When you breathe through your mouth, is it because your nose is stuffed up? If yes, do you know why? I'm wondering whether there's any chance you could switch to a nasal pillow mask. I don't know why but I catch myself mouth and nasal breathing. Wintertime my nose is congested 80%. Summer it rarely...

1st machine--tried for 2 months--I think I never could fall asleep, mask and airflow so uncomfortable. I remember always pulling it off after 2 hrs in frustration. Next machine, tried almost 3 weeks. Occasionally slept, more nights. I toolk it off--frustration in getting to sleep. Or the dreaded dry...

My sleep data came in mail yesterday. The May 2017 MD report says I have OSA with emergent CA's. I had insufficient time to determine effective treatment. Brought back for additional night of titration 1 month later--June. The diagnosis at end of that from MD report was, severe OSA with treatment of...

thx Grumpyhere I can say that with the above mentioned settings from you 3, the machine has become comfortable to breath with! Thx so much, I have never felt that sensation before. It felt almost normal. I was so pleased. Yest after reading with it on, I awoke to find that I had nodded off for 30 mi...

Ok, I already know something needs to change. Wore x 1 hr working at my desk. Very uncomfortable—I’ll try to explain: —feels like I’m pulling too hard to get air. I want a slightly larger volume of air to come into my lungs, and I want it to flow in much more easily. —feels like I’m pushing too hard...

Thank you so much for helping me! Those changes you recommend have been made, for what it's worth, the IPIAPmax was set at 25-- I changed it to 12. I found the filter--lily white! I never used these machines more than 20 nights. Will buy some more filters! I will wear the mask while awake and doing ...

My understanding of this “S mode”, is that the machine will deliver nothing on its own to me? I only will trigger the machine with whatever spontaneous respirations I have—and when I do trigger the machine—it will default to the preset pressure supports and time limits?

Ok, mask has arrived! So I'll try the vauto machine? Clean the resivoir and tubing. Put a SD card in machine?--(there's already a blue resmed SD card in it--nothing on the card about size or speed) There's some other type port (empty) right below the SD card port Try to sleep? Report back success in...

Help again. I just found my missing 3rd machine. It is a ResMed Aircurve 10 , but this one says ST-A on it. So I have these 2 Aircurve machines….I don’t know which was the last one I used? Supposedly I was switched between to address my central apnea better. So I have both a VAUTO and a ST-A machin...

I found a supplier for mask--required no Rx--switched to Respironics version--dreamwear full face, with several size nose cushions.

Release of info sent in for my data and now waiting.

Kind of excited to see if this goaround will finally pay-off on being able to tolerate therapy

Thank you for the advice on where to buy supplies. I also found YouTube info on fitting the mask and fitting the headframe. I was wondering if there would be any value to me turning on the machine and seeing what the last mode, settings and pressure levels were (assuming they're still in the memory)...

Thank you loggerhead. In the interest of saving time over the next 2 weeks while I wait on my data, Should I be doing anything to my machine that has been sitting for nearly 6 years or is it as simple as turning it on and expecting it to work as before? does it have an internal battery so the prior ...

Okay my studies have been located from 2017 at the sleep center. I have been told I should have them in my hands somewhere between 2 and 4 weeks. Sending medical release today. So I need to go and learn about this image site for getting my data on here. What do you mean exactly by uploading my studi...

The Sahara Desert in your mouth comes from air blowing into your mouth and out into the room. Blowing air is very effective at drying out things - mouths included. Very unpleasant. We can also help you with the panic an claustrophobia. Unlike some sleep techs and some doctors, we've been there, don...
