Can my Dr change the settings to give me more air when I stop breathing with the VAuto?
I have the air curve 10 VAuto.
I have the vauto air curve 10.
I don't have CHF that I know of. My problems happened after I had COVID. So far they haven't found anything else wrong with me that would be causing my mixed sleep apnea. I have mostly central apneas with about 20% Obstructive apneas....mostly those happen on my back. I saw a cardiologist because I want my heart checked and I am going to have a scan soon and stress test. Mostly I just have a fast heart rate, although I always have, even when I was an athlete in college. I do have a hard time absorbing B vitamins and magnesium. I notice that my legs get restless and feel crampy and after I take magnesium and liquid b vitamins the leg cramping and restlessness gets better and I get fewer apneas.... they're still there, but I don't have as many events.
I have a ResMed air curve 10 BiPap machine. I also use a Wellue continuous 02 reader. I have mixed apnea with the majority of events being central apnea. I noticed that there are the same if not more events using the bipap than when not using it. It doesn't feel like the bipap is forcing air when I stop breathing. So my 02 gets in the high 80's during an event, until my ring vibrates to wake me up. I am more tired with it then without using the bipap. Is there a way to make the machine increase pressure when it doesn't feel you inhale for awhile?
