Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

ROBYSUE1 WROTE: How long have you been dealing with aerophagia? Thank you for responding, robysue. I just noticed "what I assumed" was some aerophagia last night for the first time (that I can remember). I assumed it was aerophagia because I was burping & feeling an uncomfortable pressure in my ches...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

Well, last night I had a terrible night. I had back pain that hurt sleeping on both my R and L sides . . . and I was trying to endure the pain & AVOID going supine! Therefore, I was extremely restless ALL night, and barely got to the 4-hour mark on my machine so I could use OSCAR. So any data is, n...

Re: CPAP use is triggering PVCs

OKIE BIPAP WROTE: As Pugsy said, you do not always notice PACs or PVCs. I was diagnosed with PAC several years ago, and my cardiologist changed the diagnoses to PVC three years ago. I have never noticed any thing when they happen. The only way I know they are happening is if they show up when I chec...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

PUGSY WROTE: What I would do is start with the obvious that needs some work....that minimum and those maybe FLs. Reduce your AHI kind of thing and then once you have that part of your therapy a little better manage THEN maybe play with soft vs standard and see if it changes anything or not. That sou...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

PUGSY WROTE: Which mask were you using? The P10???? You know some of that leak could simply be mask movement ...and some could be the tape coming loose. If it were my report ..and those leaks didn't really cause much in terms of wake ups...I don't know that I would do much worrying about them. I kno...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

PUGSY WROTE: That big chunk from 4:30 on is gray because you have highlighted the time before 4:30 and the screen shot was taken with that section after 4:30 being omitted and the graphs all below the 4:30 time frame don't include the details. Now there is a bit of a large leak but it doesn't really...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

PUGSY WROTE: Do you ever sleep on your back? The clustering of the flagged events makes me think of REM or supine sleeping or maybe a combination of both. I don't think it is solely REM related though. First REM doesn't normally last all that long. Sorry, Pugsy, I forgot to answer this question in m...

Re: HELP needed for 13-yr CPAP user!

FINALLY . . . LAST NIGHT'S "PROPER" & AGGRESSIVE TAPING SOLVED THE HORRID LARGE LEAK PROBLEM I'VE BEEN HAVING!!!! IN OSCARS Statistics, last night's 95% Leak rate was 8.40 . . . compared with the Last Week's 40.80 -- So, I've learned that I've become a "big-time" mouth-breather who needs to continu...

I just looked here https://document.resmed.com/documents/p ... er_eng.pdf
You have an outlet but it doesn’t say it’s removable like the as11 so maybe that’s not the issue?
Yes, Lynn, it IS removable, but I have never removed it as some people do to clean it.
