That happened to me many years ago. I slept over a friends house that smelled of smoke and she had a lot of animals. It was odiferous. I could not get the smell out of my machine. It must be something inside that absorbs it.

Never heard of Proventil what is it?

My opthmalogist argued that CPAP did not increase my IOP, but the underlying OSa might. My usual IOP was falsely low (12) with the puff test, so hearing 18 was alarming. Continue to monitor it as we'll as your B/P. Do you haves anatomical narrow angle? It's just occurs with aging and was on my prob...

This was just a screening, he has to do some type of test if it comes up high on the screening again. I will let you all know what happens next week when I go back. I know that preemies who were on cpap with high pressures suffered blindness , which leads me to believe there's risk here for high pre...

Thanks for the input ! Hopefully it will go down by itself. Will keep you all posted

I would never stop cpap!!! I will lower my pressure by two tonight and monitor my AHI to see if it goes up. I am at the best I can get for me which as I said is around 2. This machine has made a huge difference in my life, I really can't sleep without it. When I do on very rare occasions, last time ...

Thanks guys. I don't have any familial, or disease factors that's why I am suspicious of the cpap. I read up on the NIH that cpap can cause this, that's why I was wondering if anyone else had this experience. He did do the screening which did have a chin rest. He will recheck it next week when I pic...

Hi! I haven't logged on to this forum in so long. Everything has been pretty good, I went to school for my LPN, and got my license! (Thanks to cpap). I went to the eye doc today, (last visit was in Aug) I would like to wear contact lenses. He gave me the intraoccular pressure test, and low and behol...

It went very well last night. The Quatro FX left big lines on the FRONT of my face and I hated that. This mask leaves a not noticeable kind of minor imprint on my forehead which is fine. It left one subtle line on the side of my face that I sleep on but it was so far on the side and light that I cou...

Yep Sheriff that's it. I really like it so far.

Not sure but I don't think they make em much bigger! It covers my whole face even my eyes.. but it's clear and didn't seem bad at all when I tried it on.

I just got the Phillips Respironics Fit Life Mask this morning, haven't tried it yet. Just wondering if any one here has experience with it. I have been using the Quatro FX since Oct. it was pretty good but a lot of leaks, so am going to give this a whirl. I have to have a full face mask because am ...

I am too.. and I am glad that I adapted to it so well. Some people are not so lucky.

Happy Birthday Pugsy!

I have this gas problem too, the only thing good about it is that I can respond to my husband in kind now. He loses the contest as far as I can tell. The gas is unreal. I do use anti-gas pills and they do help. I have a high setting and can't lower it at all. 15.9 is what my body seems to need to un...
