Re: Please Help! Chipmunk cheeks waking me up despite taping mouth shut

P10 or Bleep, Cervical Collar, Head Band across mouth and cheeks. Collar holds head band in place.

No Chipmunk Cheeks, at least for me. Head band will also restrict mouth breathing (loss of Therapy Pressure). :D

YMMV.

Re: Central Apnea-Is It Normal To Stop Breathing More Than 30 Minutes At a Time?

LOL:-) very true. The power of anonymity behind a keyboard. All it takes is an infinite level of inanity and denseness, complemented by a dull sense of self-importance.:-) Good to see one focusing in on one's problems.

Re: Central Apnea-Is It Normal To Stop Breathing More Than 30 Minutes At a Time?

When one "Googles":
"Is it normal" for full cessation of involuntary breathing (Central Apnea) to last for periods in excess of 30 minutes?
First hit is:

Why do people laugh in their sleep?

Pretty darn appropriate. :D

Re: Not getting any moisture despite humidity setting 8

The OP has solved her problem. It's time for a certain member to buzz off. Yeah, the member's passive/aggressive style of derailing a thread has become very old. Posting a phony concern about a pertinent post (like Dog Slobber's) acting like it has a legitimate question about the post. Then acting ...

I think we've all experienced significant evaporation rates (from the tank) when the moisturized air never gets to the respiratory system.
Interested in how how you know that or give rise to the OPs complaint.

Could you expand on that?

Re: Switched from PR System1 to ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset

You know, I knew this guy that lived half way up a hill that had an outhouse at the top of that hill. Every time he needed to relive himself, he would walk to the bottom of the hill and run to the outhouse at the top. When asked why he did that, he said that was how all his family members did it (ab...

Re: Does active usage of cpap lower resting heart rate?

Not using CPAP for apnea can lower it even more...in most people.

Many have lowered it to zero. :wink:
