I wish people would stop replying to her as if it were a legitimate post.

Can you keep a face wipe and a mask wipe at the bedside and use them when you have a leak? My husband has a problem with oily skin and would probably get oily in 4-5 hours. Thanks for brining up this problem. Now we can think of a solution for him, too

NightMonkey: Thanks for the simple explanation of Bilevel. Some posts in the past have been making it sound really complicated.

Welcome! I ended up turning my humidity down to 0 and then taking out the water before I was comfortable. It's so personal.

I hope she can give you some help at your appointment (or a referral). Will be thinking of you!

Amazing and inventive! I couldn't believe my husband could sleep through his CPAP alarm last night, but I guess I'm lucky!

Thanks all for the good advice!

I'm going to PM this troll and pitch a fit. Oops! She's too much of a coward to register and give us a chance to put her on our "Foes" list or PM her!
I'm not going to bump her idiotic post to the top, but had to say: Please don't feed the troll. We know she just wants attention.

report it to your doctor if it bothers you.

Thanks chunkyfrog, I meant bothers in the sense of "worries", not in the sense of showing symptoms. I can see how that could be misunderstood. I agree, the sooner a doctor reassures OP about this, the better.

I assume you are not having it right now or you wouldn't be on the computer typing. Severe chest pain is debilitating. When do you have it? Have you tried a liquid antacid in case it is caused by GERD? Severe acid reflux can mimic a heart attack. Before it happens again, call your doctor - don't wai...

My reported periodic breathing is 1-2% of the night and my doctor isn't even mildly worried. I have no underlying disease (heart or neurological) so it's not a problem. One episode that lasts less than 3 minutes out of maybe 300 min (if you got 5 hrs. of sleep) is less than 1%. Nothing to freak out ...

I route my hose from the foot of the bed, under the bedspread and on top the electric blanket. Works for me!

Did you guys have to go back to the sleep lab when you switched to bipap or ASV? I was recently diagnosed with secondary PAH and my AHI are in the 15-17 range and my last oximetry was >66.7% of the night with an o2 sat below 90% and I was down to 60% at times. 2 months ago only 3% of the night was ...

he asked me which I wanted before even testing me. Whew! I'm glad your seeing your doctor but it seems strange to ask you that. Perhaps with your medical history you are already pretty knowledgable. Not knowing what's going on, I didn't want to touch that question with a 20 foot pole! I hope the ap...

I'm glad you got some good results. When you download your data, print out a copy and show him that it's more than just "leaks". He may truly not know! Scary! Some owners are really just the business people and may not understand what they sell. But... they should!
