HI, I am a newbie also and am interested in learning how to interpret the machine's stats. I had to figure it out on my own after seeing that everyone on this board seems to know their stats. I just figured it out this morning! I was on a fixed setting CPAP before and shortly after my surgery 8 wee...

[quote="prayerful-one"]This is my first time abstracting the data from my machine. Now that I have the data I don't know how to properly interpret it and what if any changes should be made from the findings so I can improve on my therapy.I hope I'm forwarding the correct info?? Any help and suggesti...

Hello, I've posted this on another forum but thought I would post here too. I was diagnosed with mild/moderate sleep apnea about one month ago. I’m located in Canada and the provider of CPAP machines that I’m using allows trials of machines and equipment prior to purchase. I’ve been using a Respiro...

Does anyone out there know how to make small adjustments to BiPAP machines? I've been asking both the distributor and the sleep doc. for help and I got nothing. I've been gasping for air for 7 wks now. I still have horrible headaches every day and I'm still suffering from sleep deprivation and O2 de...

Many of us unintentionally/unknowingly take our masks off in our sleep. If your IN pressure is not high enough, or your nose i...

Yes there are a lot of people that use Bi-Pap machines on this forum. I for one use a Respironics M-Series Bi-Pap Auto. I have been using one for several years now. I use a Swift Mirage II mask. I also have a Opti-life mask. I prefer the swift. I don't really like the chinstrap contraption. Also ye...

Hi, Does anyone out there use a BIPAP machine. Every forum I've gone to are all about CPAP, but I have questions about this annoying BIPAP. My question is, does anyone else using the BIPAP have trouble keeping the head gear and mask on while sleeping? First I have a very hard time falling asleep. T...
