Re: Please help, breathing digestive acid into my lungs?
Hi - someone else will reply with more info re using the machine in different scenarios, but as far as the acid goes, it is common with apnea, but you're not breathing it in even if it feels that way, and what many of us do is take something before bed to deal with it... I perosnally use e.g. half a...

Were you retested or how do you know your apnea is gone?

No it's not!
You must take everything VERY seriously or you'll be punished!

Re: Dry mouth, throat, nasal passages
Are you on any new meds? Are you using a humidifier? Are you in a new place where humidity is lower than old place? Some hints would be helpful, like which model of what machine, what pressures, etc. etc. Can you download Oscar (see Stickies) and provide some info?

Re: Elderly back sleeping mom, new ASV
Would she be willing to try wearing some kind of backpack (even a fanny pack thing) to keep her from flipping when asleep?

Re: CPAP making things worse
If you can manage not to sleep on your back, your hypopneas should lessen by a lot. Try it for a few nights and you might just be surprised.

Re: I think I don´t sleep well, Oximeter readings comparisong while sleeping
Can you please go to your Profile and add which model of what machine you use? And what mask? Then download (free) Oscar from the Stickies at the top of the page and post results in this thread... if it won't work (things are full here) then use e.g. Imgur.com and put a link here to those results.

Re: Humidifier heating element heats up when water runs out
Not sure what you're asking about being 'normal', but of course since the heat applies to the water in the tub, the tub will overheat (and stink) if water's used up - so don't let it go dry, or make sure to refill if it does.

Re: (New member) Aerophagia and Fragmented Sleep
And I was thinking to raise your max pressure because it looks like it's 'capping' the min. that might want to go higher to deal with obstructives... aerophagia aside for the moment. I don't understand why your min. and max are overlapping on Oscar. I suppose you could try both ideas because leaving...

Re: Epr and flow limitations
Does it matter why it happens?
I would just set the min. pressure a bit higher and maybe it will help.

Re: Cleaning (AGAIN???)
99% of us never (or soo rarely) clean the hoses - nothing but air ever goes thru them at any time.
