Head Gear Size

Hi, I realized a week ago that my large Quattro FX full face mask comes standard with medium head gear. I have a large head (not a lot of brains or I would have figured this out much sooner). I ordered and received large head gear. I used it last night. So much better. I do not have to cinch the str...

Playing with SleepyHead

Setting here on a rainy day playing with SleepyHead I noticed this.
Should it have been flagged as an event?
Am I right that the red dot is an attempted to jump start by the machine giving a pressure pulse?
Thank you
Ed

Re: Very new to CPAP and ready to give up...mask uncomfortable

Hi, I tried the mask that goes over your nose, my mouth would leak. I was not going to use tape. I tried a full face mask. I could not get a seal. I fought with it for six mounts. I finally gave up. That was 5 years ago. I started to have health issues so I went back to the Dr to try it again. I rec...

Got my machine

Hi, Finally got my machine Phillips Respironics REMstar Auto with A-Flex. (60 series). Any thoughts on this machine? Downloaded SleepyHead and then the patch. Can not open the patch, says that I am missing a mingwm10.Dll file. I have no idea what that means. Should I try the Encore software? Where c...

Re: Can not breath through my nose

Hi, I do not know if I got used to the machine or what but my nose opened up and I could breath ok. I finished my 7 day sleep study. At day 5 I figured out that I can not sleep on my back. The pressure goes to the max and I can not keep a seal. I slept on my side the best that I could (bad Shoulders...

Re: Can not breath through my nose

This is a test machine to find the right pressure for me, no heater or humidifier.
It is a full face mask.
I think that I will give up on the test. If the pressure maxis out each night it will not be a valid test again.
I will contact my Dr.
I will post more when I see what he says.

Can not breath through my nose

Hi, I failed my first week long test because I was told that I did not nave a good seal on my mask. Night one of my second test. It seems that the higher the pressure the more my nose closes. The more my nose closes the higher the pressure goes. The pressure goes so high it blows the hose off of the...
