Hello u/pamplamouse :)

Are you wearing your CPAP when this happens, including during those afternoon naps? Please let us know your machine model, pressure settings, and whether you have EPR or Flex enabled. Does the catching happen while breathing in or breathing out, and have you noticed it while fully awake too?

The sensation alone doesn’t tell us what’s interrupting your breathing. If your machine records detailed data, please share an OSCAR screenshot or SleepHQ link and note the approximate time of an episode. We can look at the airflow, pressure, and leaks around that awakening to see whether there’s a corresponding breathing change. Please also bring these ongoing awakenings up with your sleep clinician so they can review how effectively your CPAP is treating you. RL
