Possible central sleep apnea? AHI suddenly up to 30-60 per night, waking up feeling like I am forgetting to breathe
Over the past week, I’ve noticed my AHI has skyrocketed from less than 10 to 30-60 an hour. I’ve also been having difficulty falling asleep due to waking up gasping for breath as though my cpap isn’t doing its job.
I have a beard and it is longer right now, but I usually don’t have this problem when my beard gets long. I’m also sleeping 10-13 hours a day and still feel tired.
I’m sure it’s against the subreddit’s rules to ask for medical advice, so I won’t do that. Just trying to brain storm any other variables I should eliminate before jumping straight to “Do I have CSA (central sleep apnea)?”
I’m getting my beard cut in the next day or two. My machine is about 4 1/2 years old. Resmed autosense 10. No allergies or cold symptoms causing nasal congestion. Pressure settings are 6.0-12.0 inH2O.
