Re: Here are my mom's ASV reports

The report seems to indicate that she has only been on the machine for a single day. If that is the case, I would recommend just focusing on getting used to wearing it to sleep.

Re: Who has felt absolutely fabulous after sleep Study titration

I felt great after my study as well. And I hated the wait to get my machine (all four days). Then I was disappointed that I didn't sleep like that at home. All in all, I think that part of the issue was that the room for my sleep study had a great mattress and was quite cool but with adequate covers...

Re: I am ashamed of my cpap?

I won't tell you that no guy might have a hang up over the thing. The truth is that there are many people who are hung up on all kinds of things.

Re: Modified UPS for Electrical Backup?

There is a major issue with the idea of adding a deep cycle battery in parallel to the one installed on your UPS unit. You see different batteries have different internal resistance and charge levels. As a result of this even on a charger, they will tend to cause a charge/discharge between themselve...

Re: CPAP and SCUBA

The issue with diving is that the absorption of any gas is equivalent to the atmospheric pressure. It could be possible that there would be a small effet from the CPAP, though I think the worst case scenario would only really effect you if you got up and started diving right away. Now if you are at ...

Re: Allergy to CPAP machine

Perhaps try a mask that will have you breathe through your mouth? If you get the air, that is the important thing.

Re: Use fine filters!

Funny, I just picked up my machine today. Tonight will be my first night and I am really looking forward to it. But I have already been thinking of how to improve filtration. The first thing that entered my mind was if I could house the whole thing in a cabinet and filter the air entering the cabine...
