Thanks. The VA actually downloads all the data and reviews it. They have it set up with no SD card and no options for us to access our own reports. Sounds dumb, I know. I follow up with the Sleep doc in late June. The machine issued to me is a Resmed AirSense 10 "Autoset" which ranges in pressure from 4.0 to 20. When I begin each night it stays at 4.0 for a while. When I have awakened during the night it's normally in the 9-10 range. 14.1 is the highest I have seen it. The machine gives me a smiley 😊 for mask seal and has a leak test as well, which is always fine. I would say on most nights I get one to 3 leaks that wake me with the loud rushing air noise. I started with the nasal pillows but I felt like I may mouth breathe some, so I started using the full mask on night 2 until now.
My AHI was 41.9 and my "Epworth Sleep Scale" score was 13.
Hello, I'm new to the forum. I was recently diagnosed with obstructive Sleep Apnea and it was classified as SEVERE. I started using a CPAP machine 5 weeks ago and I am terribly disappointed that I am not feeling any better. I'm just as tired and actually think I'm more tired since starting. I can log 8+ hours on the machine, wake up, take it off and sleep another 2 or 3 hours. When I don't have work or kids I can sleep 12 to 14 hours. It's ridiculous. I understand there are many causes of excessive fatigue. I don't eat well or exercise like I should. I'm 20 to 30 lbs overweight and suffer from depression. However I recently came across some medical records from when I was 18 years old and in the Marine Corps where I was having issues with chronic fatigue. I couldn't have been in much better shape than I was at that time. What the heck is wrong with me?
