Last week I saw my old sinus doctor who gave me an injection of steroid and some nasal spray. The injection helped, but I can tell it is starting to wear off. She said it sometimes takes two rounds of steroid to get relief (this was my second round). Hopefully, the returning discomfort I noticed tod...

oops! Guess I am still learning! Thanks!

Thank you all! I really don't think my mask is too tight - it tends to ride up in the back during the night. I do feel most pressure/discomfort when I first get up, which can take me most of the day to get rid of - sometimes it does not go away totally. My mask does press up on my nose and along my ...

Since I have had my cpap for the past two months I have had recurring headaches, They are much like sinus headaches. I have increased the humidification to prevent dryness. I have seen my PC doctor who thought I had a sinus infection even though I have no discharge. He put me on Medrol and augmentin...

A month has passed since my last post and I think I have done well - met the compliance requirements, saw my prescribing doctor (cardiologist), and sent my modem in to the supplier. For all practical purposes, I have completed my cpap responsibility. I am sleeping well, an avg. 7 hrs. a night. I hav...

Thanks so much for your help! Per my rep, I had to call my doctor about the pressure issue. Evidentially this is like a prescription, and she has to approve. I see her in two weeks, so maybe she'll let me coast at a 4 pressure until then. LOL... I am probably in the CPAP dog house at this point. The...

OK... I am back with some good news, I think! I have gotten my sleep hours w/CPAP up to 6 - 7 a night. I was able to do this by lowering my pressure to 4 however, using some guidance from this site on how to alter your pressure on your machine yourself. So easy! I am now ready to up that pressure, h...

I have requested a copy of my sleep study from my doctor. Checking my info from the supplier, I have a Resp. Dreamstation DSX 500 s11 (?) also a Resp. Dreamstation DSXH heated humidifier. My mask is Dreamstation UnderNose small -1116700 - does that help? I have no idea how to find or interpret data....

Here's what I know: I have a DreamStation with heated humidifier. It was set at 6.0 pressure with ramp feature of 4.0 When I had trouble exhaling, it was suggested I lower the pressure to 4 which I did. That made it much easier for me to adjust. I am using a DreamWare nasal mask with under the nose ...

Reading through some other's experiences, I hope I am doing this right. I have lowered the pressure on my machine to 4.0 which has helped with my exhale concerns and I am more relaxed trying to go to sleep. I am now using a size M mask (started with a S) which helps with the feeling I am breathing h...
