Re: New user, high OAs followed by waking up

My idea is to put your machine on automatic and set the minimum at like 10 and max at 20.

That is the simplest and fastest way to solve your issue IN MY OPINION.

Re: Do you clean water chamber daily or just top off?

i always completely empty it then put a little clean water in it and shake it for like 30 seconds and then i empty that and then i fill with clean water.
i never wash mine with water but I plan on starting to wash it with water like once every 2 weeks. possibly more often than that.

Re: Newbie Question

Yes it helps when not using it.

Because your body and brain and organs were not STRESSED ALL NIGHT while using cpap.

That is the simple answer.

Re: Second sleep study necessary?

if the sleep study is FREE then do it because for insurance to pay for a new machine a new sleep study would help. if sleep study costs more than a hundred dollars for example then just buy a new machine on the internet. I think this site sells them. I am on SSI my sleep study was 100% free and my m...

is mid to low 60 oxygen good or bad?

My sleep study report said my oxygen level was 64 percent. is that bad ?

And to times I was in the hospital it was close to 64 as well.

I apologize if I sound dumb. I have likely had lots of brain damage due to low oxygen in my life.
So I think I have a reason to be hard to think.
