Re: Wish me luck...

Actually I believe that the problem is compounded by the pressure. But so far the DR. is convinced that I need to be under the high pressure and will not lower it. The machine I have ramps up the pressure and at the lower pressures the masks work fine. Since I am locked out of the machine I can not ...

Re: Update: Spoke to Sleep doc, rough night yesterday

Reading this got me to thinking about something and maybe you all can help shed some light on it for me. I suffer from Chronic Atrial Fibrillation. During my last cardio-version I also under went a TEE (trans Esophageal Ecocardiogram) where they slide the tube down your throat. After the procedure (...

Wish me luck...

I've been on CPAP for just over a week and tonight I am trying my fourth mask. The first, a Comfort gel nasal would not work since I tend to mouth breathe once I fall asleep and relax. The flexi fit 431 just would not seal at the pressure level I use (19cm) and the Comfort gel full face would seal b...

Thank You! I guess the PR stands for Phillips Respironics. I'll get used to all this eventually.

Re: Ok, I'm new, but I've got a lot of ?'s

Based on what you're saying about a SD... you've got the wrong machine in your profile. It also doesn't match your humidifer and based on what you're saying about the SD card, I'd guess that your humidifier is right. You're right about the machine. I have the REMstar Pro C-Flex+ but it is not liste...

Re: Ok, I'm new, but I've got a lot of ?'s

Thanks for the replies. I've populated my equipment list as suggested and now I've got another question. The CPAP has a SD card inserted into it. What does this do and I see a lot of mention of "the software you are using" but I have no clue as to what this is. I am assuming from what I have read is...

I have a few questions that I have not found suitable answers to ( I'm sure they are there and I just did not find them) and sure could use some help. But first, a bit about me. I have suffered fr...
