Yeah, this polling system limits to 10 choices, so I couldn't add everything or an "other." Wish it didn't have that limitation.

My wife insisted I see my doctor after she woke up during the night and noticed I wasn't breathing--it scared her, she thought I'd died! Wondering what prompted other folks here to go to the doc, leading to a sleep study and sleep apnea diagnosis. http://a1149861.sites.myregisteredsite.com/sleepstu...

My Icon auto vpap only has one filter! Has anyone tried inline filters? Does that work even with heated tubes? (they have a projection for the heating coils to connect to the plug in the base) Thanks, Never tried the inline filter with my APAP, due to this from cpap.com-- Auto Adjusting CPAP Machin...

Does anyone know anything about this? Was new to me, sounds like it might [NOT] have merit (?)

Leading Medical Specialists From Around the World Coalesce Around Self-Tonometry Ultimately, I think we'll need to be able to monitor this at home, as we do with xPAP data and with pulse/oximeters. This organization, International Society for Self-Tonometry (ISST), seems to be working toward this e...

Whoa. Here it is again.

Saw this on another forum--never heard of this before, so wondering if anyone knows if this is a real concern-- Just heard from a sleep tech that her sleep center, located within a highly prestigious hospital in one of America's largest and most affluent metropolitan centers, fills patients humidif...

http://a1149861.sites.myregisteredsite.com/welkom4.gif Hello & Welcome, teach33! Glad you found this forum—SO much useful info and everyone here is so willing to help! You're lucky to have found this forum as you begin CPAP—took me almost year before I found this place and, with the help of folks h...

I use my APAP in auto mode, range from 14-18, so none of the choices really fit.

After reading the study and doing some additional googling, I called a friend with OSA and asked if her eye doctor knew she had OSA and if he had ever discussed with her the increased incidence of Glaucoma in OSA patients. She said he had mentioned it and that he checked her pressure at annual appo...

Hmm. You might be correct. For now, I'm going to stay with the 79 cents each when ordering 50 filters. That's less than $2/month, so pretty affordable.

What will you breathe the 2/3 of your day that you aren't on CPAP? Hold your breath? Good point! But, at least with the fine filters, much less dirt is building up day after day, month after month, year after year, inside your CPAP machine. I think the fine filters probably help to extend machine l...

Thanks, Rip for posting the article. In the post, Long-term Effects, Lizitired bought up the link in reference to my concern about glaucoma and corneal dryness from the CPAP. It's interesting that these Belgian researchers recommend visual fields, plus the usual eye pressure (IOP) testing and looki...
