Re: Sleep Apnea and root cause...

Thanks..

My neck size is 16

No family history for SA

Snoring started louder in recent years. Also felt tired in the mornings and day.
Now with CPAP no snoring detected.

Used nasal mask with hose on top. iPhone app shows mask fit 100% and disconnects 2

Hope the therapy continues to work.

Re: Dreamstation CPAP pro with humidifier and heated tube

Thank you for all the replies. I will get a APAP, but for initial use will set at 10. As you suggested it's ideal to go with auto mode going forward.
