Thanks for the answer!

What kind of issue's would point to a pressure problem?

And... is there a minimum pressure... where the insurance might say "this person doesn't need CPAP/APAP"?

Thanks!

Why would your doctor get you a APAP capable machine and leave it in CPAP mode?

Thanks

You state that you think your soft palate is the problem but you are just guessing and could be badly wrong. I appreciate the concern about rushing into surgery. I'm not anxious to do that, but the soft pallet observation is just that... an observation. It's not a guess. Anyway, I'll continue to lo...

I think I dream more on CPAP.

I had been having good success, averaging over 6 hours a night for about a month and a half. I did not foresee any problems. After reading pe...

Thanks for the information!!!
