Hi! I'm sure there's a post on here somewhere but I cannot find one! I'm about 3 months into being diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I've adjusted to pretty much everything except 2 things. Background, I ramp on 4 to an air pressure of 7. The problem I'm having is with the noise of the machine. I hea...

WOW! thank you for all your responses! It's seems as if the humidifier is THE way to go! I'll get it set up tonight and give it a go! Thank you soo much for all the advice! It's great to be able to hear from soo many who have been where I'm starting! Hopefully one day, I'll be able to return the fav...

Hi, I have situation I'm not sure what to do about. I'm fairly new to the cpap machine, as of June 9th actually. At first my nose got really dry so I started using the Ro Ezit cream but it makes my nose dry up even more. So I stopped using it. Then, a couple of weeks ago, my allergies started gettin...

Hello Everyone! I am looking for recommendations on masks. I have tried the one on my profile and am currently trying the resmed swift fx for women. I liked the one on my profile, however it marked up my face and I found it a bit cumbersome. The nasal pillows i sleep better with but i can hear mysel...

I'm trying the same mask right now also, and am having the same EXACT problem. I tried the small first and they whistled like crazy. I then tried the xs but kept fighting with the hose and some other issues so i went back to the small thinking that was the problem, but the whistling irritate the mes...

thanks Emilia! I've only had my machine maybe 2 weeks??!! I'm definitely going to call my Dr. on Tuesday and see if i can switch! I would like to have the option to see which works better especially since I'm waking up at the same time every early AM with the same issues. P.S. Your cat is gorgeous!

thanks hosecrasher! Your situation with the CPAP sounds like the one i'm having. When I wake up there's soo much pressure, i almost feel like i'm suffocating. Good to hear the APAP is working is for you!

Hi! I'm newly diagnosed. I have a CPAP + machine, device model listed below. I have questions for the apnea veterans...A quick background.. My machine has the pressure relief feature but it was soo loud when it changed pressure levels it would wake me up. We ended up adjusting it so now there is ver...

I SOO understand what you're feeling. I'm on my 4th night of CPAP and I'm still sleeping in the spare bedroom until I get used to it. I was soo terrified of this process I actually wrecked my car 2x from being emotionally pre-occupied and exhausted. The one piece of advice I can give you is to think...

Hi Everyone! I am on my third night of sleeping with my CPAP machine and i have a question! When my machine is on the level prescribed by the doctor, i can hear myself breathing in and it sounds like snoring. I know it's NOT snoring because I've tested it while awake holding my breath to see if the ...

WOW!!! Thank you all soo much for the information! I can see I have a lot to read up on and think about! I greatly appreciate the input ya'll have given and am going to start researching what you've suggested! Especially now that i have all this energy and won't need a nap today!

GM! And i say that happily as I just completed my first overnight stay with the CPAP machine! I can't believe I am up at this hour with less than 7 hours of sleep and feel great! I'm hoping you seasoned sleep apnea members can give me some advice. My sleep apnea clinic has said I HAVE to get my mach...
