I'm really thinking that my CPAP needs to be adjusted for this altitude. But it's hard to find good information on that. I've checked a few sites. Supposedly, the CPAP I'm using self-adjusts for altitude. But there are several experienced CPAP users who say it still needs to be bumped up a bit. They say the math is easy, but don't provide any way to find out what the math is. I have calls in to my doctor and my CPAP supply company, but no one has called me back. I may just increase the pressure tonight (or set it to auto) and see if that helps.
Slept well for the first 4 hours or so, until the alarm for my second dose woke me. AHI at that point was around 5. Managed to get back to sleep, but woke up intermittently. Not too bad, though. Got back to sleep pretty quickly each time. Total hours 10.1. AHI 6.8. (So apnea was significantly worse in the second half of the night, which could be why I kept waking up.)
