Re: myair app hasnt received data from machine airsense 11

According to a certain cpap youtube personality, theres an outage for the Myair app. I would recommend using OSCAR for data instead, its much more detailed!

Re: Preventing Chipmunk Cheeks With Scunci Headbands

Ah ok, dont worry about it i was at work all day today as well. So initially you werent doing this to prevent chipmunk cheeks but found that it actually worked for that too? Ive been trying to transition to using nasal masks because my F20 that i was using has been aggravating my tmj. The only thing...

Preventing Chipmunk Cheeks With Scunci Headbands

Hey zonker, I saw your picture on a recent post and didnt want to hijack the thread. Just had a couple questions for you if u dont mind. I dont know if its an old pic but do you still use 2 scuncis to prevent chipmunk cheeks? What pressure do you use? Has wearing the scuncis over time caused any tmj...

Re: Extremely Dry Mouth

For dry mouth, I use Oracoat Xylimelts. I got mine from Amazon. You can stick one of them on your gum and they lubricate your mouth throughout the night.

Re: ORAL DEVICE FOR OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA

First night i slept with one of these devices my jaw was already popping and clicking afterwards, so i just went with CPAP. They can work but just be careful with these things.

Thanks brother. I slept with my O2 ring last night with my nasal pillows and O2 readings were normal. Hmm

Re: restricted nasal airway - reason for tiredness?

I had another question for you folks and didnt want to take up too much room starting a new thread. When im looking at my flow chart, i zoomed in and saw that before almost every CA event or OA event, my flow became flat right before it was marked, what does that mean?. Ideally a normal flow chart s...

Re: restricted nasal airway - reason for tiredness?

You might also ask yourself whether something unrelated to sleep breathing is causing your daytime tiredness. Has your regular doctor run any tests (e.g., thyroid, autoimmune, iron, testosterone if you're a man)? Well i did do alot of blood tests maybe about a year ago for my frequent urination as ...

Re: Need help with OSCAR graphs part 2

Ah ok, i thought the "seperate" screenshots were for the reason i stated, although i dont sleep past noon hehe, i just try to use the machine over a long period of time. On 3 days of the week i fall asleep around 2-3 am and have to wake back up at 6:40am to take my nephew to school and then i come b...

Re: Need help with OSCAR graphs part 2

Nope i dont take any medication. Ive always been a light sleeper and Im finding its harder to exhale with the nasal pillow mask than it was with the nasal mask, and it can be a bit distracting. The reason i switched is because i feel i can get a better seal with the nasal pillows because my nasal ma...

Need help with OSCAR graphs part 2

Hey guys so i finally got my resmed machine and slept with it last night. I switched from my usual nasal mask (n20) to the airfit p10 mask. I would sleep with the machine for an hour or two and would wake up, my sleep was very scattered. I didnt wake up with a headache but still feel tired, but i wo...
