Re: Resmed Airsense 10 has stopped transmitting. Any Advice?

I just DL My Air app and began entering the requested info but as soon as I entered the machine SN & Device # - the bars on the front went out & changed to a 'NO' symbol - i.e. the circle with a slash through it. I bought from cpap.com, have Rx, so there shouldn't be any issues there. Any ideas?

Using a Resmed Air Sense 10 in Italy

Does anyone out there know if I use this machine in Italy, do I only need the appropriate adapter since the power brick has printed on it 110 to 240?

Thank you...

Re: Mirage Quattro Problems

Library Lady my experience is same as yours. I must use 2 liners but they come to my eyes at the top so I cut them down some, fits much better then. Mask will still leak around my lower cheeks on high pressure, I have to pull it and reposition and I'll also turn off machine so it starts over at 4, t...

Re: HDM Z1 noise fix audio recording

I used my Z1 last night for the first time, used my iPhone earphone & listened to a podcast with one earbud in and didn't notice much noise at all. What did bother me was the new mask. Made the mistake of changing to small nasal mask when I'm used to ffm. Following the recommendations I've read in t...

Re: Dry Throat issues...suggestions?

I have trouble with dry mouth/throat also. I wake during the night with my mouth so dry it feels "stuck together". I'm not a mouth breather, have tried nasal masks, hybrid mask and full facemask and no difference because what happens is that my teeth part just a little and air flows into mouth from ...

Re: HDM Z1 noise fix audio recording

I just ordered a Z1 Auto today, knew it would be louder than a larger more insulated machine, and my intended fix is White Noise on my iPhone, w/earbuds. Your recording is pretty loud! Guess I will be in the market for the muffler when available. Really should come with the unit if they are all as l...

Re: She has abdominal gas and bloating. ?Prilosec

LSAT thanks for the healthy eating link, was interesting read. I've have aerophagia from the start of CPAP in 2006 and just went to a vegetarian diet about a year ago, so there's no connection there. Also when I don't use my CPAP machine I have no aerophagia. Archangle thanks, found the link & watch...

Re: She has abdominal gas and bloating. ?Prilosec

Actually since going to a vegetarian diet, and staying away from much bread & sweets, I do not have GERD anymore. Also, air is a mixture of gases - 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and a smattering of others.

Re: She has abdominal gas and bloating. ?Prilosec

I've had CPAP machine since 2006 and have suffered with aerophagia the entire time. Refuse to have surgery on my esophageal sphincter (Nissin's procedure), don't care to take Prilosec so take GasX tongue strips in the AM as needed (I should buy stock in that company), and also found that binding my ...

Re: Continuing Saga of Honking S9 Autoset

Didn't know I would get a assessment of my features when I put my picture on, but, oh well. Doesn't bother me. I don't like my smile is reason I don't smile in pictures. Sleep doctor said similar things, but I had a terrible sleep study, and knew my throat collapsed everytime I dozed off, I would dr...

Air going into stomach

Last night was my 2nd night on the Goodnight 420S, ramps up to 12 cm. over 30 minutes. I lasted about 2.5 hours. Woke up, stood up and all this air came up from my stomach (through a series of belches). DME said he's never heard of this & to call my Dr. which I did & his nurse said she's never heard...
