Re: Just had Septoplasty & Turbinectomy - anyone here who can experience share what this has meant for their CPAP therap
I had my surgery done several years before I started using my bilevel machine. I was able to breath much easier through my nose with the splints in place than I could prior to the surgery. I had this done in conjunction with UPPP surgery and it kept me from needing a machine for more than fifteen ye...

Re: Cpap mask over mouth and nose
You cannot feel the air being expelled F20 from the F20 mask. If you hold your hand real close to the elbow, you can detect a slight difference in temperature as you inhale and exhale. The cooler the hose temp is set, the more pronounced the difference. It will feel warmer as you exhale and then fee...

Re: New machine - how to sync my sd card w/ OSCAR?
Create a new profile and try loading the data under that profile. I created new profiles when my wife and I got new machines even though they are the same model machine as the old ones.

Re: Help! According to your experienece: does the Evora FFM seal better than the Dreamstation and the F30 masks ?
My wife and I both used the F20 for a few years. We switched to the Evora about six months ago and are very happy with it. While I never had a leakage problem with the F20, my wife did. She has had much less of a problem with the Evora.

Re: Feeling like I'm suffocating.
Your starting pressure is kind of low. Some people feel like they are suffocating with pressure less than 7 0r 8 cm. Try raising your pressure to 8 and see how you do.

Re: New mask - now getting dry mouth
The mask in your avatar appears to go under your chin. If it did, it would help keep your mouth closed at night. My wife and I are both use a firm foam cervical collar with the Evora mask. The collar keeps our chin from dropping and our mouth from coming open. You can use a cervical collar or a chin...

Re: Insurance/Cpap Question
Check your insurance coverage to see what they will actually pay for. They may or may not reimburse you for purchases made over the internet. Many insurance companies require you to purchase your equipment through specific DME suppliers.

Re: CPAP or BPAP
With pressure that high, I would definitely recommend you change to a bi-level machine. Preferably the ResMed AirCurve 10 VAUTO.
