Re: Very unhappy morning

Why is the data top secret even from me? The settings and reports are easy to access - https://www.google.com/search?q=change+pressure+on+airsense+11&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS911US911&oq=change+pressue&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCQgDEAAYDRiABDIGCAAQRRg5MgkIARAAGA0YgAQyCQgCEAAYDRiABDIJCAMQABgNGIAEMgkIBBAAGA0YgAQyCQ...

Re: Lowenstein algorithm for early inhalation

The timing of breathes make it very hard to fall asleep with it. When I had problems like this, the solution was distracting my mind from breathing. Think of a pleasant, quiet activity. For me, it was lying on a beach on a warm day under an umbrella with a gentle breeze and the gentle sound of surf...

I have attached all of the data and graphs from my daily view on OSCAR.
Please post those charts. A simple adjustment might resolve the problem.

It's actually easier to post links to SleepHQ - see "free account" in my signature. Keep using OSCAR for your personal analysis.

Re: Highest total hours?

An older thread, but thought I would post anyway. My Resmed S7 has 49,863 hours on it. I've had it since sometime in the early 2000's. About 10 or 12 years ago, I put a relatively new fan in it that I bought on eBay. It's starting to get a bit noisy, though. Might be time for a new machine, but my ...

Well, you've made a post and now a comment in the thread.

Try editing the subject line and commenting on the CPAP issue you are dealing with.

Re: CPAP Newbie

The issue is trying to figure out how to sleep with the mask on as while sleeping my mouth will open and the air 'blasts' into my mouth, waking me up. Don't get discouraged. This is a common problem, and the members can help with solutions. Nasal-only masks cover the nose and not the mouth. Full-fa...

Re: Possible to transfer data from Oscar to provider?

And now I find that they charge $300 for their "Care for Life" program -- $149 if you buy a mask. As if their mark-up on the equipment isn't enough! What a racket. Which DME is this? It's OK to reveal in this forum. Someone may have experience with them that can help you. BTW, is this DME in your i...

Re: Possible to transfer data from Oscar to provider?

The new provider asked me to have the previous one send my data to her, which was not done (and likely won't be done). I have data on Oscar (previously on Sleepyhead) dating back to 2017. If your new DME is competent, they have the software to read your compliance data off your SD card. They wouldn...

Re: Kind of scared, split sleep study again after almost 20 years on PAP

When I got my official diagnosis, "second sleep test" my doctor said it was “profoundly severe” obstructive sleep apnea. I’m not ok with spending any time “asleep” without the support of my machine so they can experiment. For insurance purposes, you need to make sure your diagnosis of sleep apnea s...

Re: AirFit F30i Leakage

at higher pressures (7+), the air starts to blow out of the bottom part of the mask that surrounds my mouth (it's just a soft flap of plastic and the air just starts pushing through that flap). The rest of the headgear is fairly tight already, so I'm not sure what more can be done to stop the leak....
