It can take some time to get used to breathing with the machine and mask. What helps many people is to use the machine while you are awake and doing something distracting, like watching a good movie, reading a book, or surfing the net. You may need to increase your machine's minimum pressure in orde...

Definitely phone cpap.com - our sponsor and provider of this wonderful forum! As others have said, the manufacturers of cpap equipment place restrictions on prices that can be advertised by their dealers. By phoning in, you can get the real story on what pricing is available. It's definitely worth a...

This is resmed's official]description of how the upload works: Q. How long after a therapy session has ended will my data be transmitted to myAir? A. In most cases, your data will be available in myAir one hour after you stop using your device. If you used your device and your data is not yet availa...

I don't hear any noise from my cpap machine or mask at all. Now, I have been using cpap for many years and our brains do a very good job of filtering out background noises once we get used to them. Using the machine during the day while surfing the net or watching a movie on tv might help in getting...

A piece of 3M NexCare paper tape from Walmart across my lips has made a dramatic difference in my leak numbers. Granted that the machine can adjust to deal with quite a bit of leak and compensate for it, but those leaks can still disturb your sleep if the air leaking or blowing on you wakes you up. ...

I agree that it sounds like you got a defective machine. Those two machines should sound the same from the user's point of view. Ask the DME to swap it out for you and the sooner you do this, the better. They should order the new machine in advance so you can swap them without having any time withou...

Note that NexCare *is* 3M Micropore tape - it's in the fine print on the front or back of the package. There are two major varieties of Micropore tape - one is paper and the other is cloth/fabric. I much prefer the paper variety as it is more breathable. The other one feels greasy and slimy to me. T...

Walmart has distilled water for cheap - 88 cents here. Any large supermarket will also have distilled water. But make sure that it says DISTILLED on the label, not spring, purified, mountain, or anything else. Distillation is a process that evaporates and collects the water vapor and leaves all of t...

Breathing while wearing the machine is something that you have to get used to. A good way to do this is to use the machine while you are watching a good movie or surfing the web or reading a book or something else distracting. It really doesn't take long to get used to it. If your minimum pressure i...

Are you saying use micropore to tape your lips closed? If so, does it work more effectively than using a 'dry mouth gel'? Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. A single strip of the tape I linked above from Walmart - NexCare paper tape. Suck your lips in and tape horizontally across the now straight...

I agree, froggy! I tried some of the others and there was no comparison. What I didn't realize until I tried it is that 3M sells their Micropore tape at Walmart under the name NexCare. But if you read the small print, it's Micropore. It comes in two varieties - latex and paper. The paper is much mor...

A simple two inch strip of 3M Micropore paper tape, available from WalMart for $3.27 for two rolls, can completely solve this problem: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nexcare-Gentle-Paper-First-Aid-Tape-781-2PK-1-in-x-10-yds-2-rolls/19898482 It's what I use every night. No more dry mouth and most nights,...

While home testing can save insurance companies and people money, sometimes more is needed. They can not detect complex or central apnea, nor other possible problems like periodic limb movements, or determine level and amount of sleep. The machine doesn't know when/if you are asleep. The guy in the ...
