thanx for the reply on the previos post. as descrbed, before, I switched masks to a mirage quattro. I love the mask,however,with my machine,my ahi,hypopnea numbers are still below 1.0. In another post a few of you were going at it about "runs" mine were below 20% with the nasal mask.they have double...

recently changed from a twilight aeomed nasal mask to a full face mirage quattro. my avg pressure went way up from under 9 to about 11.5. is this normal? my leak rate is at 0.6 avg? thanx in advance,
kevin

just a helpful hint...go to your drugstore and buy some nexcare 2" papertape. purse your lips shut,use some chapstick and tape your mouth shut. I have been doing this for a year. I was having the same problems as you are. I had been using a chinstrap and it just didnt work for me. sounds a little ex...

welcome... I too had spasms in my heart at age 30. had to wear a monitor for a week because of it. after years of saying nothing was wrong with me I had a sleep test 2 years ago. However, my spasms included pain that they could not diagnose. After cpap, all is gone and I feel alot better. doc told m...

yes,I tried straight pressure of 9, sleep doc wanted me to try an apap. actually I tried the cpap setting on this machine at 9 and still felt the same with worse numbers. I am only sitting at 5 or 6 most of the time.

I am still feeling sleepy during the day...I am trying to figure out why yet. I have been on the hose for 2 years and I finally decided to get myself away from the 20 mg of celexa I take everyday for hpertension. I am getting mixed results on how I feel every day. I do tape at nite.

apneas- 27 index/h-0.5 apnea/ca-56 index/h-1.1 hypopnea 38 index/h-0.7 hypopnea/fl 6 index/h-0.1 acoust/vib 16 index/h-0.3 runs= 807 index/hr 15.9 this si over 8 days with an average nitely usage of 6hr 20 min. I am not sure of how to interpret the runs.. apap set from 5-12 fl-set @o

thanx for all the replys...I have been on several types of anti-depressants,but never changed bp meds. maybe thats the answer. I afraid the doc is going to get sick of me!! However I do agree,going to bed over tired is not a good idea and I do sleep worse when that happens. I just wish I could sleep...

recently,I have been having a problem with waking up to go to the little boys room If I go to bed after midnite at about 6am and cannot go back to sleep.WIDE Awake. no matter how I sleep. (my ahi is consistently at 1.5 or less,and I tape).This drives me completely nuts. I do not drink anything 3 hou...

I have breifly watched some of her shows and she is an irratant. Maybe she should ask the widow of the late great Reggie White of the Green Bay P
ackers about sleep apnea. Part of his cause of death was sleep apnea.
As for CNN(Clinton News network),I steer clear.

I too resisted my gp's reccomendations too. I drive truck for a living and finally decided to to get a sleep study after nearly killing a family of 4 in wisconsin 1 night. Luckily I woke up. Have him read these posts. this is an awesome place for information. great friendly people who help you out a...

I will try to disable that as for posting the 96 hours, I donn't know how to.

I have been using my new pb 420e for about a month now and have checked my data out and discovered my pressures are all over the place, and I have been having 10 to 15 central apnea events. in my sleep study 2 years ago, I had none. just switched from cpap 9cm to apap 5-20??? some nites are better t...

I drive truck for a living and my G.P threatened to take my cdl away from me if I didnt get screened. He probably saved my life and someone elses in the process. I have driven truck for 13 years. There is many people out there driving trucks with apnea. All you have to do is be compliant and you sho...

I tried the swift and really liked it. However, I couldnt stand the price tag on it. You may want to look into the breeze or the comfort lite 2. The breeze works excellent for side sleeping and I believe it also carries a money back guarantee. Just by looking at it, you would think it is uncomfortab...
