Thank you all for your replies, ya'll are a great bunch of folks. My gp wanted to put me on a inhaler but I refused. I said I thought it would be better if we tweaked the cpap as I was tired of being medicated to fit the machine. Might have been right, might have been wrong...anyway, the pressure wa...

Thanks Rested Gal. There's got to be some way to make this work. I don't want to give up treating the sleep apnea.

Hi Becky, Good luck to you too! I had no problem whatsoever with my sleep study, I think they used an autopap! And I had several really good weeks on CPAP , it was when I had a little sinus drainage plus a wheezing cough that I realized I wasn't coughing so much during the day, only at night using t...

My test showed most events were controlled at 8 but ended up being given a 10. This past week was the first time emphysema was ever mentioned. My oxygen levels during the sleep study were 86% and tested in the docs office, they were 96% last week.

I'm a smoker, REALLY need to quit, I know (and if anybody has tried something to help them quit, that really works, please let me know!) Around the first of Mar...

I thought I posted a reply but I don't see it on the forum. I'm using the ResMed S7 with a heated humidifier (just renting right now) and the Breeze nasal pillows. The C-Flex feature sounds great. I wouldn't have even known to ask for a heated humidifier if it weren't for this group. You really can...

I've only used the cpap for three nights and I am wondering if I'll ever get used to trying to exhale in a hurricane...I do use the ramp feature but when I get up to full pressure I wake up and have a devil of a time getting back to sleep.
