An increase in pressure is the machine responding to some sort of event precursor...snores or flow limitations. Not all snores or flow limitations will grow up to be a full blown obstructive apnea or hyponea even if left untreated. The machine doesn't know that though...it just knows that it senses...

thanks this is exactly what i did and being my doc is good but not familair with the end user stuff as we are i like to confirm with someone else. this forum is fantastic for cpap user issues. thanks everyone now if i could only hear lol...im sure it will go away in a few days

thank you, the reason i ask is because the way you explain it is the way i understood it, however, i noticed in my report some nights my pressure will peak out at 12.5 (my prescribed max), so i went and adjusted my peak at 20. now my report says some nights i go as high as 17cm and since, im having ...

My question about autopap pressure ranges is lets say your range is between 5 and 15cm but during the night your body only requires lets say 12cm, will the machine still ramp up to 15 or will it stop at 12cm??

thank you rested gal, i will try +2cm. last night i lowered it to 9, dont ask me why that made sense to me last night as i have never changed my pressures before but it did no good. after reading your post it makes sense to give it a try. GumbyCT i have no idea why they took me off the bipap. i chan...

i was on a goodnight425 before, what you see in my profile is the new one. the 425 was very old so i made the decision to get a new machine. and yes i just tried to get a sooner apointment and they are more than a month out. also no luck in talking to this doctor over the phone as i have tried befor...

i was recently taken off bipap @ 25cm and reduced to a cpap @ 11cm as a result of my most recent sleep study. its been about 2 months or so and i have noticed that with my current setup, my energy levels during the day are very low, im sleepy when i get home from work, i can sleep all day if i try a...

yes i got something very similar, but ayr looks good and i am going to order some right now, thanks

im on 11cm, i think the previous post hit the nail on the head. my heat dries out the air in the house, totally didnt think about it

no i actually drink a lot of water during the day. i turned up my humidifier all the way last night and it seems to be a bit better. i know the members here know all the tricks and was hoping someone had the same thing happening to them

So in having great progress with my new cpap, i have been experiencing serious dry sinuses. i turned up the humidifier and it made it somewhat better but i want to know if there is anything that i can use or do to make this better. i have the sinus gell for cpap users which helps but its not enough....

yea i noticed when the mask gets a little older it seems to be more comfortable and doesnt irritate my face that much. i have to stop letting the dme send me new supplies, they call me like every 6 months or so.

hello everyone, i was wondering what to do when i get red marks on my face from my full face mask. i had temporarily switched from my quattro to an ultra mirage and it seems the seal irritates my skin. i also get this when i use a new seal. it takes me weeks to get used to a new seal, any tricks out...

cool, thanks julie. this will not be my only cpap as i may need to get another either as a secondary or just as a backup, but for now i think i will be ok with this one. i will however take that into consideration for my next purchase. Im just glad i can get a good night's sleep now, one night on th...

oh ok thanks, but its a bit too late, i have the plus series and could not pass up the deal i was given. i have not had this good of a sleep in months, it works flawless in my opinion and im happy as long as i get a good sleep....its very quiet too compared to my jet engine 425 bipap@25cm what i don...
