Ok thanks for telling me about the clinical sleep report. It shows 5.7 AHI and 4.3 Central. Not sure what to make if it all but I’m trying again tonight at 5.0 pressure. I’m also thinking about trying a dental device if I can locate a good dentist with experience in these devices close to Houston.
Doc told me that depending on the sleep study I may have to go on another machine. I just hope I can fall asleep for study so they get good data.
I did reduce the pressure last night to 5 and only had about 6 events per hour. But I forgot to put disk back in machine so cannot tell what the events are. I have put it back in for tonight, so I’ll see tomorrow. My wife told me I was snoring last night and I don’t snore when it is in a higher pressure. I did have little bit of headache today. Possibly central events are not has bad as obstructive ones ?
Hopefully below shows my graphs. I'm working on a Mac. I used to have 8-16 pressure on the machine and I was getting about double the clear airway apneas. I have now switched to just fixed pressure of 8 and get less clear airway and it happens in 2nd half of night ( or more towards last 1/4 of night ). I'm hoping that I can sleep long enough in the sleep study for the study to show this.
My doctor thinks I have complex sleep apnea and is doing another sleep study in a few weeks.
I use the sleepy head software. It reports very little obstructive apnea. Less than 2 usually. But I have high clear airway apnea. Around 10 to 20 score each night.
The thing is when looking at graphs almost always the clear airway comes mainly in 2nd half of night. Over 90 pct in second half. What does this mean ?
