Do you know if they make something to help prevent sores on the bridge of my poor husband"s nose from his make (see below for type). And if so, will they create air leaks ? He is convinced any such thing will create leaks.
Thanks!!

Plugged up ears upon waking up
Hi all! Is it common when using a CPAP machine to wake up with plugged up ears? Hubby has been having this for a few weeks now. He doesn't have a cold or anything. His ears eventually clear out, but it takes a long time. It pretty annoying for him. Any ideas? He has been on CPAP since early Dec. and...

Re: Does my husband need a sleep doc?
Then who analyzes the data on his SD card or whatever that is called, or who decides when you need a new study, ever?

Does my husband need a sleep doc?
My husband got his first CPAP at age 62 about 2 months ago. His family dr. finally ordered him a sleep study, which frankly I consider negligent. He has been deathly tired for a lot of years. He kept giving him Xanax, among other drugs to help him sleep before. So this family Dr. did finally order t...

How old were you when you got your CPAP?

Lying on side..air leakage
Hi all, I posted about a week ago for my husband who has yet to join this forum. I think when he gets more rested he will. He just changed masks from the ResMed Swift FX Nasal Pillows mask to the ResMed Quattro FX full face mask. He is a mouth breather, so this is helping. He is doing better on this...
