Re: Any smartwatches that RECORD heart rate all night?

I'm currently wearing the Fitbit Versa. It records heart rate 24/7. How often does the fitbit read your heart rate? every 5 seconds??? No. I doubt you'll find anything short of a medical device that records heart rate every five seconds. That would be a tremendous drain on battery too. IIRC, Fitbit...

Re: Windows 7 64bits Resmed Problems ACR38

I know this is an old thread, but I'm looking for a card reader for my Auto V25, and wonder if anyone knows of a current source for these? I see one of the resmed version on ebay for $99, but haven't found the unbranded model or any less expensive source for the resmed version yet. I have the Redme...

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

I save the small padded envelopes I receive and just reuse them, so I don't often have to buy them. I've received a couple pillows in plain white envelopes with no padding at all. The pillows arrived a bit misshapen, but they did recover. Still, I wouldn't recommend sending pillows in regular envelo...

Re: Nasal congestion with pillows

It's all about money. A brick is cheaper than a CPAP that provides efficacy data. And that's cheaper than an auto that provides efficacy data. Most insurances pay a set amount no matter which machine you get, so most DMEs will give you the cheapest machine they can ... unless your doc specifies a sp...

Re: Which machines do you use and would recommend?

I've had several Resmed S8 machines, Elite, Autoset II, and now the VPAP Auto 25. I recently picked up an IntelliPAP Auto on sale to use for travel. But I like it so well and seem to do a lot better with the IntelliPAP's algorithm, so I've put the Resmed in the closet. I'd buy the IntelliPAP again i...

Re: Nasal congestion with pillows

I asked and was told that the Rescan modem gave more info than usage. The modem can and will transmit any and all data the machine gathers. If the machine doesn't record anything but hours of use then the modem can't transmit something the machine doesn't record. Ask your DME to prove it. Show some...

Re: Nasal congestion with pillows

Sounds like your allergies are flaring up, causing congestion. I have the same problem, and I've been on xPAP for 2.5 years. Have you tried the Resmed "hypoallergenic" filters? They have an extra fine filter layer on the machine-side of the filter, and it helps to filter out extra fine particles. Wh...

Re: Sleep Apnea causing mental symptoms

I was still noticing improvement two years after I started CPAP, but having significant health problems other than OSA, my docs attributed all my symptoms to my existing diagnoses. As a result, I'd *really* hit bottom. They'd ruled everything new out, or so we thought. One day I felt so rotten I act...

FYI: Mailing Tip for Newbie Pillow Traders

The USPS charges extra postage to mail items more than 1/4-inch in thickness. Thus it costs $1.71 to mail one pillow via first class mail within the US. (I simply apply four first-class stamps to avoid a trip to the post office.) For more info, you can calculate postage here: http://postcalc.usps.go...

Re: Bed Shopping Recommendations?

I'm a side sleeper, and I vote for Select Comfort. I bought mine on sale back in 2000, and I'm still extremely happy with it. I saved a few bucks by buying the wired controls rather than the wireless. My bed is pretty simple. The only extra I went for was the pillow top, which has been well worth th...
