When I have time during the day I am wiped the bottom of the tank and the bottom at the machine then begin scrutinizing… looks like the plastic separated the a tad bit… is there a warranty on these ite...

Re: newbie—can you help with appropriate mask choice (Asian female) & air settings

Thanks Robysue for taking the time to feed that I really appreciate you & this forum…while I’m trudging along to figure this out. To answer/clarify your questions- 1 &2 -initially I had the sleep doctor lower the pressure because I didn’t know I was able to do it myself. But after that I was titrati...

Re: newbie—can you help with mask choose (Asian female) & air settings

Updates- 1-The past couple weeks on the machine hasn’t been good so same thing yanking it off after trying an hour and a half to two hours so I can actually get some sleep. Then during the morning before the cut off time of 12 noon I use apap to add time for compliance. I feel like this is so silly ...

Re: Machine causing insomnia

Thought you returned the machines a couple months ago… got it back? I just got the bleep mask. The sleep pillow was really comfortable but it wasn’t shooting straight into my airway. It’s been really hard to find a mask that is working. The pillows was also very tough on the nasal rhinitis. Anyway I...

Re: Air pressure setting Resmed apap 11

@ miss emerita The EPR is on. I was too strong I adjusted it from 3 to 1. It’s on full time. Really know what everything means still on trial. My bleep is supposed to arrive today so I’ll give it a few days to see how that works. Does anyone use the resumes nasal pillow. Angled at a certain way that...

Re: Machine causing insomnia

I read through this entire thread this evening. I can totally relate to you because that’s me you’re talking about! I had my sleep study 13 years ago and tried the machine but didn’t get patient information and had to return the machine. Went back to the same sleep Doctor Who gave me a lot of hope t...

Re: Air pressure setting Resmed apap 11

Because I couldn’t tolerate the initial 8-12 fir the initial 4 weeks I ended up not able to use machine when sleeping . Hence dme co asked me to ask provider to adjust it from 4-8. Yes the ramp didn’t work bc it was too low (not sure why the md didn’t know this, so dme co asked me to ask provider to...

Re: oScar app

OK pardon me -the program. My question wasn’t answered—So is it required to put our credit card information in order to complete the registration that just seems odd.

Air pressure setting Resmed apap 11

The sleep doctor had put the settings on 8 to 12 initially. I’m not sure what that was based on because I did my sleep test 13 years ago and he couldn’t find the paperwork. I did not get an updated sleep study. After not having any luck with the machine or the first mask I beat again to do my own re...

oScar app

Hello there I’m still getting used to the machine I got 2 months ago. I’m also waiting for the bleep to arrive after trying a nasal mask and currently using the nasal pillows. I’ve been seeing that The Oscar app helps track our sleep. I downloaded the Oscar app a couple weeks ago to find out that it...

Re: newbie—can you help with mask choose (Asian female) & air settings

Ok Just ordered the bleep today it should arrive in a few days— i’m just too exhausted figuratively and emotionally after three weeks and waking up exhausted and tired. I’m gonna try the other mask if the bleep doesn’t work with the hose at back of head. Also rev the Oscar app…. after registering it...

Re: Any use for old machine?

Post it on Craigslist or nextdoor. Someone may want to test it out before buying one.

Re: newbie—can you help with mask choose (Asian female) & air settings

Ps—I didn’t get a 20% code after registering that the sales agent said I would get. Anyone know if I missed it? Has anyone purchased a mask from this site and do they really stand behind their free exchange within 30 days. Finally how do I add my profile noting the mask and machine I’m using (I’m ac...

Re: newbie—can you help with mask choose (Asian female) & air settings

Updates this week—used same mask (will order the bleep): -Mon lots of gassing (is it from too high pressure)? I don’t think I eat anything different that would cause it. Ramp option wasn’t working (did the provider block it) Tues-Gasing again but not as much as previous night. Suddenly the ramp opti...

newbie—can you help with mask choose (Asian female) & air settings

Hello, I apologize if this post is very lengthy but I need to lay out background. I’m middle aged and I have had sleep issues for 25 years. So when I got a sleep study 13 years ago I was not surprised to be found to have sleep apnea (they said I was breathing through a straw). I am not overweight by...
