Okay I was just googling some of what you had wrote and I am actually questioning if I have the opposite problem, hypercapnia. Or basically high CO2 levels. But everything I am reading on it is very confusing. So a few questions. 1. I know without a doubt my breathing is crazy when I first put on th...

I agree I was awake for that. I generally fall asleep in like 2 minutes But when I put the mask on it takes me longer because I still feel suffocated at first. I suppose you can see that at the start with all the activity. After I have it on for 5 minutes or so, I relax and then am fine. Ive also no...

I hope you don't mind me showing you one more. I skipped a couple nights due to rough days at work and tried again last night. I didn't sleep long again, but I still slept longer than the previous. I am starting to think I will eventually adapt if I keep plugging away at it. I'm off Saturday and Sun...

Thanks all!

So today, I slid the little lever on it so it was read only and then put it back before using again in the machine. I also unplugged the machine, seemed to work fine.

I also got mine from there. I went new but it was a great price and they answered a ton of questions from me.


I also like cpap.com, aren't they the owner here? I got my mask from them and they were so fast!

Okay, let's try this again! I got some readings this time. I only slept for 2 hours, but still, at least that's two days in a row I fell asleep. I wish I could just fall back asleep but I always wake so panicky. I'm sure that will get better over time. I really have no idea what I am supposed to be ...

Ya know, I'm 41 and I'm the surgery scheduler/tech. The doctor does about 10 cataract surgeries per week....and it would still freak me out too. They are his eyes, so he's going to freak out. That's totally normal. He will probably freak when hecreads the consent form too. But man, he will see so mu...

OMG, I am ordering one of those RIGHT NOW! lol Being able to yawn would help me mentally get around the suffocation feeling. Thank yoU! And good to know you can learn to talk with these. I keep writing stuff down on a piece of paper for my husband because I can't speak, LOL

BTW, I noticed my nose is getting a bit sore from the pillows. Any suggestions on what to try first? I tried loosening the strap but then it leaked. I have the pillows at the tallest setting, but when I lowered them it leaked. I'm wondering if maybe I should try lowering them and then using the pant...

Yes it was set to usage, so I turmed it on. I think I love you! LOL I also turned the ramp off permanently and set the minimum pressure to 7 (so a range of 7 to 12). That way it will help the suffocation feeling. Quite frankly, I am most comfortable with the 8 setting. Do you think it would hurt me ...

Thanks for all of your suggestions, I will try them all out. This is just so unnatural and uncomfortable for me. I just don't know if I can actually do this every nite. I don't have much advice, but just wanted to offer support. I'm right there with ya! I've learned for me that the suffocating feel...

I'm just putting it in a card reader in my computer. Does it lose the info from sleepyhead?


I tried unplugging it, but same thing.

If you can show the events graph that show up on the right side of the detailed page... No data there. It's very odd because I don't even know if I am having apnea episodes. Since it says no data, I am guessing no. BUT, if you remember I have been complaining of the pressure rising very high the mo...

When I put my SD card back in my machine today, it says invalid and wants to erase it. Anyone know why that is?

Well, I got some readings but not much. Did I have leaks? It looks like no apneas but some AHI? I still don't fully understand what AHI is other than partial closure. In my study, I had relatively low apneas but high AHI. Can you all explain what thy means to me. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e6...
