Best Machine / Settings to lower Glasgow Index?

Hi,

I am trying to lower my glasgow index numbers. I used CPAP and averaged around 1.7. I then jailbroke my Airsense and am using ASVAuto, my average glasgow index is still 1.65, but my steady breathing has improved from ~25% up to ~40%. My high GI number consists of 4 things.

No Pause- .44

Variable Amp- .39

Top Heavy-.31

Skew - .25

I am running ASVAuto- No backup + square wave timing. Last night's settings:

EPAP min EPAP max PS min PS max
5.6 5.6 2 8.4

I am open to anything. Sleep is still fragmented, would love to wake up and have actual energy at some point in my life. I've added a link to my google sheet for my glasgow numbers.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

I am airbreaking my resmed 10 today to switch over to other options of therapy to deal with UARS. I think I want to try bi-level first. Here are what my CPAP settings were, how would i adjust these settings into bilevel?

  • Mode: Fixed CPAP
  • Pressure: 11.4 cmH2O
  • Mask: N30i
  • EPR: 3 (Full-time)

Here are some graphs and sleep data of what a standard night looks to me.

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out because I’m technically "fully treated" but I feel like I haven't slept decent in years. I’ve had intense brain fog and physical heaviness since my teenage years. I’ve been on CPAP for 2 months, and I sleep through the night consistently (7+ hours).

For the last 10 days, I’ve added a soft cervical collar to help with potential chin-tucking, but the fatigue remains unchanged. I also mouth tape. I am mostly a side/stomach sleeper.

Current Settings (ResMed AirSense 10):

  • Mode: Fixed CPAP
  • Pressure: 11.4 cmH2O (I've been slowly raising the pressure, .2 over every 4-5 days. Anytime I try above 11.8 I start to get air in my stomach.)
  • Mask: N30i
  • EPR: 3 (Full-time) (Can't turn this off, it makes me feel like I can't exhale when I do)

Sleep HQ: https://sleephq.com/public/teams/share_links/67adcbb7-dce0-427a-b0b2-b30783fa3c4f/dashboard

I know from looking at my flow that the peaks of my breath aren't curving perfectly at the top. Any suggestions or ideas I can do?
