Re: High respiration rate?

Doubt it, but again, that side effect only pertains to you . I don't know the meaning of "successively placed". In my cas...

Re: High respiration rate?
About the nasal stents like the Alaxo... I have the six inch and unless you don't have a gag reflex forget it... when it passes say around four inches in you start gagging and coughing and there's no getting used to that. No amount of will can void your natural reflexes. You literally have to not h...

Re: High respiration rate?
Update... With an ASV machine, an F1B full face mask from BMC (50$ aliexpress), I have much better sleep than CPAP. I'm looking into getting a barbed pharyngoplasty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4DhudXwQbU since it looks to be the ticket for people with CCC level 2 (complete concentric collapse) ...

Re: Alaxo soft palate stent review
[/quote] I only know what I saw in their videos and on their site when I tried to learn about the device. Did you not read or watch??? They talk about building usage time gradually, certainly not about using it immediately for whole nights. [/quote] Hi! Yes, I did, of course. I can spend the whole n...

Re: Alaxo soft palate stent review
And as to SleepGeek's suggestion of using an oxygen tube instead: Sorry didn't mean to come across that way. I've never done it. Just sharing my experience. I met the guy at a meeting, he had some in his shirt pocket cut to size. I think Nastent recycled to this here: https://back2sleep.eu/products...

Re: Alaxo soft palate stent review
Hello everyone :) An update... It's been three days now that I've had this device. The first night showed different charts than the usual but perhaps not that much on the sleep side. The second morning my nose bled slightly so I didn't use it last night. I did however try to get use to it in my othe...

High respiration rate?
Hello, In the last 5 years since I started to get treated my situation has systematically and steadily got worse. I just did a sleep study and the lady was telling me that my high respiration was bad. The way she said it chilled me. Check it out here: https://sleephq.com/public/2e76ff7c-dfbe-40d4-b5...

Re: Feeling strangled
Hi guys, I have a lot of anxiety because my job is in jeopardy. This means chest pressure, and I wake up every two hours with heart aches. Here's a picture of yesterday night. I'm usually always feeling chest pressure even at rest. I think most of it is psy so I'm going to ask for Xanax since I can'...
