Re: MY AHI is increasing

My ramp is a 5 and humidity is a 2. My husband says this mask is quiet and he dosent hear any leaks.. Do I call the Dr and see if he would raise the pressure or what.
I have no health insurance any more so at this point I cant afford to go in to him. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: one month on cpap and more tired than before

Should I try some sort of tape to close my mouth and see how I feel if so, what kind or what should I do?

one month on cpap and more tired than before

I have used my cpap for one month now and I am more tired and crabby than before.
I dont know what is going on or why? A few times I have also woke up and felt like I was choking.
Any ideas?

Re: congestion, ugh

I have used the Vicks fine mist nasal spray., You use it once every 12 hours and for me its been a life saver.
Its like $5.00 at walmart.
