Re: Big dream night

At some point I stopped dreaming and now I know why. During my sleep study I never went into REM. I can't wait for the dreams to start! I was told that might be a side effect of using a CPAP.

Re: Pain in nose on first night.

Pugsy I am using the ramp. When I do the leak test I really feel like I am suffocating but I feel ok during the ramp just in the middle of the night I can't breathe. Based on other posts I tried medium pillows and they don't fit so I was using small. It also whistled. I'm camping with my cub scouts ...

Re: is it normal to not see a sleep specialist? Also newbie.

Thanks. A Neurologist would be ideal because I also have a neuromuscular disease and need someone to help with that. I tend to stick with my GP because she is awesome - spends an hour with me at each visit. I've had bad luck with specialists. The cardiologist I saw gave off the creepy vibe. Pushing ...

Re: Pain in nose on first night.

You may need to loosen your headgear. I wear my mask so it feels like it's almost too loose. There is a "goldilocks" spot where it is just right. You will find it. In the meanwhile, rub your nose gently, it will help restore the circulation, and the pain should subside. So how do you know when to t...

Re: Pain in nose on first night.

I'm new too and can not breathe with the nasal pillows. Plus every time I move they leak. Curious to see what others say.

I don't see a place for introductions. Been lurking this week and thought I'd say hi. I'm 42. Recently diagnosed with severe OSA. Have snored since I was a baby and even when I was thin so it's possible I've had OSA for a long, long time. Interesting path to my diagnosis. I have horrible headaches e...
