This one. I’ve played with the pressure relief setting and the ramp setting and nothing really changes.
Okay im doing some google-sleuthing so hold my

Apparently your machine is a CPAP/APAP, this sounds like it’s relevant info:
While CPAP delivers one continuous pressure level of air, APAP automatically adjusts to meet each specific person’s breathing needs , which often change throughout the night as we move in and out of different stages of sleep.
Watch this and see if anything here helps (the first minute is all medical disclaimer shit) https://youtu.be/_xbb9os3k2Y?t=61
- Is your machine on CPAP or APAP mode? If it’s been on APAP, i think this is the setting that’s causing most of your problems. CPAP is constant pressure but APAP is variable (which is good unless it’s not delivering air appropriately. ie, your current problems)… chaning to CPAP mode is probably the simplest solution here, if it was already set to APAP.
- If your machine has been set to CPAP this whole time, I would look into your E-COMP settings, and maybe more specific research on your machine + that setting as to adjust it as you like. I didn’t do any searching here because there’s too many if/then scenarios
EDIT: the video is only like a minute long

After watching the video my machine is definitely on the apap setting because they told me they set my pressures from 8-15.
I’m gonna see if I can go in and change it to cpap and see if I can set it at like 10 or 12 maybe

it will still take some adjusting to get a pressure you feel comfortable with, but the ramp-up should help get you there more comfortably.
Let me know how it goes!

Definitely broken. The CPAP should auto regulate between your pressure settings. I have the Resmed unit that @Andrewgen_Receptors showed above. They should set it up for you upon delivery and you should never have to adjust the settings.

I will say that I fucked with my settings immediately upon arrival. I can’t be trusted with anything though… Like if I get a new TV, the remote is going to last a matter of minutes before I open it up and take it apart - just because that’s who I am.
Previously, people like me were known as “tinkerers”, but now I just identify with “random acts of fuckery”.

Haha well don’t! So the sleep study you did should have told the doctor what pressure settings you need on the low and high range. They set that in the settings and then it auto regulates. Don’t fix what isn’t broken son! Wink.

I hope they get that shit fixed. I know i have had issues sometimes and it sucks.
Me too dude. I honestly feel like my body is on the verge of shutting dow or something bad happening.
I actually slept without the cpap last night for the first time since getting it.
I’ve been running on a few broken hours sleep a night for about 4 months now. The only positive is I havent started feeling worse at any point.

Have you made any adjustments yet? Just remember that you were sleeping okay before the CPAP so your sleep quality probably didn’t worsen just because you brought a CPAP home.
Honorable mention: If your nose is stuffy at night, get that shit figured out ASAP. Humidifiers if it’s low humidity, or allergy meds, literally anything. If you can’t breathe out your nose, your sleep quality goes downhill hard and fast.
I have. I’m gonna play with it some more as well.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic? My sleep hasnt been “ok” for years.
No that’s exactly what happened
I actually can’t breathe through just my nose and live. Can’t get enough air. It’s not stuffy, it just doesn’t work right. I’ve broken some stuff in my face that effects sinuses, assuming that’s what causes it but idk
So it’s actually hard to breathe IN for me but breathing out through my nose isn’t horrible.

Fairly certain it was use who was using cohens “hybrid performance training” nutritionist.
Curious how they set it up. Do they use an app? Do the have meals selected for you to prepare and eat?
I really want to have someone else handle my nutrition, so I really really don’t want someone to charge me $130 a month and say “eat what ever you want man, just make sure you get 220/600/100!”

Could you just try 220/600/100 and adjust accordingly?
Although close to the macros I was consuming I just made those up.
I don’t want to have to think or do anything. I wanna pay someone and they say eat this for this meal and this meal and so on.
I don’t do well when left to my own demise

Ever look into Jon Andersen? I hear he goes into that sort of detail.
I haven’t. I probably should, but for the record I was wanting someone to tell me what AND how much to eat lol like in ounces or grams 
I doubt I’ll ever run deep water, but I have been thinking about leaning heavily on days the next time I try to gain weight and see what happens.

Right. I am saying he does that. His book goes into that level of detail.
