Re: I like to stop breathing...for a few seconds...

I recently noticed a similar thing and asked my doctor about it. He explained that at the point where you fall asleep, it is normal and expected for you to stop breathing temporarily during the transition to automatic breathing. Machines report these occurrences as central apneas and may attempt to ...

Re: Failed with CPAP, trying Provent

Drugs are a temporary course of action. It may work better for you to try to habituate yourself to the device, in particular, to assume that you should be comfortable with the machine, and to solve problems that make you uncomfortable. In particular, you need to identify what is happening differentl...

Re: My first weekend.

Hey Kona,

Could you upload a copy of your SD card to online file storage like Dropbox or Google Drive and send me a link by PM? I'm a programmer, and would like to look into what's going wrong for you.

Re: Jedimark needs help with SleepyHead

Hi everyone! I'm waking up after a very successful Night 2, part of a week-long titration study with a ResMed S9 AutoSET. I wanted to thank all of you for being so forthcoming with stories and information and general positivity on this forum. I had slightly under a month between my diagnosis (34 AHI...
