SH "Overview" tab not showing any labels?

Weird. Am I missing some setting somewhere? I see the data, but no labels. And the right slider bar does nothing.

Re: Travel machine recommendations?

Yep. Some very compelling reasons to have a travel machine for sure.

Re: Aroma therapy and Cheyne Stokes Respiration

I have seen plenty of clusters of CAs (SWJ) and I was trying to go back to sleep, but..... I have not before seen Cheyne Stokes Respiration indicated, so what's up with that??

Re: Travel machine recommendations?

Is there a compelling reason to not just pack up your tried and true mask and machine and take it with you? When I got the Resmed 10 earlier this year it came with a nice padded travel case, so twice this year I have just taken it with me. I do pack an extension cord just in case I need it. It comes...

Aroma therapy and Cheyne Stokes Respiration

Three days ago I got the usual Medicare resupply including a new heated hose and new nasal mask hose, which I installed. I noticed some unpleasant odor that night, so I looked here (my go to source for all things CPAP) and saw the suggestion to use some essential oil on a cotton ball placed in front...

Sleepyhead question

I will be traveling to my brother's place for a month this summer and will be taking my machine with me of course. My question is: Will I be able to install SH on his computer and log in without losing any of my SH data history? As long as I use the same login name, will SH on a temporary computer j...

Good video explaining what OSA is?

I vaguely remember someone posting a link to a very good video illustrating normal breathing and then what happens when an OSA occurs and how CPAP corrects it. I have a family member who is interested in potentially pursuing a sleep study and would like to know more about OSA. If you know of a good ...

Re: Chin Strap and TMJ issues

I also have had TMJ issues off and on over the years and I don't use any sort of chin strap (never have beyond trying one for a week or so at the beginning of my therapy some 9 years ago). It wouldn't be impossible for a chin strap to maybe accelerate the TMJ issue though if it is putting the jaw i...

Re: Chin Strap and TMJ issues

I will be seeing my dentist in two weeks but until then I will try Pugsy's suggestion of not using the chin strap to see how that affects both the TMJ and treatment. Anyone have experience using a mouth guard rather than a chin strap to keep mouth closed for nasal pillow users? That might be easier ...

Chin Strap and TMJ issues

I have been on CPAP for about 4 months now and use nasal pillows and a chin strap. About a week ago I started having jaw pain on my left side near my ear when I am chewing. After talking with my doctor about it she opined that it most likely is Temporomandibular Joint disorder, or TMJ, and suggested...

CPAP at 6500 feet?

I visit my brother for a couple of weeks several times a year and he lives in the mountains at about 6,500 feet. I plan on just packing up my machine in its padded case and including it in my carry on bag so that part of it should not be a problem. However, I was wondering if the higher elevation wo...

Re: Still getting OAs...do my settings need tweaking?

I am 113 days into cpap. I am usually seeing AHI in the 1-2 range, mostly CAs and Hs; however, I am also still seeing some OAs which makes me wonder if I need to tweak the machine's settings a bit. I would appreciate some of the forum vets taking a look at last night's data to see if they would rec...
