Hi: So after you all told me so many times i finally was able to write down my equipment in my profile. Thanks. I downloaded Sleepy Head following the instructions, but I couldn't install it. My computer said it was from an unknown manufacturer and it won't open it. It's a MacBook Pro. I'm so new to...

Hi Julie and Pugsy: Thanks for posting. Yes, I'm using a Respironics System One BIPAP Auto Biflex, IP: 12, EP: 6. I don't have Sleepy Head, I will get it and learn how to use it so i can post to Imgur. I didn't have soft tissue surgery, i almost did, but since it has such bad reputation, i went ahea...

Hi: Thanks for posting and helping. I was finally able to log in, i had to sign up again, it didn't let me do it before. I know that Pugsy, i've been explained that several times. Occasional central apneas are fine. But they've been sort of an issue and doubt the whole time. I had a servo machine fo...

This is JohnnyBravo. I just posted without signing in. I updated my equipment info. Yes i have bad acid reflux and have tried PPIs with no success. I feel that's what's ruining my life. That and my overactive, oversensitive nervous system that awakes me with the smallest breathing effort. Also rinit...

So I finally filled in my profile with my equipment.

Why can´t a person with central apneas use an auto PAP machine?

Thanks.

Hi.

What are nasal pillows and what do they exactly do for you? Are they appliances so you can sleep in all sorts of positions, like say, on you stomach. That's been my biggest problem adapting to my nasal mask.

Hi. I´m new to sleep apnea and CPAP. I wanna switch to APAP. But how do you get to determine your minimum and maximum air preassure? Does you titration show that, or your doctor determines it? Can I spend my first night with an APAP with no min. or max. preassures settings and wait till I see the re...

Hi. I´m also new to sleep apnea. I've been diagnosed severe. Like Frances, I don´t know right now if I'm not sleeping any better because of the wrong prescribed air preassure or from my not getting adapted to my nasal mask. My sleep study showed severe sleep apnea with a few obstructive apneas, seve...

Hi. I'm using ResMed's Mirage ACTIVA nasal mask. I'm new to CPAP. I notice this air leak through these holes in the mask. It looks like it's supposed to happen, but I'm not sleeping any better so I´m wondering if there´s a problem with the mask. The air leak happens even when I inhale. Is this norma...
