Slinky, Yes, I have been on flecinide and metoprolol twice daily for almost 3 years.. I tried the "pill in the pocket" a few times, with a much higher dose of each of those. But, my BP dropped so low I nearly passed out; got VERY nauseated, it wasn't good for me, but I switched into sinus rhythm qui...

I would really like to see that link to a study that demonstrated a beneficial effect of XPAP on AFib. I am a believer now.. So far so good for me.. I have been off meds for 4 days and no afib event... Bons, hope all goes well for your husband.. I think a sleep study is a good idea for afib patients...

Update.. Yesterday I had an appointment with my cardiologist.. he is the go to guy in the Portland area if you have heart rhythm problems. Highly recommended.. After giving me an EKG, reviewing my records, and examining me, he agreed to take me off ALL my heart meds. I just have to take an aspirin a...

Thanks for the input.. I have not had an afib episode for months.. thanks to the meds.. I won't stop taking them without talking to my cardiologist. Just wanted to see if there was anyone out there that had a similar experience.. Guess I'm not alone.. I'm still hopeful that cpap therapy can cure afi...

I was diagnosed 2 years ago with atrial fibrilation and have undergone a couple of cardioversions to correct this and have been on meds to control it since. In Sept, I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Doing pretty well with my resmed for the last month. I haven't had an afib episode in quite a...

I have the S9 Resmed with climateline heated tubing. It does continue to blow for a while (30 min? I haven't timed it) after I turn it off in the morning, after which I disconnect the tubing and hang it over a towel rack until night. I am new to the world of cpaps, so this is the only machine I have...

I appreciate the feedback. Bought bottled water today.. difficult enough to get used to all this without worrying about critters digging around in my head!

Thank you for the great info.

I have downloaded ResScan and guide; my computer is ready for my memory card.. I have a lots to get through and play with..
The tutorial is great! Hope my brain is up to it!
I really appreciate having someone / someplace to go to answer my questions..

Day 3.. I have used my cpap for 3 nights now and I am getting a few things figured out.. (probably due to the increased oxygen, I have a brain again!!! ) and feeling better daily.. more energy, no headaches, not nearly as tired.. But I do have a few questions.. My DME supplier told me it wasn't real...

You are right Pugsy, I am a bit overwhelmed by all the info. But I will learn.. I am really grateful for a site like this.. just happened to hear about it from someone on craigslist.. lucky me! I would hate to have to figure out all this on my own..

I am getting a nasal pillow mask.. not sure if it's like yours. Guess they aren't all alike. I did opt for the climateline thin tubing.. seems to work well..
I knew nothing about the software.. I will check that out. Thank you !
So much to learn..

Thank you Pugsy. I am still working on the settings.. The Resmed is automatic.. so hope that will autoset. Humidifier is set to the lowest setting.. had to start somewhere.. I am using the nasal mask. I am not sure how the fit was last night overall. It went from happy face to sad (adjust) several t...

First, I would like to say what a help this site is to a newbie.. It has answered questions I didn't know to ask.. I was recently diagnosed with severe OSA and severe hypoxemia. Still trying to figure out just what all that means... Day 1- last night I lasted 5 1/2 hrs with mask on. Woke to chest / ...
