Re: CPAP is set too high, I need help (newbie)

I'm on top of things. I sent them a e-mail asking if they are open on the weekend and explaining the situation. If I don't hear from them by Monday around 9am, I'll give them a call. I did some more research and I figured out the disposable mask that was used during the study and I'll try that out t...

Re: CPAP is set too high, I need help (newbie)

Thanks for your help. I'm thinking I have the wrong mask even more once I filled out the sizing guide. It said: Given your measurements, the Mirage Swift LT for Her Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear is not the ideal mask for you. Ah ha! Now I just have to narrow down the search for what will fit ...

Re: CPAP is set too high, I need help (newbie)

I'm so frustrated ya'll. I changed the minimum setting to 4 (will bump it up per jdm's suggestion), so it doesn't feel like my head is going to blow up or float up to the sky but now it feels like I'm manually being strangled. My body automatically keeps making me gasp for air and it feels like it's...

Re: ResScan Software Unavailable

Wait a minute you guys. Is the Resmed S8 Series Autoset supposed to have a USB adapter so a person could use this now unavailable (except on piratebay) software? I just received my machine for the first time the other day and there is nowhere to plug in a usb cable and no software came with it. But ...

Re: CPAP is set too high, I need help (newbie)

I will read up on that and have already changed the setting to 4, but might go lower, if it can. I've been a lurker for years around here so I'll get some catching up on more recent topics. Hopefully the advice of everyone helps. I don't care what my doctor thinks, by the way they treat their patien...

Re: How long from sleep study to getting Cpap?

It took me over 6 months to finally get the CPAP. My doctor wrote a prescription and I don't think he ever turned it in. So hopefully you don't have a situation with a flaky doctors office who ignores all phone calls and won't turn in the prescription. As soon as the company got the script, they cal...

Re: CPAP is set too high, I need help (newbie)

Oh my gosh, it's like it's like hacking the system. I feel wrong doing that. Does everyone do this? Won't it show up on the report? Wouldn't doing that disqualify for insurance? Just wondering if changing the setting to about 4-18 instead of 8-18 will get me in trouble.

CPAP is set too high, I need help (newbie)

Hi there, typical newbie here. After 6 long months of waiting to get a CPAP machine, I got one yesterday. It's automatic and set at 8-18 but there's a problem. When I lay down to go to sleep and click start, the pressure of 8 is too much to handle awake. I wore my Swift LT for Her for 30 minutes bef...
