Thanks to all of your responses. I just last week raised my pressure from 9 to 9.8 and actually slept for almost 8 hrs which is very abnormal for me. I guess it's a good thing then and not only did I start getting more sleep over the lawst few days, but lower my numbers are lower making me feel bett...

I was titrated at the hospital during my sleep study and they perscribed me at a pressure of 9 which wasn't enough and using the Resmed s8 series howeer it was set at straight Cpap and not Auto. I raised the pressure on my own to 9.8, thanks to the people here who advised me how to do it, and I have...

I don't know when I'm dreaming, but I do not that they are not good dreams. I can remember 2 to 3 differenct one per night sometimes. I was actually going to mention it to my doctor. The dreams that I do remember are troublesome in some way or another, never anything good.

Does that mean something?

I have a question. They say the normal average adult should sleep at least 8 hrs but I very seldom sleep that much.

I normally sleep between 5.5 and 6.5. Is that truly not enough, medically?

I didn't have dizziness however a feeling of being very off balance. As though I was leaning towards one side.


I didn't have that with the nose mask or the ff, only with the nasal.

Happy Easter to all of you Hose-heads!

It takes a lot of adjusting to therapy. From dry mouth to not feeling like your breathing right to a sore nose and maybe even a still back. There is alot of advice out here for any particular problem you may incur starting therapy. I have had the sore nose, dry mouth and face, and even a stiff back....

I just wanted to thank everyone out there for their knowledge and advice. I have been on CPAP for 5 weeks and last week, (thanks to you guys) I increased my pressure from 9.0 to 9.8 and have not felt tired enough during the day to want to nap. I can think straight and feel energetic again! Thank you...

Welcome! I am also new to Cpap, about 5 weeks now. You will get used to it, I promise. I have woken up a few times thinking it wasn't working but it was actually because I am getting used to it. At first it feels like too much air is coming in and you have a hard time breathing out but you do have t...

I have always been fit and gained 17 lbs in the year before I was diagnosed with OSA.

I have read the OSA throws off chemicals in your brain that lead to weight gain.

Alicia, I too read the same thing however on more than one website. I also read more than one review where people had unexplained wight gain a year before they were diagnosed with osa. That would be me! I have never been more than 137 lbs. always maintained my weight between 132 and 137, however thi...

I use the Ultra Mirage full face mask and wake up at least twice a night becuae my mouth is so dry. I have to drink lots of water to get rid of it.


I am losing faith in therapy and have only been on it for a month now.

I personally think it's a little too much to have to even think about taping your mouth shut using a FF mask. I currently us the Mirage Ultra full face mask and when my mouth opens while I'm sleeping, the unGodly noise wakes me with the seal flapping against my face. Much worse when I'm on my back. ...
