Re: Risks of using Cpap

Re: Risks of using Cpap

Can the longterm use of Cpap cause abdominal pains and Laryngitis conditions? Which Cpap and mask is effective? What causes coughs whilst using a Cpap? There is only one risk of using CPAP - breaking a toe by dropping the machine on your foot. About your abdominal pain, are you talking about air le...

Re: My ResMed 11 machine sent air into my nose last night at a huge volume.

How do I adjust the volume when that happens. Thank you for getting back to me. Regards, Ann Which model mask are you using? What are your machine's pressure settings? If you have AutoStart enabled, you can turn the machine off and let it restart. When it restarts, the pressure will be at your mini...

All of the following must be true for a DME or healthcare provider to view your machine data via AirView: The DME or healthcare provider must have an active ResMed account registered and authorized to access ResMed's cloud-based AirView system, and Your ResMed PAP machine must have the cellular mod...

Re: Is my Deviated septum cause of poor sleep or something else?

Regarding the deviated septum. If you can't breath through one nostril by all means get the surgery. I had septum & turbinate surgery a few years ago, trust me, breathing is better than not. I had issues with nasal congestion and still do. The difference is that I never get to the point where air d...

Please don't do that. It's a terrible waste of resources.

When my sleep doctor retired, I asked my GP to update my CPAP prescription. He knows nothing about CPAP, but he has been writing what I tell him for years.

Re: New and trying to sort it out

1. Your leak rate is OK except for that incident at 4:30. The machine will adjust for leaks up to approximately 35 lpm. 2. For many people, the pressure requirements are higher, sometimes much higher, when sleeping on the back as compared to the sides or stomach. On the back, gravity is directly pul...

I've been clipping right along until I got the Resmed Airsense 11. Now, I wake up at night with an extremely dry mouth
Are you using the exact same settings for the 11 as you were the 10?

Do you control your settings or does someone else?

Re: WristOx2® Model 3150 with Bluetooth® Low Energy

I speculate it will import.

It's listed as a supported device - https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.p ... OximetersI

I speculate the ApneaBoard listing is correct.
