Re: Breathing Issues

Wow... that's fantastic. Thanks for that. I too feel great at the Gym doing Cardio. It's difficult for me in the mornings and in the evenings as well. I'll certainly look into finding a good one. I have a sister who is on all kinds of inhalers. I don't want to go down the same path. I very much appr...

Re: Breathing Issues

I never would have thought of the cold air having an impact... but I can definitely see how it could now. I'm going to make a return trip to my local clinic here, see if I can clear a few things up. I have a new machine on order as it stands now, the PRS1 from respironics. I'll try firing on the hum...

Re: Breathing Issues

It's not uncommon for your lungs, or really the muscles around them to be sore for a while when starting Cpap - they've been out of use for a long time. However, that's only part of your problem and while I know you'll get lots of feedback on it here, it's hard to advise without knowing more, i.e. ...

Breathing Issues

Anybody else experience any breathing issues. I've recently developed a difficulty breathing. Mainly it feels as though I can't get a lung full of air... it's as if I'm restricted for doing so. It's a little un-nerving. I'm going back to the doc tomorrow. The last time I went he blamed it on the CPA...

Re: Which machine would you go buy?

Will do fadedgirl. Thanks a lot. I've been tossed into flux. I'm beginning to lean towards the PR1 side now.

I'm easily lead... if you couldn't already tell.

Re: Which machine would you go buy?

Using a Respironics M-Series with C-flex right now... it seems to be going well. Are algorithims that critical to the process? I'm relatively new... well I am new, and therefore slightly clueless. It only makes sense that they would be I guess. I want the option to be able to track myself and see ho...

Re: Which machine would you go buy?

Machine is brand new. never been used. It was purchased as a backup... He's really lowered the price for me, which is amazing. I will be sure to scope it out before I pay the money. But, all in all it seems like a great deal. The Respironics is a zero hour machine. will cost 508 Canadian by the time...

Re: Which machine would you go buy?

In Newfoundland, not as many options out here.

Thanks for the info. The Autoset II is from a classified. But the gentleman is pretty honest, I think we know some of the same people. Small place this rock. I'm more than likely going that way... just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

Do either of these machines make it easier to follow your progress or sleep activity?
