I have an Epson nasal mask. For whatever reason I suddenly am having a problem with the hose easily falling off the connector to the mask to the point that I am having to tape the two together. What could cause this to happen? My mask and hose are one year old.

I recommend a chin strap to begin to help you to keep your mouth closed while sleeping. I do the same. wore it for about 10 months. All was fine for the last 2-3 months but am beginning to do so again. Therefore, I am going to wear it every other night in an effort to teach myself to keep my mouth c...

My provider says it should not be necessary as my modem should pick up the data. Can anyone provide help? I dont care to remove the card from my machine.

Thank you! I welcome other thoughts.

I specified "Sprite" so that everyone here would know that caffeine is not an issue.

In part, I was hoping to know if drinking a carbonated beverage (could be diet something) made a difference or not.

What about weight gain? And what is the recommended time in the evening to discontinue the use of carbonated beverages? One hour before sleep? Two hours before sleep?

I have used the Phillips Bipap machine for one year now. Over the past 3-4 months, I have experienced considerable weight gain and stomach bloating. I know that over the same period I have developed a routine of after dinner to late night Sprites. The next day is followed with stomach gas and other ...

I actually ended up taking 3 sleep studies. My score was/is a 92. The first sleep study was spent on testing one half of the time and trying CPAP the second half. The 2nd study was spent trying traditional Bipap and the 3rd study trying an ASV machine. The hospital where the clinic is located was wi...

This is the type of mask I own. I have the 400450.
