What pressure does your machine start at?

Everyone's needs are different. I have been seriously messing around with mine for about 2 and a half weeks. I still don't have it dialed in.

Good Morning everyone. It's not spring yet. Over the last 18 hours we got drizzle, rain, freezing rain and 4 inches of snow. It makes me wonder why we never migrated south when we were younger. Now we have too stay here because this is where our children and grandchildren are. Well, I made an adjust...

I don't think I would be so hasty in dismissing the concern of Nitrogen in CPAP. In Scuba Diving the air is at greater pressure to allow you to breath it with the added pressure on the outside from the water around you. I don't think the difference in pressure in the Scuba compressed air vs the wate...

Unfortunately not. I was hoping CPAP therapy would help and perhaps it has a little, but not a lot. I had a test for RA but that was negative. Just last week my doctor recommended I see a specialist. Last summer I had a terrible problem with joint pain. Sometimes I could hardly get out of a chair l...

No, I can see them okay. Just thought I would suggest that. Photobucket also allows you to blank out your name and id info on the graphics if that was a concern to you. Nate OK, Thanks for the reply letting me know you can see them. PhotoBucket is a nice idea but I have an aversion to anything havi...

I apologize for the problem with my server. I host it myself and my Router/Firewall did an update last evening. I have been trying to get the problem resolved. I think it's working now. You might want to consider creating and using a photobucket.com account/album for this instead. Regards, Nate Are...

I will send you a link for the new provider manual for your machine in a few minutes. Straight cpap has no variable pressure beyond what you might be using with the ramp (if you use it). So you need to figure out a good compromise ahead of time....if going that route...I would start cpap at the ave...

So your doctor needs to be aware of what you are seeing here and let him determine how much these are worrisome or not. In the meantime about all you can do is see if you can reduce your pressure and see if that will help reduce the clear airway events without causing the obstructive apnea events t...

Something I should have thought to mention is that I have always been bothered by things like soap and shampoos with perfume or conditioners in them. I have also found that chlorine in water makes me ill. I only drink Reverse Osmosis water now. I also seem to react badly to almost all prescription m...

Runny nose, cough etc. could be because your humidifier isn't set right for you. I get those symptoms if my humidification setting is too low. The more you keep your mask on, the easier it becomes to keep your mask on. Ideally you should wear it every time your sleep or nap. If you can't keep it on...

You showed the event tab numbers..those are for the whole night. I wanted to see the hourly average which is the index. On the detail tab (in front of the event tab) is the total AHI along with a separate index for each of the components that make up the AHI... Hourly index is what I was asking abo...

i used to be the same way, looking for excuses to not put it on or reasons to take it off. a trip to the ER taught me that this baby is life saving equipment that i simply must use every single night. i hope you don't learn the lesson that way. as silly as it sounds, the thing i taught myself was w...

What is the AHI breakdown....Clear airway index....obstructive apnea index...Hyponea Index Is it always mostly CA? If always over 5 CA index...your doctor needs to be made aware of this. I don't understand what your asking here. The CA was 55, the OA was 5 and the H was 18. Is there a graph or some...

I'm a religiously and politically active person but I come here for CPAP information.

If you allow some political content now, how out of hand will it get later this year with this exceptional election year.

Keeping the forum on topic seems to me to be the best idea.

Greetings everyone. I sure like the forum. There's plenty to read and learn from. I am new to the board. I apologize for being so long winded but I feel that the whole history is needed to get the right information. I have been trying to use CPAP for a long time, like 2 years but unsuccessfully. I'l...
