Hi Sylvie, sorry to read your having difficulty. Leaks take time to get under control, I went through 3 different masks, before I finally got leaks under control. Oh yes, I had lot's of frustrations during adjustment phases, but at the same time noticed lot's of improvements as well, even minor one'...

Hi Dori, long time friend, hope life is treating you/hubby well? I did have some major struggles in the beginning, whining/crying on a daily basis, Lol !!!! But all the wonderful folks at the forum educate/support me, helping me get my apnea under control. It's not an overnight process, that's for s...

Hi friends, been a long time since I visit, for reason being cpap treatments went well for a long time. While on my journey using data, I discovered the key reason as to why I began to feel better. Once I achieved zero leaks, AHI decreased rapidly, stayed below 1 persistently for weeks,. I was sleep...

When I first began using cpap, for several months or more, I woke up every 2-3 hrs, then 4 hrs, then 6 hrs, most times for no apparent reason, other then just waking up, as time past I began to sleep more soundly, now I'm sleeping 8-9 hrs solid. You may be just going through an adjustment phase. Sle...

Making progress, AHI is decreased from 8.6 to 2.2,. No more burping. Sleeping solid 8 hrs, sure to see better numbers as my throat heals

Hi friend, if filter is thinner, then you could alway's use two for piece of mind. Only way to truly know is, contact whomever distributes your filter. All my filters have been the same size S8,. Wishing you well on your journey.

Hi friend, tbh I have no idea, how to interpret sleep study data, but if your not comfortable with your sleep doctors analysis, you could alway's send your report to another sleep specialist for interpretation. In the world we live in, nothing is impossible my friend. good luck to you, hopefully som...

Talked to sleep doc yesterday, got me in for appt today. She reviewed data, said I was maxing out at 11 alot since surgery, possibly due to throat swelling. She changed my pressure to 7-14,. She said, if I'm still burping, once my throat heals after a month, schedule another appt. Oh, she also said ...

Looks to me your leak rate is out of control, along with AHI,. Need to figure out why? you take off mask or mask is coming off, try to get your leak rates down, that would be my first approach

Yes, you're not giving things time to recover and there's more going on in that area than you might realize and you don't want to aggravate them... I would definitely talk to the surgeon, or at least my own doctor about what you're doing when... it could be weeks before things settle down and you c...

Hi, sorry cpap is not working to your benefit. We all go through an adjustment phase in the beginning. Mask off/on can effect, quality of sleep. Any reason why, your taking mask off? Quattro takes time getting used to. Lot's of help at the forum, will get you on the right track, hang in there.

Wow ! After thyroid surgery my AHI shot up ! AHI 6.0 !! Pressure set to 7-11,. Pressure median = 10.4,. Night prior to surgery AHI 2.3, straight pressure 11,. Leaks zero both sleep nights. Very strange AHI increased, now I have no throat obstruction. Maybe my throat needs time to heal after surgery,...

Hi friend, hope your doing well? The big block, my surgeon referred to it as cow heart Thanx friend, I agree Going to try auto tonight, see what happens.

Hi friend, sorry to read your having difficulty with clinic. There is no excuse for a clinic not to contact patient back. My primary has contact me back every time I've called him, even just to ask a question, the past few yrs. If your doctor forgot prescribing you medications, or doesn't take the t...

Question 2: I've been tested for diabetes several times over the past couple of years. I've had gym related injuries and because I'm larger than my Japanese friends the doctors always assume something is wrong. Well, in the summer just as I was starting CPAP I have a H1ac level of 5.3 (Well in the ...
