... letting your mouth dry out. Taping also helps with using a full mask with facial hair - to some extent. 7. Sleeping on your side. I used to be a supine (back) sleeper, and wasn’t able to sleep on my side. Using my chin strap and tape I was able to start sleeping on my side. This reduced the AHI ...

... but definitely helps the apnea and (on my left) the reflux. CPAP has cured the reflux but at the normal pressures I could not go on my back (supine). I had a bi-level titration which the tech had me go supine and set my pressures while watching my EEG, blood O2, etc. Now I use a bi-level ...

... inflates like a balloon to create the seal, amazing when it works right. I'm at double your pressure, 21/17cm bi-level... but that lets me go supine no problem. I can put a finger or two between the top frame and my forehead. Yep,I agree the leaks were not too bad. I was using the Vitera with ...

... inflates like a balloon to create the seal, amazing when it works right. I'm at double your pressure, 21/17cm bi-level... but that lets me go supine no problem. I can put a finger or two between the top frame and my forehead. So stay off your back and/or let the pressure go higher... keep ...

... EPAP=9. OK... that makes more sense. Still, bi-level gives better support than EPR IMO... when I was using EPR I'd feel my palate slap hard when supine during the breath transition to exhale. Even though I'm on more differential it's better because a) the inhales are pumped instead of the exhales ...

... penny. It tells the tale of how your therapy is going. I've experimented with MAD... it did lower my APAP pressures about 2cm and did let me go supine at normal pressures. Now that I'm on Herculean bi-level pressures it doesn't do much and I've discontinued it. I used the SnoreMD, available ...

... things. You should see an ENT, they can usually just take a look and make an educated guess... mine said 'tongue'. When I use the MAD I can sleep supine no issues... if I don't use it I can feel it catch sometimes when supine. The big bi-level pressures do help, you really need good sea legs to ...

... I feel more motivated, all of a sudden!) I even resemble him except for the plaid sport-coat. I am not sure, but there is a chance I did go supine. I tend to and that's when I have problems, as you have surmised and my sleep studied illustrated. For a while I had luck propping myself up ...

... (possibly the best username ever... somehow, I feel more motivated, all of a sudden!) I am not sure, but there is a chance I did go supine. I tend to and that's when I have problems, as you have surmised and my sleep studied illustrated. For a while I had luck propping myself up ...

What happened at 03:20? Did you go supine, on your back? The machine wanted more... you're limited to 12cm... but it looks like your mask fit wouldn't handle it anyway. Try to get off 4cm min pressure... and fit your mask at 12cm if you can.... ...

... after 12 years and 100lbs? Nope! Here's a recent night on bi-level: https://sleephq.com/public/212480cb-7bf6-48c3-b99c-c3e098acf135 Must have gone supine about 6am... slept like a log through that anyway. Point is the O2 is great.

... in north Austin soon for the birth of our first grandchild! So, I will check the listings while there. Here is part of my report:”She slept in a supine position only 7% of the night. While sleeping, there were 65 apneas and 564 hypopneas, all obstructive, for an Apnea-Hypopnea Index of 93 (normal ...

... or chin strap will keep your jaw up. If you're like me then mouth taping tightly with lips tucked will let you relax and move your jaw forward. Supine all bets are off. As noted below (above?), anything more than mouth-taping moves my jaw *back*, since my normal bite is not good for OSA. My ...

... after my wife noticed me not breathing while asleep. We don't know if that was obstructive in nature or central (CNS) in nature. Since you require supine sleeping I recommend titration for bi-level. I recently went bi and am enjoying the benefits of it. Re the hose leak found by Uncle Nick: I saw ...

... that high I suggest you get off your back. If you can't get off your back I suggest an Aircurve 10... not the 11. with 17 over 21 PS4 I can sleep supine if I want. I do some mandibular advancement before bed, the jaw stays somewhat forward all night. You should be aware that a recently found problem ...
