... 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 Inspire." What a creep. :evil:

... snore as I'm falling asleep with the Airmini. I asked my sleep doc about it and he didn't have much to suggest except, "Maybe you should look into Inspire." I'm not sure where to go from here. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Any troubleshooting steps I can take? Thank you!

After 3 CPAP masks and almost 90 days, I realized that CPAP is not the best option for my moderate sleep apnea. I am reluctant to try Inspire, although some people really like it. Has anyone tried acupuncture? If so, has it helped? Did you try CPAP first? Any other recommendations for those ...

I am writing this in order to prevent you from going to the same experience I went to. Probably, for some people Inspire is a solution, despite all the pains that the surgery incites, but it would be nice to have more information before you decide this is a good solution for you. ...

... AHI3 = 28 ± 11 vs. 36 ± 12 events/h, P = 0.03 and ODI3 = 18 ± 10 vs. 28 ± 12 events/h, P = 0.02). I guess it's appearing to me to be a liquid Inspire, albeit weaker. I'm getting better results (lowered AHI) from using a MAD before bed.

Thanks!

I read general anesthesia isn’t recommended with sleep apnea. It's common to use general anesthesia on people with sleep apnea. The anesthesiologist should be made aware, and she will make sure you breathe steadily. That's a big part of their job with every patient. Anesthesiologists are often the ...

... Had mask rep out to house to make sure fit was ok. I’m really anxious even thinking about the mask! How long did you try CPAP before getting inspire? Did you have general anesthesia or conscious sedation for implant? I read general anesthesia isn’t recommended with sleep apnea. Thank you ...

I was an early adopter...the device was implanted in my right breast in July 2020.

Hi...I found and joined this chat group on April 9th, after reading a person's negative experience with the INSPIRE Device...I spent close to 30 minutes writing about my own INSPIRE experience, but I guess I didn't actually post it, because my Profile shows "no posts"...let's ...

My experience with cpap was horrible. I went through 5 masks and could not wear it for more thann2 hours without not being able to breath.

BTW, how did you find cpaptalk.com?
