I had the same problem with my first CPAP. By dint of much complaining to the pulmonologist, she changed me to an auto set Bipap machine. This didn’t totally get rid of it. I have found that sleeping on my left side prevents insufflatuon. If I sleep in my right side I sometimes will still get some b...

So the AT&T Uverse guy came out to install a new modem since, with all the kids home for the summer, we're seeing a definite degradation in speed that was very annoying. Bumping up the speed required a new modem. What it left us with is the Belkin battery backup used by the old modem, but no longer...

Even after years of using mine, I still get the occasional feeling of panic with the mask on. What I usually do is concentrate on breathing slowly and deeply, counting my breaths. This usually makes the panicked feeling pass and helps me to relax. You can also try 4-7-8 breathing to help relax and f...

We run a white noise generator in our room, which helps even out the noises it the room including any noise my machine makes (not much) and any snoring my husband might do (though I still need earplugs for that). You might give that a try to see if it makes having the machine in the room easier for ...

Thanks everyone! I knew someone here would have the answer. The battery had been fully charged but obviously it had lost charge with just sitting. I will recharge it and resolve to check it more often to maintain the charge. I will buy the standard tubing so I can run the machine without the humidif...

I haven't been up here for a while. I've been tootling along with my CPAP for quite some time now. I've been feeling pretty good though still have occasional problems with fatigue, but mostly it's under control. To get to the meat of the problem, I had bought the power converter for my machine and h...

Now I'm on an auto CPAP and have no problems with aerophagia. My medical history is a lot like yours, reflux with Prilosec, hiatal hernia. Now I'm off the Prilosec, the hernia is not bothering me, and my treatment is working nicely. Keep complaining about the aerophagia to your sleep doctor and tel...

My husband got his Resmed S9 Elite today with the H5i humidifier and ClimateLine hose along with a SwiftFX mask. I got it all hooked up for him tonight with his new hose buddy and CPAP pillow. He's snoozing away at this moment. He definitely felt better after using the CPAP at his second study, so I...

I find that using Breathe Right strips helps with nasal congestion when using my QuattroFX.

I found when I had the bilevel that I had some measure of aerophagia until the pressure was lowered somewhat. When it was the highest it was the worst, then they lowered it a bit and it improved. After a while, I got more used to it. The air would move through, though, even though it wasn't distendi...

When I had the modem on mine, the light on the modem came on at 7 AM every day.

Blame the people who get a CPAP, use it one night, then turn around and sell it on Craigslist and pocket the money. They are the ones who have ruined it for people like us who work hard at it and don't stick the insurance company for a bill for equipment that is never used. The insurance company wan...

I haven't trusted a word out of his mouth since he overblew that apple juice thing and got called on it by other doctors. Anything is fodder for his show. He probably runs out of legitimate medical stuff to talk about, so he just goes for anything that will get him good ratings and sell his sponsor'...

I was glad to get rid of my modem too. I turned it in when I exchanged my S9 VPAP for my S9 Autoset. My insurance required 70% compliance of at least 4 hours per night for the last 30 days of the 90-day probation period. So basically, they figure the first couple of months, you may not be as complia...
