Re: Hydrogen Peroxide to humidifier???

To eliminate mask face in the am, I just bury my face between wife’s garbanzos till I can’t breathe anymore. Problem solved. Face smooth as baby’s butt.

Re: Comments on Surgery

Since you didn't specify what surgery, I can only guess that the guy had septoplasty, which is used to repair a deviated septum; and I'll agree with him on the sore throat. Kinda like pouring alcohol on hemorrhoids! :mrgreen:

Re: Has Anyone Ever Succunbed To Apnea?

There is a theory that SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is a form of Sleep Apnea. That is a child under one year of age stops breathing and doesn't have the physical maturity to wake up to breathe. So, to put this to rest, a normal healthy person with sleep apnea would , upon prolonged lack of b...

Re: Has Anyone Ever Succunbed To Apnea?

I'm going to rephrase the question. Has anyone ever known of a person dying in his sleep due to the collapse of the soft palate or something else blocking their airway, not allowing them to breathe, thereby causing their death? Thanks.

Re: Has Anyone Ever Succunbed To Apnea?

This may be a dumb question; but IMHO there are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. Does anyone KNOW of a persons death being attributed to sleep apnea? Not dying in their sleep, but actually suffocating on their own windpipe . Thanks for the toleration. What the heck does that mean? But, I perso...

Re: Has Anyone Ever Succunbed To Apnea?

Found in the motel room next day dead as a doornail. 41 years old, heavyset, nonsmoker in really good health,except for...

Re: Now have central apnea since starting CPAP therapy

Took 6 weeks for same situation to resolve itself with me. Time and lowering pressure did it for me. Also stopped fairly severe arrhythmia. Hope it'll work for you.

Re: Not Using Distilled Water?

At my age...I am a lazy sot for sure. I do use distilled water most of the time but I buy it at WalMart...I have no desire to distill my own and I don't have room in my kitchen or counter for another gadget taking up space. Now sometimes I run out and forget to replenish the stock (I only buy one g...

Re: Not Using Distilled Water?

Didn't trust local county water folks; had it tested at independent lab; said it was a waste of time according to what they analyzed. Thanks.
