Does this make sense? FF felt different in am...

Post by 32blownhemi » Sun Mar 11, 2018 8:40 pm

Is this just a fluke thing or ? Or am I thinking crazy stuff? I wore my F10 FF last night for the first time. When I woke up I was dizzy, tireder, with sort of a headache. I've only been on a CPAP machine for 10 days, first 9 on a nose mask (N-20). So I really don't know what to expect. I was thinking maybe carbon dioxide wasn't getting out of my mask? My air setting is 7... Oh, the holes in my mask look big for exhaling... Thank You! Bill

I'm glad you're trying more than one type of mask. Try both (and maybe some others) and see what you like best.

What does the Software show? Post data. It's hard to guess without data. Jim

Sometimes when people go from a nasal interface mask to a full face mask they end up needing a little more pressure with the full face mask than they were doing well with when using the nasal mask.

Use available software and see what the results were for last night with the new mask.

Thank You Everyone! How do I access my data? I signed up at Res/Med.com/myAir for their My Air report but I don't think that's what you want. It gave me a score of 90 out of 100. 13 hours usage 70/70... Adjust mask seal 15/20... 6 events per hour 5/5... 8 mask on/off 0/5... The report that I see on my machine has already clicked to today because I've been wearing it with the N-20 today. Are you talking about the AHI ? LEAK ? or ? ... Bill

Talking about both AHI and leak.

I forget...are you one of the recent new member without access to a computer to use SleepyHead to see the detailed data available on your machine?

If you aren't one of those people...get SleepyHead.

Got as far as the part where I need to put an SD card into my machine. I'll get one tomorrow. I opened the 2 covers on the left side of my machine. There are 2 slots, which one holds the SD card & SD card should I get? I'm not real good with modern technology... Thank You! Bill

The top slot is for SD card.
The bottom slot is for oxygen device adapter thing.

Any generic SD card will work. Get as small as you can find in terms of GB size and even then it will be bigger than you need.
I use a cheap Sandisk 8GB card I got at Walmart and it works fine.

The SD card will need to be in the machine all night to get the detailed information and graphs. Only summary data is stored in the memory.
