Re: CPAP might not be working, don't know what to do.
Source? My brief research says idiopathic/sometimes linked to high alcohol consumption. Nothing real definitive but I have found this list in more than one place. http://www.pituitarysociety.org/public/specific/cushing/diagnosis_html.aspx These are the conditions that I have that are similar to Cus...

Re: CPAP might not be working, don't know what to do.
It took me a little while to try some experimenting. For starters a tried a new chin strap and although I feel better when using it my AHI has gone up while using it. I think the reason why I feel better with it is because the leak rate has gone down quite a lot while using it and I remember waking ...

Re: CPAP might not be working, don't know what to do.
I downloaded sleepy head last night and look at my info, most of it was only a month or so old with a few categories going back to more than a year. I am at work right now and from what I can tell my numbers looked pretty good. I was averaging about 2.5 events an hour how do I post a screen shot of ...

Re: CPAP might not be working, don't know what to do.
The type of machine is a Resmed S9 36005A. I appreciate the help and have more too look into with the aerophagia and getting a program to read the SD card. Greg

Re: CPAP might not be working, don't know what to do.
I can't get the exact model number at the moment because I am at work. I remember that the machine is set to 13 cm H2O, and I do wake up from time to time with a dry mouth. One of the biggest problems with the machine is that I find it frequently gives me gas which is kind of a cruel joke compoundin...

Re: CPAP might not be working, don't know what to do.
It is a Resmed "S9" I think? It does have a SD card in the back, are there free programs to see how things are going? The thing is that yes they got great numbers but I never really felt any relief from the treatment. Your are told to give it time, give it time but nothing has ever really changed. I...

CPAP might not be working, don't know what to do.
Hello I am a long time lurker and first time poster to this forum and I am very concerned with my current health and severe obstructive sleep apnea. I was diagnosed about 2.5 years ago and even though the numbers looked good from the follow up sleep study I don't think over all the treatment has had...
