I would definatly make a visit to an ENT or other sleep specialist to check it out. Oh, and apparently, a tonsil...

Yep. At least that part of it runs in families. Even in High School, when I was a perfectly average weight, my neck size was 18 - 18 1/2. My Dad has the same problem.

Suggestion for CPAP.com- Lists of Side/Stomach Sleeper Masks

Unplug the machine Hold down both left and right buttons (The ones that look like < and > ) and plug it back up. That puts you in the Clinicians menu, and turns the machine on. Use < and > to go through the menu without making changes. When you get to something that says CFLE or CFLEX, change it to ...
