There are CPAP's that record compliance data (hrs of use), CPAP's that record efficacy data (AHI & leak) and there are Auto CP...

Re: Cyst in sinus cavity?

Did you get that somnoplasty, LAUP, or the pillar for that cyst? I'm not familiar with what the name of the surgery is, but it is when they pack your nose. For the cyst did they have to pack your nose? If they did both at the same time I'm thinking the deviated septum surgery -they'd have to pack n...

Yes, this forum is sponsored by cpap.com but cpap.com won't file insurance in lieu of payment so if someone is wanting their insurance to pay up front...then some place like easybreathe would need to be used because they will file insurance and wait on pa...

Re: Cyst in sinus cavity?

I had a lot of infections as well because of a cyst. I went to a ENT doctor to remove it as well to fix my deviated septum which didn't really work.
