Re: CPAP headache
I was having some problem with my mouth opening during the night. I decided to use an Ace bandage and made a DIY chin strap. For the next 3 days I had a SEVERE headache. I eventually realized it was from the way my teeth were pushing against each other during the night because of the "chin strap". I...

Pressure change...how much??
I need to change the pressure on my machine but I'm just not familiar with how much I need to change it. It is at 10 now. I was told that was low so I'm guessing I need to go higher. Do I go to 11? 10.1? 20? I don't know how this is measured so I'm not sure where to start. Any help is appreciated. I...

Re: Been on CPAP since Aug. and not feeling much
If you only started CPAP therapy in august, how come you got such an old machine? I see your machine as your biggest problem: 1. It's not an automatic CPAP machine. Meaning you cannot use it to titrate your self. The only thing you can do is to gradually increase your pressure and see how it goes. ...

Re: Been on CPAP since Aug. and not feeling much
Thanks for replying. I actually was able to figure out how to get my data!! My AHI last night was 16.18 and I had 131 events. I'm not exactly sure what that means but they sounded important. Help!!

Been on CPAP since Aug. and not feeling much
I've been on CPAP since August and I'm just not feeling much of a difference. I'm still getting headaches and not feeling rested. The one night I spent in the sleep lab was awesome....since then, not so much. My pressure is at 10 and I know that is low but I'm not familiar with how to change it or s...

Re: Just diagnosed. AHI 72
Thanks. I'm in Missouri. I'm actually excited to get my machine since just the 3 hours or so that I was on the CPAP during my sleep study I could feel a noticeable difference. It was unbelievable to me how much better I felt the next day even after having to sleep on my back which is not a good posi...

Just diagnosed. AHI 72
I was just diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and I am not sure what to think. I was told yesterday that my AHI was 72 and I'm just in shock. I'm not familiar with Sleep Apnea so I'm not sure exactly how severe that is but I'm told it's bad. I spent the better part of yesterday crying and I'm not sure if it...
