but still under 5. I was just curious. The mask fit good too. I'll jsut keep an eye on things. Thanks!
I just swtiched from a nasal mask to the new Dreamwear nasal mask and my AHI numbers are up alittle bit, is this normal? Does it take your body a little while to get used to the switch? I'm sleeping ok.
It did help some. I'll try playing with the humidity again, it seems if I increase it then I get the moisture up into the nasal mask. I do have my machine lower than my bed and have a cover for the tubing. It's all trial and error I guess! Thank you so much for your reply and help!! I really appreciate having somewhere to go for support!
Yes, I have had my CPAP compliance checkup already and my doctor adjusted the exhale pressure to try and help with the bloating.
I have been using my CPAP machine since October as my sleep study discovered that I have severe sleep apnea. I was able to adjust to wearing the mask and immediately started sleeping better with only waking up once a night compared to several times before and my numbers have been really good. I've only had two problems with the first being I was getting too much air into my stomach causing severe bloating. My doctor reduce my pressure, I switched from the nasal pillow mask to just the nasal mask and it has helped some. I tried sleeping with a wedge pillow and that didn't help much. I still have bloating and I don't breath thru my mouth either. Now lately I have notice that I am back to waking up more and finding that one of my nasal passages is plugged up. I have tried to adjust the humidity and turned off the heat on the tubing thinking that maybe that was drying me out but that hasn't worked. Do you have any suggestions?
