Re: Swift LT - Shortness of Breath

I absolutely have the same problem with the Swift LT, I do not get good air flow with it. The Swift is very comfortable and I have really tried to make it work, but I just cannot seem to get enough air on some nights. I have switched to the Opus 360, the head gear on it is not as comfortable, but I ...

Re: Just can't do it...

I feel sure that the majority of us have been there and can sympathize with your frustration. I have been on CPAP about 5 weeks now. I do not look forward to hooking up to that machine nightly, but I know that I sure do feel a great deal better, no more heart palpitations during the night, no more n...

Re: Learning to use a new mask – Opus 360

Well I put the Pad-A-Cheeks on last night and that really made a huge difference! The pressure from the side pieces and the face marks were totally eliminated. I still did not make it all the way through the night with teh Opus as I awoke after 2:00 A.M. with my nostrils burning, I apparently need t...

Re: Learning to use a new mask – Opus 360

I too have recently purchased an Opus 360 and tried it for the first time last night. I have been using the Swift LT, but some nights it feels like I am not getting enough air even though my machine is set to start at 9cm with a Bi-Flex setting of 2. I have a Hybrid and I found that the nasal pillow...

Re: OK, I heard the radio over my cpap too.

I vote for "embedded subliminal recordings from the PAP manufacturer". Are you sure they were not saying, but more masks, buy more masks? Apparently mine is as I have this unsatiable appetite to buy and try ever mask ever produced!

My mask journey

I am going on 5 weeks of CPAP and I am still trying to find a mask that is comfortable day in and day out. I have discovered that I do not like to have my mouth covered, so full face masks are out. The Swift LT Nasal pillow is ok, but I prefer the natural breathing sensation of a nasal mask. My DME ...

Re: SleepNet IQ Nasal Mask

Wow, no one uses this mask? I guess that either does not bode well for this mask or that company needs better salesmen! if anyone has any experience I would like to get your feedback. Thanks!

SleepNet IQ Nasal Mask

Does anyone have any experience with the SleepNet IQ nasal mask? I am not going to be happy until I try every mask available, or go broke trying. Any experiences that you may have with this mask would be very appreciated. I am using a Swift LT with an auto machine right now, the Swift is very comfor...

Re: Spoke too soon!

Wow, your experience sounds just like mine1 I have been on CPAP 3 weeks now. My first day I went home, told my wife I was going to the bedroom to put on the mask and try to get used to it in hope that would get a little sleep that night. I went to sleep at 7:00 P.M. and slept all night like a baby. ...

Stuffy nose and nasal pillow

I had a stuffy nose last night and tried to sleep with my Swift LT Nasal Pillow, but I could not breath good and had to change to my backup Respace Hybrid mask. I wanted to see if the Nasal Pillow users on here have any suggestions or tricks they use when their nose is stuffy. I would rather sleep w...
