Re: Data not recorded - resmed airsense 10
It worked fine last night. Looks like a software glitch where whatever service was running to collect data thought I stopped using it even though the CPAP was still running (otherwise I would have woken up really quickly for lack of air!) Unplugging it must have reset whatever the problem was, but t...

Data not recorded - resmed airsense 10
Last night about 1:00am my CPAP stopped recording data. It worked fine, but when it synced with myair.resmed.com it says I only have 1:21 hours of usage. Also it sync'd with resmed.com at 1:50am, which is pretty unusual, as it usually syncs about an hour after I turn it off in the morning. I pulled ...

How many mild apnea users use CPAP
My home apnea test showed a AHI of only an 8, pretty mild compared to what I see on this board. But it was a home test which I know under reports, and that night I didn't sleep well for some reason (probably not used to the equipment on my chest, nose and finger, plus the wires), and surprisingly my...

First follow up expectations?
Next month I have my first follow up appointment with my doctor since starting the APAP. Since the machine has a modem and sends up to resmed each night, and I know the DME therapist had the data, I'm assuming the doctor will have all the data as well. There's probably no need to bring anything in, ...

Re: Nervous and excited
After about a week, I'm having surprisingly little trouble adjusting. I thought for sure sleep would be difficult, but I do feel like I'm sleeping more soundly, my wife says I hardly move, and I don't snore at all anymore. Now if I could get her to stop snoring ... AHI so far: 1.2, 0.2, 1.2, 0.7, 1....

Re: Sleep without machine
I'm a little surprised to see people say it's possibly unsafe. I always thought that most people with sleep apnea are potentially harming themselves over the long term, and had assumed that a few nights here and there without a CPAP wouldn't really cause any immediate damage, other than sleepiness. ...

Re: Nervous and excited
First off, I rigged the hose over the head board of the bed so it doesn't flop to the floor (who would have thought). Funny, I did that first night as I didn't like the downward pressure the hose had. Now I see it's probably pretty common to do that. Then, upon reading on how, I adjusted the initia...

Re: DME & rental/purchase confusion
For example, a mask and headgear that come in the same sealed bag but billed separately. Yes, that was the other odd example. I assume, but don't know yet, that the amount billed to the insurance will be more than what insurance will allow, and they will reduce it to an agreed upon value in whateve...

DME & rental/purchase confusion
I started CPAP last week, so far everything is going pretty good. My insurance (Cigna) requires use of Carecentrix to get my CPAP and related supplies, which seems is handled by American Home Patient, at least in my area. Not knowing anything about CPAP and the whole process, I picked up my CPAP las...

Re: Nervous and excited
Since you are saying your difficulties are with the pressure when going to sleep, it does sound like more pressure starting out might be better for you. It's hard for the brain to relax and go to sleep if it's getting signals it can't breathe well. I was like that early on. I was not on an auto but...

Re: Nervous and excited
I've used it two nights so far. The hardest part is actually getting to sleep. I feel like I'm working to get breaths in (and out.) Though after a while it doesn't seem bad. I don't know if that's because I got used to it, or if a higher pressure actually made it easier. First night the machine repo...

Nervous and excited
After suffering for a couple years with constant tiredness and morning headaches, and finally doing a sleep study, I picked up a CPAP today and will be trying it out tonight. I only did the home study due to what my insurance would cover, so I believe I have an APAP (resmed airsense 10) which is set...
