Trouble swallowing air, sometimes mouth is dried out

After using the CPAP machine for a about a month, I started having problems with air in my stomach. I had so much pain in my stomach two nights in a row after only using the machine for two hours both nights. I had an upper GI done and they said I have a weak LES muscle. I didn't use the machine for...

Remstar Plus with C-flex - what do the reports look like?

When I take my machine to my health care provider, what do the reports look like? Will it show what pressure I'm using or how many blower hours (how many hours the machine has been on) or does it only show sessions > 4 hours and total therapy hours? I assume they will plug in the machine to download...

Thanks Bill for putting my fears at ease that I don't have to worry that he could lock the settings on my machine. I am still intimidated by doctors not liking me taking control of my medical care. Most of them just want dumb patients that do whatever they say without question but I give them a run ...

In my case it isn't condensation. I will look further into the plastic cover over the exhaust and find out where the discharge elbow is and check that out too.

Thanks.

Ultra Mirage ResMed mask whistles-how do I make it stop?

I have an Ultra Mirage ResMed mask and I can't figure out why it's making a whistling noise. It was doing this a while back and I thought I fixed it by changing the nose position but now the noise is back no matter what I do. I do have another mask, a Respironics, but I like the ResMed mask better. ...

Re: Changing Pressue? A no-no?

I'm in the same situation as you are. I found out how to change the pressure and am benefitting from it but I'm not sure if I want to tell my doctor that I've changed it. I don't want to make him mad. Also, I worry that he might lock the settings although I don't know if that's possible or not. Pers...

Need info about Respironics Remstar Plus with C-flex machine

I'm having a lot of trouble with my machine because I have Acid Reflex and the air pressure is pushing air into my stomach causing severe pain after only a couple hours! I believe I could still benefit from using the machine if I could find the right pressure but don't want the bother of going throu...
