Re: Still Need CPAP?

I find that I am opening my mouth more than I used to. I need to go back in training to resolve that That sounds like you know the favored training method - holding the tip on the tongue on the roof of the mouth as you fall asleep; anytime you momentarily awaken; and even during the day as you go a...

Re: Still Need CPAP?

Yes, I see that it is still increasing the pressure so I probably do need the therapy. I think I need to replace my mask. I will do that tonight and see what happens. I don't know how to reduce my pressure. I used to be able to do it by pressing the button on the front of my machine but that doesn't...

Re: Still Need CPAP?

I guess I need to request a new sleep test once life gets back to the new normal. Follow all the instructions for OSCAR. Post one night's screenshot in this thread . With this information, it is possible to see one of two things relative to your original question: 1. You still need CPAP. or 2. You ...

I have an APAP so pressure is variable.
But, it still has settings for minimum and maximum pressure. What are they?
I used to be able to check that on my machine but it seems like I can't anymore.
No information for pressure that I can see on the MyAir website.

I have an APAP so pressure is variable.

Still Need CPAP?

Hello everyone, I haven't posted in a while. I have lost significant weight. I have been monitoring my machine results for the last few weeks. My AHI readings have only been above 1 one time. They are averaging about .6. Does this mean I most likely don't need my machine anymore or does it just mean...

Re: Anyone make a chin strap?

Is that something I can get at a local pharmacy? I could have my DH get one.

Since this is a short-term situation I would like to try to make a chin strap to use for the rest of the time I will need to sleep in the recliner (2 w...
