Re: 2nd Sleep Study shows RLS

Finally saw my consultant today. He said my sleep study showed that my machine F&P Icon auto with humidifier was causing some of my apena due to the sensa wake feature where it lowers the pressure to allow you to fall back to sleep. Well this was having the opposite effect on me. Secondly the RLS, h...

Re: 2nd Sleep Study shows RLS

Thanks for your replies guys
I'm finding the thought of the meds a bit worrying as one of the side effects can be excessive daytime sleepiness.

Have you had any issues with this, it's worrying as I drive a truck for a living and an issue like this I could be saying good bye to my lively hood.

Re: 2nd Sleep Study shows RLS

So I finally got a letter from the hospital today, was hoping it would be my appointment to see the doc. Turns out it's just a brief explanation of my sleep study and tells me little more than I got over the phone. It does say RLS but also that later in the night I snore even with my mask on. They s...

Re: 2nd Sleep Study shows RLS

That's a good point, just quickly over the phone they said I had restless sleep so could be either or both.

Windpipe Stent??

Having a discussion with a friend that had recently had some heart problems, we got on to health in general and he asked if my OSA was cured yet, I laughed. Further on to the discussion we both wondered if it would be possible to have a stent fitted in the part of the windpipe that collapses cause t...

Help with humidifier.

Hi

My details are wrong, I now have a F& P APAP Icon.

It doesn't seem to make any difference what I set the humidifier to, I always wake with a dry mouth.

Any advice for me from you wise souls.

Cheers

Re: Mask vent waking partner

If an air filter lets air in, it stands to reason it will let air out, I think some people are over reacting, I don't think covering the vent with an air filter to diffuse the air flow a little is gonna kill you.

Re: Using a CPAP tonight for the first time!?

My first night with CPAP was only a month ago, again with a S9 Autoset. My advise would be to just accept that you have to use it, and try and make the best effort you can to use as much as possible every night. Also use the ramp function, I found if I didn't I felt like I was drowning in air. The r...
