The best thing to share is the Daily Detail report from SleepyHead. On a PC just use the F12 key to save the screenshot. A message will display in the bottom right of the screen where it is being saved. Then use Windows Explorer to find the file. Open a new post here with the Write a Reply button, then left click on the saved file and drag it to the body of the open new post.

This link on Aerophagia may be of some help in your bloating/gas issues.

On a PC all you have to do is left click on the image file (not the image), and drag it to an open post here that you are composing. Copy and paste does not work.

Yes, download SleepyHead to view your leakage during the night. You only need a 4 GB SD card and $5-10 USB plug in SD card reader.

Here is what poor leakage looks like in SleepyHead.

And a good leakage chart.

I think we are starting to split red hairs here, but I would say that the AirCurve 10 S is a BiLevel or BiPap machine, as it can deliver 25 cm of pressure and can split the IPAP and EPAP by more than 3 cm.

I find the following link a good one for understanding the ResMed vocabulary.

ResMed Innovation and Technology

I suffer from occasional CSR as well. It is a particular type of central apnea. I used to get it fairly consistently about once every month or two. The last time I had it was November. I have made a couple of changes that I think reduced the incidence of CSR. One was that I asked my doctor if I could cut the dose of my beta blocker (bisoprolol) blood pressure med in half. I used to take it twice a day, and I now take it in the morning only. It reduces the heart rate and as a result I think it reduces blood flow and can make the CVS more sensitive to central apnea. Just my own theory, but it seems to have helped. The other change I have made is to change to a fixed pressure CPAP mode instead of the auto mode. Again just my theory, but I think my AutoSet was chasing hypopnea events that were central in nature with more pressure, and the higher pressure was actually causing more central events and sometimes the full CSR cycle. If you zoom in on that event area, you are likely to see a waxing and waning of the breathing effort and typically CA events at the minimum effort points. See an example of mine below.

You may want to follow when these events are occurring for pressure, and also when you are having CA events to see if there is any pattern of it happening when the machine has increased pressure.

I am not a medical professional, but I don't think the occasional CSR flag is anything too serious. If it becomes a regular occurance you should discuss it with your GP or heart specialist. It can be an indicator of reduced function of the cardiovascular system. It also can happen more frequently if you are living at a significant elevation above sea level.

If you post your full Daily Detail page for that day, I may be able to make some more comments...

The previous generation model of the ResMed was called the S9. The latest model I believe is officially called the AirSense 10 AutoSet, or sometimes A10 for short. I believe some now call the new model the S10, but it is more correctly the A10. In any case your doctor clarified the type of the ResMed as an APAP. See the highlighted area. Insist on a AirSense 10 AutoSet. Make sure the machine has a SD card in it so you can track your results with SleepyHead.

I looked sleep study report which was based on the Phillips NightOne data. They did not report a RERA nor was there a space for them to report it on they form. The newest CPAP machines report RERA but they do not disclose much on how they do it. It is something that perhaps someone could flag manually, but in reviewing the information you posted I do not see any indication that the machine automatically records it.

I have not done it, but here is a screen shot from the information that comes up when you click on the Oximetery Wizard on the SleepyHead home screen. I think the OP is not using a CPAP so would need something stand alone. But, perhaps SleepyHead could work with just the Oximetery and no CPAP data. Don't know for sure, but it says it will work standalone...

I'm disappointed to hear you could not make the P10 work. That has not been my experience with a nasal mask, but that of course is irrelevant to you. Your experience is what counts. Perhaps at another part of the year it could work for you, and for now, you may have to stick to a full face.
