Are you taking an NSAID? If so, give it up for a few days (you can take tylenol instead, even if what you take the NSAID for is inflammation) and see if it goes away. If so, there's your answer.[/quote]

No, no medication of any kind when problems began last week.

I heard sleep apnea mentioned once on the Soprano's. Never saw any equipment, though.

Also, one of the shows my kids watch, Drake and Josh, had an episode where a house guest needed a "machine to stop snoring". The equipment they used was obviously a prop. It sounded like an old Hoover vac.

I've had blockage and ringing in my ears for 6 days now. Was hoping it would go away when my nasal congestion went away, but no such luck. Hope no permanent damage has been done.

According to the display on my machine:

7 Day Avg. AHI=2.2
30 Day Avg. AHI=2.5

Lincare called me a couple of months ago and said they were no longer working with United Healthcare. Said I would get a call tag in the mail and would need to box up my equipment and return it to them. They suggested I start looking for new equipment, possibly through Apria. Never got the call tag ...

I use the Lincare in Lorton. They were very helpful when I got my Respironics unit and all my supplies have been sent on time. No complaints at all.
