Re: 28 Days into CPAP-Routine

I have to say I always thought I was a mouth breather (always woke up with very dry mouth) but when I was at the sleep lab I could not resist how minimal the Swift FX looked So I asked if they could try...

Re: Buying a pulse oximeter
Well looks like we came across the same one and posted it at the same time.
My concerns with the finger only model is it may come off during sleep. I like the other one for the fact you can get the information to transmit directly to your computer with the available add on.
