I had rescan and my computer crashed. Hoping to get rescan again. Anyone that can help me. Thanks in advance

I have an auto pap. 9 to 20. My pressure varies each night. my apnea is 1.6 per hour average for the last three weeks. The apap therapy is optimal. I will take the drugs because I do not want to fall asleep behind the wheel. They have me on Ritalin now and I will change to Provigil as soon as insura...

I have been on apap for 18 months. I still feel like falling asleep behind the wheel. My sleep Dr. prescribe a CNS stimulant. Has anyone needed this? How long do you need to be on them? I am much more awake on the pills but not sure I like taking them

I have an apap machine. The Dr. first used it to titrated me since my night for titration could not come up with a sweet spot. She then, based on the information from rescan put me on CPAP at 8. Thee would be one or two night a week I woke up feeling like I was suffocating. When I told my sleep Dr. ...

If you have trouble breathing through your nose use a full face mask. I switch and I am happy I did. An allergist Dr. might help increase your comfort with breathing through your nose. As to wearing a mask it is mind over matter. I just told myself I can and will wear a mask every moment I sleep. If...

The part of sleep hygiene my Dr. stress was to get up at the same time every day. At first that was a killer. 5 am came too early but on work days I need to be up at that time to go to work. So every day off day, work day or vacation day I get up at 5. It is becoming easier but the greatest part of ...

If you use two card the discard is very important. It copys what is on the card in the machine so if you have a couple days on a different card they would be erased. I have two card so when I mail it into the DME I can continue getting data

I empty mine every morning but since I do daily sinus rinses I use the water that is left for that.

Yes you should let your Dr. know. I was set at 5 and felt suffocated. Then my Dr. raised it to 7. I know some people on this board sleep with the pressure at 4. When talking to your Dr. question why he stopped at 10. Usually you should be a point higher than your CPAP measurement. I feel your pressu...

I agree he is a keeper. I have found sleep hygiene has helped. I hate 5 in the morning but I now am more mentally with it all day. I love sleep Dr. who look at the whole picture. I was surprised how a scheduled sleep increases energy and mental alertness

[quote][/quote]chunkyfrog on Mon Oct 11, 2010 7:43 pm I just hate 'professionals' who feel threatened by patients who know what's going on. I don't think professionals hate patient that know what is going on. The people on this board are an exception to the rule. We have many patient come in to the ...

My mask fit good except for my tender nose. Is there a pad you can place there? The ff is more comfortable then the nasal mask except for the bridge of my nose. Thankfully it is the spot below where my glass sit so it doesn't get irritated during the day any suggestion to make the bridge of my nose ...

I have 35 year in nursing in Milwaukee ,WI

It could be a learned behavior to wake up at 4:00. Try no nap and get up at 7:30. My sleep Dr. put me on sleep restriction. She cut me from 10 hours of sleep to 7. Those 10 hours consisted of 1.0 hr nap. Sleeping from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm, then toss and turn and check the clock every half hour until ...
