Re: still snoring while sleeping on my back

The company is not milking me. I live in Israel, prices are much higher here. Internet is not an option, because when it arrives here it gets taxed. The $400 is the difference in price between the 2 machines. As far as a spare, I am waiting on a price quote to repair my old devilbiss. First in 2003 ...

Re: I am having day surgery next month, any advice?

I just saw this question. If I am not too late: Take your machine with you in case you need to stay over night. I had surgery, and they had difficulty putting the breathing tube in, they ended up using a childrens size. I imagine that may be from my blockage. Anyway, now I have to keep a letter with...

Re: still snoring while sleeping on my back

Thanks to everyone for your advice. I have a standard machine, not an auto one. It is set for a constant 12. My insurance only pays 50% and they don't feel I need the auto adjust machine.

still snoring while sleeping on my back

I have a devilbiss standard sleep cube machine, the pressure is set for 12. My husband says I am now only snoring while on my back. Do I need to increase the pressure. If yes ,by how many increments. Any other position is okay.
