Re: Tongue Retainer compatible with CPAP?

I decided to tuck my chin against the cervical collar as much as possible to keep my jaw in place. I use a cervical collar to prevent chin-tuck, and these x-strips to prevent jaw drop - https://www.amazon.com/Mouth-Tape-Sleeping-Anti-Snoring-Hypoallergic/dp/B0CKKR45X9/ref=sr_1_7 The x-strips work w...

I need something that forces the tongue to remain pulled forward resting against the palate.
If you find something that works well, please update this thread.

Re: Airsense 11 Reboot randomly

How do I set this mode to APAP? Do I have to have ask my Dr. to make this change in the system? All the regulars here take care of all their own settings. There are videos on YouTube that explain how to get into the menus and make changes. Here are some - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...

Re: Airsense 11 Reboot randomly

Is this correct: https://sleephq.com/public/teams/share_links/2bcc7062-dcc6-4367-a502-990a45344029 Yes, it is. There is a gap in the pressure line for 5 minutes starting at 5:15. If you have checked all the electrical connections, I would just watch for it to happen again. I don't worry about one-o...

You indicated in a previous post that you were having trouble understanding OSCAR. How about getting a free account at SleepHq.com, uploading your data, and posting the link in this thread? People trying to help you at this point are operating in the dark.

Re: difficulty breathing with airmini

I use nasal pillows on airsense and use the nasal pillow for airmini. Same pillows models? my setting are min 5 max 8. Those are very low pressures. At anything below 7, I get a feeling of suffocation on inhale. If you are saying it is hard to exhale, that's hard to understand at such low pressures.

Re: difficulty breathing with airmini

What are your settings? Are you using different masks with the two machines?

Folks use chinstraps, chin cushions, and tape... I prefer the tape. Full-face mask helps too... I use both, actually... the tape prevents drooling and mouth-breathing, which will dry you out even in a FF mask.

Did Resmed ever make and market one for the AS11 specifically?
This is not ResMed, but it gets 4.8 of 5 on 58 reviews - https://www.amazon.com/AirSense-Convert ... r_1_3_sspa

Dream Weaver
There is no CPAP mask with that name. Please communicate exactly less you get bad advice.

It sounds like you might have the DreamWear Silicone Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask - https://www.cpap.com/productpage/pr-dre ... k-fit-pack

Please confirm.
