Hi, I'm relatively new to cpap therapy. I've been using my cpap for just under a month, but I already have some positive results. First, I'm getting more sleep, and better quality sleep. For me, that means about 5-6 hours of sleep a night, which is much better than I was getting before (2-4 hours). ...

You should read the posts in this thread concerning focusing on your breathing versus letting your autonomous system take over to breathe naturally. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for all the replies.

I'll keep these in mind when I pick up my machine tomorrow.

Hi,

Just a quick question. I was recently diagnosed with osa, and am getting my new machine tomorrow (resmed Airsense 10 autoset) and mask, and wanted to know if you had any suggestions for the best type of mask for a side sleeper?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

My blood 02 dropped a bit below normal too, but I don't remember the numbers.

Hi all,

Glad to have found this board. I just got my results back my sleep study, and was diagnosed with mild osa. My AHI was 18, and the doctor ordered a cpap machine (Airsense 10 autoset). Just wondering if it's common to have cpap therapy recommend for mild cases of osa?

Thanks.
