A friend of mine had that years ago - every time he ate the side of his head would swell out as saliver gland was block - up near temple.

The doctors gave it 4 days to clear otherwise they were going to operate - it cleared and he hasnt had problem since

Thanks heaps for feedback, I didnt think to check vent rates of my mask, still getting used to the whole cpap thing. Im not waking up during the night from leaks and knowing now that leak rate is including the mask vent seems Im probably doing ok with current mask. Last 2 nights I didnt tare off dur...

Just wondering if my leak data below is within normal range - There has only been one high leak warning on machine allthough sleepy head is recording 95% often great than 50. I read on one of the threads someone had a 95% of zero for last 7 days ? Details Most Recent Last 7 Days Last 30 Days Last 6 ...

Thanks heaps for feed back - I do have problems most nights with breathing through mouth - nose blocks. Am considering surgery for this also.

I had surgery 5 weeks ago, It got rid of my apnea and severe snoring Have you had a follow up sleep study to confirm that the apnea events are no longer occurring? Lack of snoring loudly is not proof of no apnea events. Lots of people have sleep apnea and never snore. If you have not had a follow u...

ps my surgery did have complications (severe swelling restricting breathing) although they addressed very quickly (filled me with steroids) and never got to stage of me panicking. They also had to keep me in ICU for 2 days and if swelling didn't subside or became unresponsive to steroids they said w...
