I can only breathe through one nostril at a time

I have had a cpap for a year. My mask is a nasal pillow. It fits and i like everything about it except i can't breathe through more than one nostril at a time. First it will be the right side, then I lie on my other side and before you know it, it switches and the other side is stuffed up. I have tr...

Re: OT: Anesthesia for OSA Patients During Joint Replacement

Hi there I am having a hip replacement as well. Many of them are done with spinal anesthesia but they give you sedation so you have no idea what is going on. I was terrified at the thought of surgery until I went to a site called Bonesmart, earlier this month. They are a group of amazing people. who...

Re: blue veins

Veins are larger than arteries. They are also closer to the surface because they are involved in the cooling off of your body and carry approx 2/3 of your blood volume at any given time. While it is true that the blood in your veins is de-oxygenated, it is never blue but rather a deep maroon whereas...

Re: recovering from ? years of sleep deprivation

Hi No Sleep for You You should know that I have only had my c pap for a week so though I have had great results I am not qualified to advise anyone. Your comment about poor eating habits made me think of something though. If I have sugar in the evening or something like popcorn, rice or white bread ...

Re: REMstar Plus C-Flex Sleepyhead???

Hi Pugsy, Yes i saw the new mask and will be very interested to hear the reviews. i have long hair so would certainly consider that in future if others find it as comfortable as the Swift FX /women. Good tip about the nasal pillow exchange as i won't need the medium. I really wondered about the supp...

Re: REMstar Plus C-Flex Sleepyhead???

HI Pugsy and jedimark Well I met with the supplier today. He gave me the soft wraps and extra nasal pillows which had been removed from the bag. Said he didn't know why the soft wraps weren't there and that he had been instructed by Phillips Respironics to only give one set of nasal pillows to the c...

Re: REMstar Plus C-Flex Sleepyhead???

Thanks for the encouragement Jedimark. i did look up the Consumer Protection Act and I think I have grounds to request that they take it back. I plan to pursue it tomorrow. In terms of your question Tetragon, the Swift FX mask for women was $ 250. I saw it on-line for half the price. That was U.S. s...

Re: REMstar Plus C-Flex Sleepyhead???

Thank you both, Pugsy and Jedimark for your replies. When i purchased the machine at Shoppers Home Healthcare in Ontario, Canada, I told the person ( said he was a respirologist) that I wanted to be able to record and read data. He said I wouldn't be able to read it myself but I could take it to him...

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

I have only used my cpap for 6 days and felt a difference from day one. I did have sinus pain for a couple nights but have solved that problem.(room freezing..air too cold) Whereas formerly my muscles felt like they had shrunk overnight, they don't feel that way in the morning now. Also i often didn...

Re: Would you be happy with a compliance only machine?

The problem is that new c-pap users like myself don't know what to ask for when purchasing. The person I bought my cpap from said there is an SD card which records all the data. However I can't seem to get the Sleepy Head program to work with it so maybe it is a compliance only machine. I really don...
