I am also waking up groggy and with a dry mouth most days and I have sometimes woken and noticed air escaping out through my lips, so I am starting to suspect that I might be mouth breathing. By “Groggy” do you feel stunned or confused and slow to react or light headed? When you are de-saturated to...

None of the leaks was above the red line which is good. Your graph shows NO obstructive apneas. Is it possible? What was your sleep study diagnosis? Could you post your Stats like this: Can you give a short run-down on what these figures may indicate? In the alternative is there a site that would g...

Give your sleep doctor a call, tell them that it's been a month and you're not feeling better yet. Tell them that the mask isn't fitting correctly, and that you need help. This should open the door to letting you try other masks and getting some more assistance. Actually, I don’t have a sleep docto...

That does not sound so good, especially since I don’t really seem to be getting anywhere. I still feel groggy after a...

Hi Paula, We live at approximately 5600 feet in altitude and take frequent day trips into the mountains to about 8000 -8500 feet elevations. The abrupt change in altitude can and probably will be a factor on your trip, especially since you are coming from Texas which I would presume would be near se...

Buying a CMS-50D+ from pulseoxstore or elsewhere is probably not much more expensive than a doctor visit plus rental, plus your time to go get it, return it, plus gas money, etc. Then you own it. Takes a little effort to install the software and get it working and learn how to interpret it. I think...

Randy, I would not recommend that anyone get too wrapped up with an expensive recording instrument. Someone here already mentioned that your physician can write a script for an overnight rental to see how you are doing but I can not see a valid reason for anyone spending that much money for somethin...

Hi Barbara, I have only been on a cpap since June 18th and can empathize with your problem as I too am experiencing similar problems. I also dislike the warm air from the humidifier and have it turned off. Since I sleep with a 4 lt oxygen flow into the cpap and my oxygen concentrator has a humidifie...

Here I am in the middle of the night waiting for a sleeping pill to kick in and reading posts. Mouth breathing; I think I have always been a mouth breather since childhood. My pcp sent me to an ear-nose-throat doctor a couple of years ago who said I had a deviated septum which is why I breath throug...

I just downloaded ResScan v. 3.14 and the installation instructions say all previous versions must be uninstalled before installing this new version. Has anyone else installed this latest version and if so did it keep the information already downloaded by the old version?

FEDX just delivered my 16 oz bottle of Control III and I read the instructions and warnings on the label. I am impressed and a little afraid of this seemingly very potent concentrate. The scariest is the one under “First Aid” where it addresses ”If on skin or clothing.” It recommends flushing affect...

Has anyone told you how the insurance company would go about certifying compliance? I think that the built in reporter at least on mine only holds the data for a 24 hour period. It does have an SD card but after downloading the information the last time I reformatted the card. No one has advised me ...

Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions, it was most helpful. I saw my pulmonary physician this morning at National Jewish and asked him what he thought. His comment was that using disinfectants may be a bit of overkill for most people using a cpap for sleep apnea but for those of us with othe...

I have only been on a cpap since the middle of May this year just after spending 8 days in the hospital for pneumonia and bronchitis so I am a novice here. I did the sleep study and although I am not sure what the numbers on that entailed but per my pulmonary doctor, it was kind of bad and the need ...
