They all work together in the same office...

Re: Giving up on Nose Pillows--How to Pick a Mask

After trying about a dozen masks over 5 years of nasal and full face I settled on a simple nasal mask. But I use a chinstrap in addition. I like to sleep on my back and in this position the weight of the mask provide all the needed sealing pressure. No need to tighten any head straps. This is my kin...

Re: heart fluttering and CPAP

It's probably a coincidence (that's why they have such a word ). But you definitely need a referral to a cardiologist who will probably have you wear a Holter monitor for 30 days to track your heart rhythm. Been there done that.
