Still having that nasty air pocket. Ahhhhhh. Trying to deburp currently

http://www.apneuvereniging.nl/forum/pdf/S9clinical-manual.pdf Provider/clinical manual will explain how to get to the clinical setup menu where you can access EPR if you don't have access already. Also explains a bunch of other stuff. Video here might also help if you haven't seen it. http://www.cp...

I will look into the Expiratory Pressure Relief to see if it is enabled. Is this something I can do? Yes, EPR use and at whatever is comfortable setting..is considered something that the patient has control over and it is easy to adjust. If not enabled...turn it on and try it at setting of 2 or 3. ...

"Slept fairly well for 6 hours"....that's really good for a first night. Heck, it took me about 3 months to get more than 4 or 5 hours when I first started. Good job. The air in the gut thing...aerophagia...can be more than just annoying. It can make a person physically ill. Been there myself on ra...

UPDATE. - I have OSA Picked up my ResMed S9 Autoset yesterday and learned mostly everything about the machine. It was set on CPAP mode so I figured I would try that out. It is set at 12. We also went over my sleep study results. In one hour, they have my AHI at: 101.2 without CPAP. 5.6 AHI with CPAP...

Hi - You won't need a prescription to change your machine from Cpap to Apap - once you have it, and the clinician's manual, you can do what you want... what nonsense! They may try to 'lock' it, but that just means you have to change the setting, along with others you may want to adjust in future, s...

Hello, I just got off the phone with my DME and will be going to a fitting this afternoon. I did read the article you provided Julie about what I need to know before I meet my DME. I have verified that I will be getting a ResMed S9 AutoSet. They told me they will be configuring the device on CPAP mo...

W Yes, I have been feeling like my death is near - of course my anxiety is no help to this. I had pretty bad anxiety attacks a few years ago and learned how to cope with them and beat them. Now, its sleep apnea which is throwing me for a loop. I am going to see my therapist in 20 minutes. Sleep apn...

As I stated earlier, I'm still waiting for my CPAP also. But as soon as I was diagnosed (about three weeks ago) i started sleeping on my side right after. Although my sleep is still fragmented, I got deep sleep for the first time in a long time just from switching to my side. Something else I notic...

Be happy you were diagnosed and be happy treatment is available. My untreated AHI was over 60, and now on CPAP it is 0.0 to 0.3. It's a matter of outlook, but the CPAP is comforting and enjoyable. The only bad part is what to do if/when my machine doesn't work. Think of all the people out there who...

Feel fortunate that the condition was caught before one of the major "side effects" came along. Stroke, heart attack, etc, etc, etc. Realistically, even if a CPAP machine doesn't 100% "fix" your nightly events, it will significantly improve them and help you lead a better, longer life. AND...withou...

Thanks everyone. I feel better after reading I may be overreacting. I got a little scared that I was on te CPAP so quickly into my session and then it was all over and back to my normal life without a cpap. I felt vulnerable that I would stop breathing in my sleep for good but I know this disease is...

Wow thanks everyone for your nice words! I am surprised I have so many responses already. Yes, I have been feeling like my death is near - of course my anxiety is no help to this. I had pretty bad anxiety attacks a few years ago and learned how to cope with them and beat them. Now, its sleep apnea w...

Hello, Been very depressed since my sleep study last friday and need some MUCH NEEDED advice!!! During my sleep study, 48 minutes in the study I was wearing a CPAP. I heard I was having 63 events with 20 seconds of non-breathing in 48 minutes. I have to wait till next week to hear my results and get...
