Re: New to CPAP but feeling much worse instead of better

Forget OSCAR for the time being. Get a free account at SleepHQ.com, upload your data and post the link in this thread. Any 32GB or smaller SD card will work for data recording. Don't worry about the AIs at this point. You were probably wakeful when they occurred. In this case, they mean nothing. BTW...

Re: Airmini not working as well (as it did, or as my Airsense )

Min Pressure: 5.0 One thing I've noticed is that I occasionally wake myself up with a snore as I'm falling asleep with the Airmini. 5.0 is a very low pressure. Few people do well below 7.0. my usual Airsense 11 Autoset (and was with the Airsense 10, too). I have also had an Airmini for a couple of ...

Re: Airmini not working as well (as it did, or as my Airsense )

One thing I've noticed is that I occasionally wake myself up with a snore as I'm falling asleep with the Airmini. What are the settings on each machine? Please include the EPR and ramp settings. I asked my sleep doc about it and he didn't have much to suggest except, "Maybe you should look into Ins...

It's best to stay on the trail and out of the weeds. Especially if you tend to obsess over weeds.

If you are trying to find an excuse to quit CPAP, you don't need an excuse. Just quit.

How much will your supplier charge you?

Be sure to price-shop on the internet. This is a trusted supplier who has a good deal on an open-box AirSense AutoSet 10 - https://www.secondwindcpap.com/shop/

Re: Bleep Dreamport Mask Solution

I don't have mask leaks or face marks, but the headgear does flatten my hair on the very top. Had to learn how to comb it.

I tried the eclipse several times but couldn't get used to the magnet force drawing the mask away from my nose.

Re: ResMed AirSense 11 - Average data?

The Clinical menu does not allow me to adjust the Extended Period view. It defaults to 365 days. I did see another video on AirSense 10, where you can make this adjustment, to see the averages for Day, Week, Month, etc. There does not appear to be an adjustment for AirSense 11.

You want firmware? Tell us machine. Not that difficult.

Forget the sleep test. Try sleeping one month at home without CPAP.
