Re: Struggling getting used to CPAP. Help!
If you are using the ClimateLine heated hose in automatic humidity delivery mode (that's the factory default when the heated hose is attached) you can change the temperature and not be changing the humidity delivery...it will still try to maintain 80% delivery no matter what temperature you choose....

Re: Struggling getting used to CPAP. Help!
Use a quiet fan to blow air in the direction of your body and your machine intake. COOL air makes you feel significantly less confined than warm stale air. Or simply crank the AC and use an extra blanket. Breathing cold air makes all the difference. Do you have exhalation relief set to max? I agree...

Re: Struggling getting used to CPAP. Help!
I slept almost 7 hours with my mask on last night! Increasing the starting pressure really helped a lot. I didn't feel stifled as I was trying to breathe in. I think I will mess with the exhale regulator tonight, as I did have a little trouble exhaling. I think this is the first night since I got my...

Re: Struggling getting used to CPAP. Help!
They may have the ramp function turned on so that it starts out at the minimal 4 cm pressure and slowly increases until it reaches the 10 cm prescribed pressure. 4 cm can sure feel like we are suffocating with it. While some people are okay with 4 or 5 cm...the majority of users find that they need...

Re: Struggling getting used to CPAP. Help!
When I first started in September 2013 I had a few nights using a nose-hose that I woke gasping for air through my mouth. I went back to the DMEC provider who looked at the statistics from my first couple of weeks and adjusted up the minimum, but me in a full face mask. That helped but sometimes I ...

Re: Struggling getting used to CPAP. Help!
Could you tell us your pressure settings and also which S9 model you are using (there are four: Escape, Escape Auto, Elite, and Autoset)? Better yet, go to User Control Panel and add your equipment to your profile. I've updated my profile and I'm using an Autoset. I also found that I am using a dif...

Struggling getting used to CPAP. Help!
Folks, I received my CPAP about a month ago and I'm really struggling with it. I think it may be OCD or mild claustrophobia (neither of which I have been diagnosed with), but I constantly have the feeling that the mask is slightly restricting my breathing, and that's very uncomfortable for me. I've ...
