I am new to this, so I can only give you my experience. I just had my sleep study last month (without machine and with machine, same night). My index was 78.9. Also severe. With my sleep study, they had me using a machine that either went up automatically, or they could adjust it. I don't know how i...

I doubt it. I'm considered obese and my pressure is only seven. I also get a kick out of wearing a size small mask since that is the only time I ever wear a size small. I had a laugh about that myself this past Monday. I have a small mask and medium headgear. I haven't worn a medium anything in pro...

From reading this discussion, I must consider myself fortunate. My primary doctor referred me to a sleep lab and followup doctor. I got to see the summary of results from the sleep doctor to my primary doctor 2 days before my followup as I already had an appointment scheduled. The summary already st...

ResMed machines do start a new day and new tracking period at noon and when you look at the onscreen data..it will change to a new day at noon...so if you sleep till 12:30 PM...you have 0.5 hour showing. No big deal. It all shows in the software. There is a way to go back to a previous session in t...

zoocrewphoto, nice looking cat. Welcome to the forum. You have gotten good advice- read, read, read. Be careful about covering the machine with a towel- it may be fine, I understand you don't want the cat to mess it up. The machine has to have good airflow around it to work properly. Your towel may...

Is there a way to change the machine so that a reported day is not noon to noon? I am a severe night owl and sleep past noon almost every day. If I can't change the "date" change time, then I will have to change the time setting of the machine which will then incorrectly report all my times. That me...

It took me awhile, but I got Rescan up and running, and it finally generated a report for me. It shows I have used it for a total of 10 hours and 4 minutes, which is correct. I have no idea why the screen on the actual machine told me 0.6 hours for last time and 0/1 days for greater than 4 hours. It...

When I took the nap, it did show 1.5 hours. And the last time, after the interuption, was a little over 5 1/2 hours. So, it should have shown something. I can't imagine how it came up with 0.6 hours. I'm going to try and get the software up and running. My computer deleted my volume icon yesterday, ...

Thank you for the replies. I'm really glad to find this forum. I was actually doing a search on google about adapting a night stand into a cpap holder. I am hoping to find a small night stand type piece of furniture that will fit under the desk that is already next to my bed. There is space there, a...

Have you asked anybody you know if they know anybody with sleep apnea? I am really surprised to find out that a lot of people I know have it. Most are not local, but my mom is. She doesn't use her equipment as often as she should, and I know that the reasons are mainly her own fault. She has been ha...

. They also gave me another tank which has a stainless steel base which only requires tap water and can be place in the dishwasher machine. You should be using distilled water in both units. You can get a serious respiratory infection from breathing the things floating around in ordinary tap water....

HI, I am new to cpap. I Have known for years that I have sleep apnea. Family and friends who have shared hotel rooms with me have told me that I snore badly, and that I sound scary. My mom has had a cpap machine for almost 20 years. I listened to her experiences with the sleep lab, and I watched her...
