Hi, I also have pulmonary hypertension. According to echocardiagram pressure before cpap was in the 35 to 37 range. My cardiologist is the one that kept after me to get the sleep study done and get on cpap. He said my pumonary hypertension would probably improve with cpap use. I have only been on cp...

Hi, I am currently using a Hybrid for the last week. I have tried the Quattro and other ffm and am really liking the hybrid, although it is a little noisier than some of the others. The nose pillows seal great and the lower mask goes below the chin and keeps a good seal and I am mouth breathing less...

Thanks so much Den, I was going nuts trying to figure out why it wasn't showing. Sigh of relief. When I can do it financially, maybe in a year, I plan on getting an APAP. Dr won't ok it for insurance to pay. She thinks straight Cpap is best, even when I told her that you can use the APAP in Cpap mod...

Thank you for all your encouragement to experiment. My AHI last night was 2.3, a little higher, but I do remember waking up on my back once last night. Again woke up rested. ClayL, hope you get your pressure sorted out too. During my titration I was only on one side or the other. But, the Dr. did pr...

I have an M series Pro cpap machine with software and reader. On the daily reports I notice some people show a graph and below the graph there is a Daily Events per Hour. I get the graphs, but not the Daily events per hour. My software report doesn't have that. The software is Encore viewer 1.0.0.00...

Hi, I have been on cpap for almost a month using a Mseries Pro cpap with software & reader. I am using a Mirage Quattro ffm and am on a prescribed pressure of 15. I have been having trouble with masks leaking and making noise and not resting. I have ordered a new mask which has not arrived yet. Last...

Anne, I use a small Quattro as well. I just ordered the hybrid with all sizes included from CPAP.com. I will let you know how it works for me after I receive it and use it a few nights. I should get it in about three days. I know the cpap therapy is working, but I sure would like to increase my comf...

Hi Anne, I have tried the cold cloth in the am too. My eyes are pretty close set, so maybe the nose bridge part of the mask is putting too much pressure against the tissue of the eyes. I am thinking of trying the hybrid mask, since I mouth breath when asleep. Hi Dreamdiver, I wake up on my side and ...

Hi, I have been having really puffy areas around my eyes since being on cpap. I am using the Mirage Quattro ffm and don't seem to be having leaks around the eye area, not noticible ones anyway. My leak rate is within normal range for this mask. Have never had a problem waking with this problem befor...

Thanks Georgio, I am still hanging in there. This afternoon I got out the Mirage Quattro again and finally got the top straps adjusted with the cushion away from my face until the air pressure came through, then let it fall against my face, then adjusted the bottom strap. I layed down turning from s...

Hi again, I seem to be tolerating the pressure of 15 on straight cpap with cflex set to 3, so I think I will stay with the machine I have. What is causing me the most problems is the noise of the leaking of the mask. The air noise and the "farting" noise, then I spend however much time it takes to a...

Hi Jeff, you really made me laugh about the sleep study analogy. I will try lowering the ramp time tonight to about 30 minutes. My falling asleep time varies. I don't really know what the mask leak numbers mean. I know there is an intentional leak rate, but I didn't see anywhere in the software to l...

Georgio, thank you for your response. I hope to learn enough to manage my therapy. Mike, thanks for all the information. I got my first nights info printed, but will have to do a search to figure out how to post it. Slinky, yes I am old enough to know that song. I got my first nights data and will p...

156 minutes of sleep during diagnostic portion of sleep study. 10% in stage 1, 90% in stage 2, none in slow wave sleep, none in REM. Respiratory events: 14 apneas and 282 hypopneas with an AHI of 113.5, respiratory disturbance of RDI 125.7 Oxygen saturation data: minimum oxygen saturation during sle...

Hi, wasn't sure whether to start a new thread. I have been using cpap for about 1 1/2 weeks. I started with a fp nasal mask, but was breathing through my mouth too much, even with a chin strap. Went back in to my DME, they have a very small amount of masks to try. They set me up with a FP431 full fa...
