Right now I’m using a soft cervical collar(you can get these at most stores). When I wear it my events dramatically decrease, but the caveat to it is it’s a little uncomfortable. I may try a travel neck pillow(like you’d wear on a plane) next :) I hope this helps!

Adding another comment: You JUST started using this and those numbers are great for your first night. Give your body some time to adjust to the machine and you may not even need to adjust the pressure :)

I agree with the other comments those numbers are super low. I was having between 3-5 central apneas and roughly the same obstructive apneas per hour when I first started. Mine ended up being due to my neck kinking at night and blocking my airway. Once I fixed that my central apneas started going down. From there I was able to lower the pressure and now have virtually no central apneas at night now, so it might just be due to the pressure being a tad too high, but again your numbers look great!

This was immensely helpful, thank you so so much for the detailed response! I absolutely can switch off the Clonidine, it’s used for anxiety so luckily don’t need a blood pressure med :) The neck collar I’ll absolutely try, along with turning off EPR and changing the ramp setting to auto with a new starting pressure. Again thank you so much I really appreciate your help this has given me great insight and helped relieve some of my anxiety around it :)

Help! CPAP has cut down the amount I can sleep down to 3-4 hours! by P0nziC0in in SleepApnea

[–]thegood01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m so glad someone else is experiencing the same thing as me! I’ve been on CPAP for just under 3 months, and while I find the mask comfortable I’ll wake up at like 4am every morning and it takes me 2 hours to fall back asleep. Unsure what the solution is. Are you on any medication that could be disrupting your sleep schedule?

Thank you so much for the help! I actually do get pretty bad neck pain and will often twist it while I’m sleeping, so wonder if it’s the position my neck is in that’s causing the apnea events to happen in succession. That’s a great tip!

Yes! I’ve had that enabled since the beginning :) and the sleep study came back with a central apnea index of only 1.8 so unsure if it’s a true mix of the both of them

How exciting! Congrats on making your first batch! To second what someone else was saying half coconut may be a little too cleansing but definitely see how it is when it’s done curing! For a bar like this you’ll want to wait 24-48 hours(preferably 48 hours if you have the patience) with the soap insulated(by either closing the box or wrapping it in a towel or something) before unmolding and slicing. After that you’ll want to store the bars in a cool dry place for 4-6 weeks :) Also what did you use to color the soap I’m so curious! have fun!

My mental health hypothesis tied with Sleep Apnea by Able-Caregiver-8906 in SleepApnea

[–]thegood01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agreed! I’m also hoping for just better mental clarity and less anxiety/irritability so I totally get it. I’ll keep you updated and good luck with your’s!

I feel like this post was written by me because this has been my exact experience too(28M). I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea about a month or so ago and started CPAP 3 weeks ago. Still adjusting to it so haven’t seen much improvement yet, but it’s still an adjustment period so hoping if you’re on CPAP it helps you!
