Re: Pressure Increasing from 11 to 14 cm

It's worse than that. I believe that your machine does not even collect full efficacy data. The software is available, it's your data that's not "available," because your machine isn't collecting it. It would make more sense to me to have you get a data-capable APAP, rather than retitrating you eve...

Re: Pressure Increasing from 11 to 14 cm

My pressure needs are being determined through titration studies, approximately every 1 to 2 years. My machine is a ResMed S8 Escape II. I was told that the software was not available to me. Well there is software that we could get you but your machine doesn't gather any data beyond hours of use. S...

Re: Maiden post: just dx'd this week with severe apnea

Hi Maiden, I"ve been using a CPAP for seven years. This site has been very helpful. Being new to the treatments seems impossible and at times overwhelming. The bottom line is take it day by day and you will see your body can adapt. Over the years I"ve had ups and downs. I tried the surgery and it di...

Re: Pressure Increasing from 11 to 14 cm

Since wearing this cervical collar, my pressure has decreased significantly. Now I attributed this to less leakage since my mouth is remaining closed. But another thought is tht the collar is supporting the airway from collapsing or that aging sagging neck. My pressure last night was only 5.6(95%),...

Re: Pressure Increasing from 11 to 14 cm

Sometimes the airway tissues just want to sag a bit more as we get older. Maybe sleeping position affects things a little more now than it did a while back. I have been on cpap now for 4 years...pretty much the same pressures now as back then. I don't think it is something that we just automaticall...

Re: Pressure Increasing from 11 to 14 cm

Yes, I've been on the 14 cm pressure now for about 3 weeks. I've been able to sleep with it, somewhat still getting accustomed.

Pressure Increasing from 11 to 14 cm

Hi, I’ve been treating my sleep apnea with CPAP for 7 years (I’ve complied with the treatment pretty well, even though it hasn’t been easy). In 2006 I chose to have the UPPP surgery knowing full well there was a risk that the surgery was not a sure thing (it was a very tough experience and you need ...

Re: Curious Question Re. Sinus Surgery & CPAP

I had sinus surgery and UPP.. something. I wasn't asked to bring CPAP. However after I got out of the surgery they put a CPAP mask on me where I could sleep / rest since I was so grogy. Not a bad idea to take since you will know everything is yours (less chance for virus / infection). I think its a ...
