Re: What is your Average AHI

I have been on cpap for 5 weeks now and my AHI is 0. Last night it was .2, but rarely do I have any events. Still waiting to not feel tired anymore though!

Re: S9: Please Wait....Erasing SD Card Data

I had a problem with my card last night too. After taking it out of my computer I went to put it back in my cpap machine. The screen read, "invalid sd card. erase data?" Anyone ever have this happen before?

Re: HELP! Ugly black bruise mark on my nose bridge

after suffering longer than a week with a deep and dark red impression on the bridge of my nose and 2 sores on each side, I decided to try and use 2 bandaids. I use small flexible fabric bandages each night and there is no longer any sign from my mask!

Re: Great #'s but still tired!

My sleep schedule is pretty consistent. I go to sleep at 10 and wake at 6. The dr suggested I go to bed an hour later than usual which I did on Tuesday. Last night there was no way I could stay up an hour later,I was beat from the day at the beach!

Re: Great #'s but still tired!

I have the software and my leak last night was 0. If there is any leaking , it's really minimal. I do not wake with a dry mouth either. Guess I need to catch up from years of bad sleep! During my initial study my AHI was 7.4, but he said there was alot of leg movement which may contribute to me waki...

Re: Great #'s but still tired!

I don't have any problem breathing, in fact when it's on I don't really even notice it too much. I prefer the ramp feature turned on as one night I removed the mask for a few minutes and didn't like putting it back on at full pressure. My ramp is set for 5 minutes.

Re: Great #'s but still tired!

months to feel better??? That's not what I wanted to hear! Anyways, my doctor said to call him if the increase in pressure didn't help after the first night. I gave it 2 nights and just called so now I will be going in to pick up a pulse oximetry. You are correct that my machine is set on ramp. He d...

Re: are they any click instruction threads for rescan 3.10?

My screen says the same thing. Then I click on open patient and click on my name and then my file is open to download the new data for the day. Did you creat a file for yourself under new patient?

Re: Sore and Red Bridge of nose

Hello, I had the same problem too. Last week I decided to to use 2 flexible fabric bandaids along the side of my nose to the bridge and it helped tremendously! Just wish I would have thought about it when I started using the machine 2 weeks ago! No more red indentation and the 2 sores on the side of...

I have had my machine now for 7 nights and have not felt any improvement yet. I am still waking up 3-4 times a night, about every ...
