I am a new user myself - I have severe sleep apnea of 82 OSA's / hr and my O2 drops to 70% during the night. I have been on therapy for a week now, and the machine is ultra quiet, my wife doesn't even hear it. I do feel different so I am probably one of those who's therapy is going to take longer fo...

Thanks for the info...my sleep test numbers as I know them were 82 apneas per hr. with an avg length of apnea at 1:00 minute in duration. As far as how I feel...I do feel different, but not fully rested. From the forums here and from my Dr, I have heard of the term 'Sleep Debt', so I am assuming tha...

I am new to all this stuff and was hoping someone could explain the following data to me:

Leak: 0.08L/s
VT: 420-760
MV: 7.1-8.8
Press: 12.2
AHI: 4.6
AI: 0.7

can u explain the purpose of the O-Ring? I am new to this and I use the fx and like it very much for its comfort! I did notice that the medium was a little tights for me, so I switch to the small and it fits perfect.

believe me, I started off on this journey extremely discouraged....changed Drs. and now I feel like I can do this! Having a Doctor that is willing to listen, makes a huge difference.

Has anyone reached the utopia of rest? How about stage 4 sleep?

I am interested in knowing if this is typical or not! I just got my resmed vpap 25, and after 2 days of using it, I feel more tired than before. Not sure if this is an indication that I am finally sleeping and now my body has to recover from yrs of oxygen deprived sleep.

is it typical that after a few days on the machine that one feels more tired than before the machine?

After years of sleep apnea and feeling lethargic all the time, I recently received my first machine. Now I am wondering how long on average might it take for my body to feel rested?

What is your reasoning for CPAP instead of UPP?

OK, I am a newbie who is constantly exhausted and have recently had a sleep study with the results of 82 apneas/hr. My ENT says surgery (upp) since my airway is crowded with tonsils and long palette.

Thoughts and experience welcomed?
