1. Your leak is not so high, but it is often. Does it awaken you? Do you get dry mouth?

2. Are you still using a nasal mask (N20)?

3. Do you wake up often? A side effect of Sunosi is problems sleeping.

4. I would like to zoom in on your flow line. Can you use SleepHQ.com to post their analysis?

I greatly prefer SleepHQ for reviewing people's data, as it allows you to pan and zoom around the charts, while Oscar only gives a static image / screen shot.

My recommendation for somebody new to CPAP is to use SleepHQ

DME stands for durable medical equipment - Correct?

Yes, and it's commonly used for durable medical equipment supplier.

I've tried increasing the CPAP pressure, but I can't really tolerate much higher (I'm a very light breather). What are the symptoms of your intolerance of higher CPAP pressures? Aerophagia, awakenings, inability to fall asleep, other? I tried switching to CPAP (see 2025 - CPAP screenshot), but then...

Im hoping the AirWaav device works better for this but I am going to try this for now while it gets here

It's a pretty decent device. Follow the fitting instructions carefully. Do NOT bite down too hard.

BTW, have you had your airway examined by an ENT?

I'm wondering if my flow limitations are actually an issue that's negatively affecting my sleep and need to be fixed? Judging near bedtime, how did you feel during the day? Energetic? Any excess sleepiness? Tired at bedtime, but not stressed? My question is - are these flow limitations that you see...

The data system is not OSCAR.

Why secretive? People who learn the best from forums are open.

Maybe you merely overlooked mentioning the app's name?

My family doctor wrote a script specifying the machine model. He sent a letter saying I use and benefit from the machine, and a replacement is needed. This went to the DME who then ordered the machine. Make sure the DME has your Medicare and supplemental policy information. It was all effortless for...

yet machine only registers 2 or 3 hours when it’s been on for 8??

Did the problem go away?

sorry if this is obvious but are you sure the machine was on? for me, sometimes i can't tell if my machine is on because the pressure settings are really well dialed in and I have to look at the machine's screen while using it to make sure(or turn it on in the app) Many of us favor the AutoStart fe...
