Thanks for the replies. It makes better sense to me now. If I am getting this trigger settings are normally left alone. CAs in the beginning is to be expected. My old auto cpap was set pretty much set at open at 10/18 with c-flex 3. It seems to me didn't spend a lot of time at 18? Usually between 12...

Hello All, New user of Aircurve 10 S. My current settings are IPAP 16 EPAP 12. Don't understand the function of the "Spontaneous" mode? Seems functionally similar to APAP with C Flex set to 3? Except no auto? Really don't get the trigger settings? I have been using the new bilevel for 2 months now w...

Hello All, I was recently switched to BiPap. Been on CPAP (APAP SYSTEM One 10-18) for 6 years. Recently had multiple sleep tests as a possible cause of erratic BP. New Sleep Dr. prescribed straight BiPap 12/16 severe OA. My apnea is very positional side not so bad on my back is way worse borderline ...

Not sure if this is the same thing? When I initially turn my PRS1 APAP mine shows V2.5 I just bought the machine 7 months ago from CPAP.com?

Thanks Pam,

Yes it does a good job minimizing my shoulder pain through the night. It is going to be a short term thing 2 months is when I go back to Dr. Have not had any side effects so far either.

Hello to all, Well after 15 months I finally had a AHI 0 night. I really felt it wasnt possible for me. The Holy Grail for those of us with sleep apnea. After many masks nasal and full face not to mention two CPAP machines and a lot of help from you good people on this forum. It finally happened. No...

hello all,

I recently got fit for life mask total face mask. it is sealing good but exhaling i very noisy? Kind of a hissing noise. curious if anyone else has noticed this? i have an apap set at 12-20 a flex 3. i would like to figure out a way to minimize the noise.

thanks,
john

Hello All, I was looking through alot of posts from as far as 6 years ago on submitting claims to tricare. I actually bought a APAP out of pocket a year ago I just got tired of tussling with DME over it. And just recenly a total face mask( cpap.com).I am going to try and get reimbursed from tricareg...

thanks Pugsy! i am quite proud. You are certainly a big part of my CPAP success. Thanks. Don't know about 20 more but 5 more down to 175 would sure be nice pretty sure haven't weighed that in 20 yrs or more? jweeks I ride a modified Rans VRex. Older recumbent bike... yes one of those weird ones with...

Hello All, Since 1 Jan I have dropped over 20 lbs mostly due to eating smarter (fewer calories and less meat) and getting serious about my cycling program. I have noticed a couple of things with my apnea numbers. They have consisently decreased to below 3 formally they were around 4 or 5. I also dro...

Thanks everyone for the feedback.. I do appreciate it. I just recently got a new quattro fx but still think I may get some kind of an under the chin version next time. Thanks for the ideas. I did try many nasal masks early on with zero success. Got to figure that my jaw is dropping occasionally with...

Hello, I am currently using resmed quattro ff its ok. I have been using it for almost 9 months. I Like the feature of under the chin that F&P 431/432 offers. I occasionally have problems with mask slipping up my chin as high up as my bottom lip. I am full bearded too which I understand can cause tro...

Hello All, Really interesting post to me. I had much the same experience. Been on CPAP now for almost 9 months. Prior to CPAP I almost never had any knowledge of a dream. Maybe as a kid but certainly not for the last several years? Starting at my sleep study and pretty much ever since have been havi...

Thanks hades161... Sounds like a good idea. I suppose as long as I am not going above a certain rate at some point it would make sense to lock machine at a maximum just above highest used pressure predicted? I suspect the reverse would be true too if rate never went above the lower setting to drop m...

Hello All, I have been using APAP for last month. My AHI numbers have went way down from straight CPAP set at 13cm... Feel good and sleeping 6 or 7 hrs a night. Right now I average an AHI of 4 or less. Been tracking pressures used vs AHI. Currently have machine (PRS1) set at 12-20. The average press...
