Re: Machine busted in the middle of the night!

Apparently the problem is with the humidifier. I separated the CPAP machine from the humidifier and it works fine. Once I link it to the humidifier it turns on and then turns off.

Machine busted in the middle of the night!

I awoke to find that all the lights of my machine were off and it has stopped working. At first I thought we had a power outage. When I saw that other electronic devices were working and that my clocks did not reset. I checked the power cord connection on the back of my machine. I unplugged the cord...

Re: Changing Mask: Will I need to change the air pressure?

I think I'm due for a new mask. Which of these should I pick: The Ultra Mirage Full Face Mask or the FlexiFit HC431 Full Face Mask? I have the a Comfort Full model now and it works fine until the adjusting set pins for the fore head part break off. Then there is no way to adjust the top of the mask ...

Changing Mask: Will I need to change the air pressure?

I've tried a nasal and a full face mask. I get a much higher apnea reading when using the nasal mask than when using the full face mask. Should I up the pressure on the nasal mask?

Thanks,
Charles

Re: Dizzy and lightheaded.

I check my blood sugar regularly and it is under control. I'm thinking of visiting a chiropractor??

Re: Dizzy and lightheaded.

Boy oh boy! I just looked it up. Apparently it s very difficult to figure out the cause: "Tests sometimes used to find the cause of the dizziness or vertigo include hearing tests, balance tests (electronystagmography or posturography), computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging...

Dizzy and lightheaded.

I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon about this, but I wanted to get your thoughts. I've been getting dizzy lately when I move my head quickly from one position to another - even when laying in bed. Is it possible that an overtightened full face mask strap can cause this? The bottom strap si...

Re: CPAP Auction Seller not Responding to e-mails?

I feel like a jerk. I just heard back from the seller. She was out of town due to a death in the family.

All is well.

Re: CPAP Auction Seller not Responding to e-mails?

The auction site sent me the seller's telephone number today and an alternate e-mail address. I'm glad I decided to ping the seller for a pulse before submitting payment.

Thanks.

I sent them a note. I don't have high hopes that they'll be able to do anything about it though

CPAP Auction Seller not Responding to e-mails?

I attempted to buy a Mirage Activa Mask at auction but cannot complete the transaction. I was the highest bidder but the seller will not respond to my e-mails. Any thoughts? This is the first time bought something at the CPAP auction site.

Re: I want to try a different mask. I have the ComfortFull 2.

I'm bidding on an Activa mask using the auction link - I have to start somewhere I guess.

I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks,

Charles
