Well good news is that my problems are subsiding- I don't know if it had anything to do w/ the therapy or if it was just another "attack". I'm leaning towards the pseudopheocycroma theory but who knows. My heart rate is still a bit high but that's usually the last thing to fall. In terms of sleep, I...

Well I checked my AHI & it was quite high which makes sense as the mask shows high leakage- I adjusted the straps too loose. My stomach ache this morning wasn't as severe but still bad & the gas is still horrible.... Hopefully tonight I'll get better AHI #'s & we'll see how tomorrow morning is w. th...

I have a feeling that it may have been the tightness of the straps that did give me the horrible headaches on Tuesday. I'm bringing this up b/c today when I took the mask off, my hand went across my head & there was a spot that really hurt. I started feeling around & it seems like I have something l...

The software shows a continual slight decrease in AHI w/ the current settings. 7.9 - 7.6 - 7.1 There are slight leaks here & there but don't seem to effect the numbers too much- they do seem to correlate w/ the Vibratory snore though, which makes some sense. In terms of the stomach pain- it's how yo...

I just faxed over my doctor the "Obstructive Sleep Apnea Presenting as Pseudopheochromocytoma: A Case Report" I found online. http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/reprint/89/5/2033.pdf It's quite interesting & hope that she can give me more insights at my next check up in 2 weeks. If all these symptoms ...

No, that's perfectly ok- actually your post is very informative & although it is a very small sample size- it does put a bit more validity to this theory. I'm glad you linked me to that study, I'd like to show it to my endocronologist as she originally tested me for pheochromocytoma as my symptoms m...

Well luckily I sleep through most nights just fine, the attacks happen during the day. The morning is especially bad as I usually get horrible stomach pains along w/ diarhea.. I adjusted the straps yesterday & it seems to have worked? I don't have a throbbing headache today although now the mask kep...

Well I really hope that's what is causing it but at the same time, that sucks! This mask works great & it's so small but if the straps are giving me these ridiculous headaches then shit... I can't put it too loose as it doesn't fit properly. The fit is very specific as it uses those nose pillows whi...

I just wanted to get people opinion if using Cpap/Bipap can be the cause of my issues. I've been using the machine for about 3 weeks now but something was not working as my AHI kept rising & rising & rising till it seemed to hit numbers higher than not using the machine at all!!! I called up my DME ...

That's really interesting & didn't think about that. It's making a lot more sense.... When I took a full spectrum breath test at the doctor's, most of my results were within range except for MVV & FRC levels were at reduced levels. My MVV was especially low at 73 meaning that I may have issues with ...

Thanks for the info Pugsy! ;p What do you guys think about the initial settings they have me on? They seem high to what I see other users on this forum have. I know that I'll need the data before an accurate assessment can be made but at least the machine they gave me has the rate option. It lowers ...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Cpap community & just got my machine literally a hour or so ago. I've known about this website for awhile now but only today registered. I've been reading a bunch of threads & came across information about software named EncoreViewer for my RP System One w/ the SD card. P...
