Iron supplementation and periodic limb movement
This post is with regard to the question of which form of iron supplementation is best. I would also like to know how supplementation has helped in addressing periodic leg movement, reducing aerophagia and improving sleep quality. Background: My sleep study has indicated excessive periodic limb move...

Re: Hiccup - ASV issues
Thanks, Huey. I do not intend on making adjustments on my machine without consulting with my doc. BTW, do you know if your doc checked the card data as interpreted by your software with their software results to see whether or not they matched? I read that they can be different. It would be good to ...

Re: Hiccup/air pressure - ASV issues - SleepyHead newbie
Thanks, Oak. I now have the SleepyHead software installed on my Mac and I just downloaded the data from my ResMed S9 VPAP Adapt (Adaptive Servo Ventilator). I am going to spend some time re reading Pugsy's info on using SleepyHead. BTW, here is a repost of more detailed description of some issues I ...

Re: Hiccup
I am going to download the Sleepyhead software on my Mac, but I need to get a card reader. Thanks for the advice and input. I really need to get to the bottom of this sleep hell I am going through. The sleep doc told me the readings on my card were "horrible." This was on my previous machine and bef...

Re: Hiccup
Thanks, Julie and Sir Noddinoff. I see this board sometimes refers to software use. My doc told me ResMed does not have software available for reading cards at home or some such. In any event, I would not know where to begin with using software, and I'm not sure if it would be prudent to be adjustin...

Hiccup - ASV issues
i experience an occasional "hiccup" that happens with higher air pressure settings. i am wondering if it has something to do with a weak esophageal sphincter. Does anyone else have this problem and is there anything that can be done about it? Thanks for your replies.

Re: Resmed S9 VPAP Adapt (ASV) air pressure discomfort
Thanks for the replies. I will look into the new mask although I prefer the nasal mask. Update on third night: I decided to use the ramp for the first time, based on a hunch, and was able to sleep better. I want to check with the sleep doc for confirmation that my central apnea events happen with gr...

Resmed S9 VPAP Adapt (ASV) air pressure discomfort
This is the second night I have used my new adaptive servo ventilator and I'm having an awful time with air pressure problems. I experience periodic strange "snoring" or something flapping in my throat, sensations of pockets of air caught in my throat, air escaping from the sides of my mouth (even w...
