My understanding is there is a strong correlation between obesity and sleep apnea. I talked with a surgeon once, and he felt my apnea was related to my obesity, and until I handled that, any surgery would not do much good. I saw a sleep specialist and he said half his patients hate him and half lov...

Prayers and best wishes to you and the bull frog, CF.
It definitely helps to have someone to go through these challenges with.

What was your higher AHI composed of in terms of event categories??? In other words how much of the AHI was 1...central index 2...obstructive apnea index 3...hyponeas what brand and model machine are you using? Hi Pugsy Ha I have no idea about any of the things your asking. I really have never had ...

I just go back from a trip the South Dakota. Here at home my altitude is 465 feet. In South Dakota the altitude was 4000 feet. This is the first time I traveled with the cpap where the altitude changed so drastically. I have been using a cpap at least 30 years. My normal episodes run around 1 or 2 ...

Hello! First time poster here. Quick Facts: Machine: Still waiting for my Dreamstation replacement. For now I have a cheap machine, Apex XT FIT (Not capable of storing data) Mask: Using both Dreamware nasal and full-face mask. I have tried a handful of nasal masks. Monitoring equipment: Using both ...

I use a DreamStation Auto BiPAP machine with humidifier with a heated hose. I use a Resmed Airfit N20 nasal mask. I fill the humidifier with distilled water, set the humidifier setting to 3 (of 5), set the heated hose to 4 (of 5). I wake up with lots of droplets of water in the mask. I'm amazed I'm...

I'm amazed at how many people THINK they need to run their autoPAPs in ranges of pressures.......when a single/fixed pressure just might be the solution to good therapy and sleep.

If you haven't tried it, maybe you should. it MIGHT be the answer you're lookng for.

Zombie thread alert folks . WOW! I GUESS SO!!! "I see/(saw) dead people"`....... (that was the clue) But, to those who are stupid enough to think it is a scam......there are MILLIONS of us users who KNOW it is NOT! I had a stupid sleep doctor, too, but I immediately took control of my own therapy a...

Your reply is spot on. I am embarrassed to admit it, but the problem was a loose connection at the brick. I am embarrassed bc I am a 22-year retired Aviation Electrician, USN. Been troubleshooting electrical problems all my life. The brick has a shroud around it where the plug connects, so the phys...

Estimate that I will have to refill about once a week. Would seem easier to just top off the tank every night??? I have no idea how much time it took to put that contraption together, but with my old Legacy humidifier tank which holds over 400 ml, and using cool, passover humidification (which mean...

Not only is this why many of us have backup machineS ( multiple) but we also plug them into battery backup UPSes.
I suggest in your case you sleep in a recliner in a semi upright position until you can gt your problem remedied
And, don't let this situation happen again.

I have been on CPAP therapy for over seventeen years and I purchased my initial setup and supplies from CPAP.Com which my PPO insurance provider reimbursed me for 80% of the cost. Ever since then, I have purchased EVERY machine and ALL of my supplies "out-of-pocket". Some from private individuals an...

Now with hot humid weather id like to cool the air instead of heat it as in winter. I have the humidifier turned off as i dont need or want it on now. I experimented with putting only some mini ice cubes in water container and leaving the humidifier off. THis still somehow added more unneeded and u...

I have been on my cpap (ResMed 10) for about 6 months now, and I can honestly say that I am so happy that I finally did this. I have become so used to the machine that I probably wouldn't be able to sleep without it anymore. It's a new machine so I know it will work for a long time. But it got me t...
