I have had sleep apnea for the last 14 months that I know of. I went on a cpap machine and everything was good for almost a year and now suddenly the last 3 weeks my sleep apnea numbers are up again. this is happening even though I am using the machine every night and my mask fits good. My doctor seems confused about what to do to help me. He suggested that I switch machines to see if somehow the machine is malfunctioning but I don't think that is it. I am turning my machine in Tuesday and getting a different one to try.
Having said that since I am now so sleepy during the day I have been really irritable and snapping at people and grumpy. I have not been a very good example lately which I have been praying about. I know God can heal me and is not confused even though my doctor is. I don't know what to do about this. I am doing everything the same and getting different results now. I pray that God would heal me of this and take away all the fatigue I am feeling. My AHI was 21.2 last night which is horrible. You want it at under 5.

Sorry to hear that you are having so many problems with your apnea. I pray that the new machine works for you and gets you the rest you need.

Prayers for you! Could it be possible that the pressure of the machine lost some calibration?

I am really struggling today. My AHI last night was a 26.2 when the goal is under 5. AHI is the number of apnea or hyponea events per hour. I am really hoping that they find a way to help me soon

My numbers are back where they should be as of last night. We switched machines yesterday and the new one worked much better.

That has to be a huge relief for you!

How was last night's sleep?

It was not as good. I've decided to stop looking at my sleep report everyday as it is increasing my anxiety and just take a look every week or so and regularly send my numbers to my doctor so he can order any tests he needs to order.
