When I first started CPAP I was a mouth breather so I purchased the Ruby chinstrap. I hated using it so I tried a recommendation from one of the forum members. I put the end of my tongue behind the back of my upper teeth. I practised this all day and now it is habit. Perhaps this technique is what k...

I just realized that his sd card was not being read by my computer! (It had read mine earlier - no problem!)
Problem solved!

Thank you for your help!

I have the Wisp Nasal mask. The kit came with, large, small/medium and "P", which I assume stands for "Petite." I use the large size so I can give the s/m & P to whomever needs them. Just PM me and I'll send whichever size you need. If you are outside the US, I would appreciate you paying for postage.

My son is visiting from out of town and we want to download his SD card to Sleepyhead & Encore. He has the same machine as me - PR 560 Auto. Does anyone have any pointers? I keep getting a message that says download problem. Thanks!

Thank you for your replies, He has to go back to his dr in a couple of weeks to go over his data. It will be interesting to see how knowledgeable (or not) his dr is. In the meantime, my son doesn't want me to help tweak his pressures. Using personal experience with curing my snoring by raising my bo...

I'll ask him. He emailed me 2 nights of data but the print is very small! He's new at this, but I'll see what he will do.
Thank you for your input. If I understand it correctly, unless he needs a pressure >20cm, he doesn't need a BPAP.

My son (age 31) was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea by having an overnight sleep study at the hospital. Unfortunately, he only slept around 5 hours so they couldn't do a titration study. His pulmonologist rx'd a PR 560 with settings 6-20. After 12 days of use, my son's 95% pressure is 16.9. His ...

Thank you Pugsy!

Amazing! I increased my bottom number by 1 and my snores reduced to .8! It worked!

Good point, Wulfman. I'll try doing a nasal cleansing tonight. My humidifier is set at "2".

Thank you, Pugsy! I'll increase the bottom number. Should I leave to top number as is?

I have read various topics about snoring but I'm a little confused. I am posting 2 nights of data. The first night my snores were 16.0 so the next night I increased my top number on my APAP. The snores went down to 9.7 and the pressures went up. I'd like my snores to go down even more. Does anyone h...

Thank you! I will try your suggestions.

I haven't been online for quite some time so I don't know if other people are experiencing this problem. I have never had a problem obtaining my data from Encore. Today I tried and I got a message " A Philips Resperonics card was not found" and it won't let me download any data. Has anyone else expe...
