ASV TITRATION

I started wearing a full face mask on May 21. I had problems off and on and saw my doctor on June 25. He suggested I try a nose pillow mask so I picked one up and started using it on June 26. I used this for awhile and then got a chin strap on July 30 to use with it. I never felt any better but was ...

Re: To Randy, CPAP not working for me

Hi Randy, Thank you for replying to my message. I do have a computer but don't know how to do a lot of things with it. Until I started reading the messages on this forum I had no idea so many people used so many different things to get information from their machines. I just go to my doctor and he d...

Re:Thank you to all replies to CPAP not working for me

Thank you very much to all who replied to my message. I got several very good suggestions that I will try. I do have clinical depression which I'm being treated for. I don't have any way of downloading any data but my doctor has downloaded it and talked to me about it and I have another appointment ...

Re: How do you feel when you fall asleep without CPAP?

I take naps frequently without my CPAP. I still feel tired and sleepy when I wake up which is the same way I feel when I use my CPAP. It has never worked well for me and that's why I'm thinking of giving it up. I'm old so probably won't have to feel bad much longer.

CPAP not working for me

I have been using my CPAP for a couple of months and I don't feel any better. When I tell people this they tell me it takes time and to just stick with it. Why does it take time? Either the machine works or it doesn't. My doctor said the machine would enable me to get some deep sleep but since I sti...

Humidifier stopped working

Has anyone else had their humidifier stop putting out moisture? I have been using my CPAP machine for about one month now and cannot tell it has helped me at all. Then recently apparently the humidifier stopped working because when I checked it the next morning none of the water was gone. This happe...

Feel better by 3:00 pm

I have only been using a CPAP machine for about two weeks. I feel very bad when I first wake up in the mornings, like I haven't slept for days but by about 3:00 pm I start feeling a lot better - more rested and alert, and feel good the rest of the day. I can even stay up till midnight and feel good ...

Chest pain like severe indigestion

I am new to cpaptalk.com. I started having problems in December wanting to sleep all the time and feeling tired. I went to a sleep study clinic in April and they determined I had sleep apnea. My doctor told me the reason I felt like I wanted to sleep all the time was because my airway was closing up...
