Re: Wife is having Bloating

That would seem to suggest that she is swallowing air, which makes me think the upper setting is too high. What does the Sleepy Head report show for her normal range? I believe that when sleeping on your side you need less pressure. If her normal range is say 11-13, with only brief excursions higher...

Re: My AHI keeps going up

You might try reducing your EPR, from 3 to 2. I have experimented with that and found that my AHI's went up the higher my EPR setting was (from below 2, to as high as an 8 going from 1 to 3 EPR). I have mine set at 1 and may just turn it off completely.

Re: Hating My New Autosense 10

Just hooked up my new auto sense 10 and am not very happy with it right now either. Apparently the pressure relief is not enabled so exhaling is difficult. the option to change that is not shown in My Options, nor is the setting for Smart Start which is also not enabled. Anyone know how to access th...

Comfortlite 2

In addition to the Aura Headrest I just bought I have a comfortlite but I have a serious problem with it. It seems comfortable enough (although I don't like the angle of the nose holes), but the real problem is that most times when I wear it I wake up in the morning with a headache and very disorien...

Everest Aura Headrest

I just got this Aura Headrest and have tried every adjustment possible but cannot get it to seal tightly in my nose. I don't see how this is supposed to stay tight given the adjustments available. I did try taking rubber bands and tied them together attaching them to each side near my nostrils and t...

I have a HC 431 also and it leaks too unless I strap in on pretty tight (with a setting of 8.6). I also have an ultra mirage and it seals a lot better. I like the 431 because it comes down below my chin and helps to keep my mouth closed, but it leaves terrible red marks on the bridge of my nose and ...
