Sorry. Replied on my phone and it apparently has old username which I forgot I had. Just pointing out I don't have a furnace or rugs. I have woodfloor.

Re: Safe to add extra air filter? Filter mod question.

A lot of interesting stuff here. I am positive the odor is my dirty filter and nothing else, as the smell is immediately gone upon paper filter change. I suppose I will rinse my foam filter more often to see if it helps prolong the paper filter from bothering my nose. Thanks This was previously sai...

Re: why do I rip my mask off in sleep and cpap questions?

I'm going to post my screenshots later. My ahi was around 5 last night. One thing I've noticed is when i am breathing if i have any sort of change in breath in the very slightest, my uvula in my throat gets sucked backward. I can feel it create a weird sudden vacuum. It only lasts a split second but...

Re: why do I rip my mask off in sleep and cpap questions?

I'll use sleepyhead until I'm dialed in and running smooth. At that point id rather just glance at dreamapper. It still is not syncing data to it. I'm wondering if for that to work, a provider has to have registered my device to them? It has no provider since i bought off amazon. Is my theory correc...

Re: why do I rip my mask off in sleep and cpap questions?

Dreamapper will tell me what kind of apneas I had. However, it still has not updated yet on my app or web browser.... It's 12:15pm my time and i did set the time correctly on my machine. Not sure why it's not updated yet. Yes. I am aware that DreamMapper is supposed to show the kind of events but a...

Re: why do I rip my mask off in sleep and cpap questions?

I had my min pressure set to 7. I think I need to raise my min to 9 to try and lower that ahi a bit? Most likely..yes BUT what is that AHI made up of? If it is mostly OAs and hyponeas yeah, raise the pressure minimum BUT if mostly Clear Airway events then no...raising that minimum won't help and mi...

Re: recommended sleep study clinics in nyc

You might try sending a private message to forum member, jnk. I seem to remember that he lives in NYC. I have moved upstate. But for unique provider reasons, I got my sleep testing done at a lab near Englewood NJ, even though I lived in Brooklyn at the time. Oh ok. Is it accessable by train from Ma...

Re: Results of pulse oximeter use - Interesting findings!

I just used my pulse oximeter for the first time and also have interesting findings. I purchased an fda approved pulse oximeter CMS 50-F and just used it for the first time. I only slept 4 hours but it seems to work well. I wanted to see what my oxygen saturation without cpap is since I lost a coupl...
