Re: I recently got a CPAP machine and I'm still exhausted
You are struggling to breathe through your nose, you get congestion, you have "narrow nasal passages", your ENT "recently suggested that I get surgery to make it easier to breathe through my nose...", and you're using a nasal mask, i.e. one that will only supply air through you compromised nasal pa...

Re: Chin strap + TMJ
Last night I had both the humidity and heated tubing on and the popping sounds were continuous and loud. It was horrible. I had my machine on the ground but it would still pop. :-/ Could it be there was water trapped at the low level of the hose making the popping sound? Really It turns out there w...

Re: I recently got a CPAP machine and I'm still exhausted
How many hours of sleep (real sleep and not just laying in bed with mask/machine on) are you getting? Are those hours of sleep fragmented with a lot of wake ups? Do you take any medications of any kind? Even OTC? Is so, what? Any other physical or mental health issues going on? Between 7 and 9 hour...

Re: I recently got a CPAP machine and I'm still exhausted
I've been using a Luna G3 CPAP machine with nasal pillow for 12 days now and I'm still waking up exhausted every morning. I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I actually wasn't told if it's obstructive, central, or complex, but I'm assuming it's obstructive because I struggle to breathe out of my...

Re: Chin strap + TMJ
you have to turn the heat up in the tube at the same time as the humidity or you will get rainout. if it doesn’t bother you in hot shower it probably won’t bother you with higher temperatures and humidity. jmho Last night I had both the humidity and heated tubing on and the popping sounds were cont...

Re: Can climate affect sleep apnea? [a word about threads too]
Sleep apnea and insomnia are not the same thing. Age can affect sleep apnea, as can weight gain. Please stick to one thread - it makes it easier for us to understand what's going on with you and your CPAP therapy. You can alway edit the specific subject of a post on your thread before you press "su...

Re: Chin strap + TMJ
I am unsure which mask you use. P10? Have you had any decent nights? Is it possible you have the crispy crus that’s going around right now? Has it been different since you started? (trying to figure if it’s transient or more long lasting like an allergy as Miss Emerita rightly suggested). I use the...

Can climate affect sleep apnea?
I'm starting to wonder if there's a connection between Louisiana and my newly diagnosed sleep apnea. I lived in Connecticut for almost 29 years and Maine for just about 7 months and I never had trouble sleeping. I moved to Louisiana in late March of 2017 and by January 2018 I was on social media dis...

Chin strap + TMJ
I've had my CPAP machine for 31 days now. I have been waking up exhausted every single morning, just as I had before the CPAP therapy. I noticed that the report always says I had a lot of leak (average 8.1 L/min, but it's been as high as 12 L/min) and I tend to breathe through my mouth because of pr...
