Do I have to see a dr to buy cpap equipment? I am in desperate need of filters, tubing and a mask. Where can I go to get them? I just want to give my health insurance and buy them plain and simple. What is the easiest way to do this?

Thanks

I don't use the humidifier, the hose is plugged straight into the main case. It's only on inhale do I notice the whistling/howling. If I take off my mask and let the air blow you can hear it constantly.

I don't know what else to check.

Well I guess it could be a whistling noise.

Is that common for the machine to get that after years of use?

What causes the howling? Can I fix it? My machine is over 2 years old.

Why did it start doing this?

I noticed that mine cpap machine is now making a howling noise. Sounds as if wind blowing through the window at night. What could be causing this? I've replaced the grey dust filter on the outside of the machine. I have knocked it off the night table a couple of times. Hope I didn't damage anything ...

I wanted to know what you guys are doing for finding another sleep provider? I am in Boxborough MA and have no idea where to go. Should I just talk to my PCP and have him refer me to somewhere? I am in need of filters, hosing and a mask and just need to follow up with my sdcard/care. What is everyon...

How should I clean my equipment? Should I clean my mask and hose by soaking them in vinegar and water? What should I do?

Thanks!

Best thing would be to evaluate your recent usage individually in regards to amount of leak instead of trying to look at a years worth of summary data.

That sounds good. How can I go about doing this?

Hello everyone. Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who helped me in the past. This website truly is a resource. I wanted to know if someone could look at my latest stats. I do not know how to read them. I just wanted some ammunition when I go the the sleep health center tomorrow. I saved the pd...

Hello all. I wanted to know what masks are out there for people with a bigger face? I use the forma extra large full face mask.

Can anyone recommend any other ones? Also what is a good way to avoid leaks?

Thanks!

My slim line hose broke and I wanted to know if I could buy supplies online without a prescription?

Can I also buy straps for my mask and whatnot?

Thanks!

It seems that I have the masks straps on pretty tight. When I am going to sleep I can feel the masking leaking when I am breathing out. Is there other large masks like the forma full face mask? I don't mind trying a new mask but I have to get the leaks under control. Maybe I should tighten the strap...

I'd like to know how to get my leaks under control. I think that is why I am taking off my mask. I don't even realize I am taking it off. I just wake up and it's off.

What do you guys recommend for controlling leaks? Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

I seem to be waking up still tired. I think I am having leaks (posted earlier in this forum) but I wanted to see how I was doing 6 months into cpap and was hoping someone could tell me by looking at the data. I am a 3rd shift worker and normally get to sleep around 10 or 11am to 6pm at night. Here a...

What masks are on the market that are good to use with someone with a larger head?

I have the forma full face mask that is extra large, but I am looking for other masks that maybe able to help me sleep better.

Thanks.
