Do the Resmed Quattro and F10 use the same cushion?

I have a Resmed F10 mask. The other night, the cushion tore rendering it useless. I did some searching on ebay for a new cushion and this listing came up. It seems to insinuate that the F10 and Quattro use the same cushion. Is this true? I don't want to order the wrong cushion. https://www.ebay.com/...

Re: Will central apneas show up in reports?

Should I worry about the 21 central apneas that occured during my sleep study? My AHI has been under 2 most of the time over the last couple of weeks. Sometimes it is a little bit higher, sometimes it is much higher, up to 30 or more.

Will central apneas show up in reports?

I had a sleep study done about a year and a half ago. I had 77 obstructive apneas and 21 central apneas that night. I now use a CPAP machine and while it helps, it hasn't been the game changer that I hoped it would be. If I generate a report using Dreammapper or Sleepyhead will it show central apnea...

Re: My sleep study results

The bad nights are seemingly random. I am on several medications, including Ambien.

My sleep study results

I had a sleep study done a little over a year ago, and I've been using a CPAP machine since. It helps but it isn't a cure. On some nights my AHI is less than 1 and on some nights it gets as high as 30 or 40. Here are a couple of screenshots from my sleep study. Should I be concerned about having 21 ...

Re: Which Pad A Cheek should I order?

My suggestion...if you haven't tried the Respironics Amara View full face mask give it a try. It totally eliminates the over the nose area that is prone to leaking and blowing in your eyes. I am seriously considering trying an Amara View. I have a regular Amara full face mask but it blows in my eye...

Which Pad A Cheek should I order?

I have a Resmed Airfit F10 mask that leaks around my eyes really badly. Sometimes I wake up and my eyes are almost swollen. If I have the mask and machine on the air blows into my eyes, making them water. I have been told that I should use a mask liner. I have also been told the Pad A Cheek is the o...

Air blowing into my eyes

I have a Resmed Airfit F10 and I also have a Philips Amara full face mask. They both leak up around the top, and make my eyes water. Are they just adjusted incorrectly or do I need to buy a smaller mask that isn't a full face mask? If so, what is a good model to use?

Re: How bad were my sleep study stats?

101.4 was not a typo. I was surprised it was that high too. I thought I slept well that night.

How bad were my sleep study stats?

I had my sleep study done a year ago. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and was prescribed a CPAP machine. I received the results a couple of weeks after I took the test. Here are some of the numbers that stand out: Epworth Sleepiness Score 13 Total time in bed 392.6 min Total sleep time 310.5 minute...

Air blowing into my eyes

I wear an Amara (not Amara View) mask (a full face mask that covers my entire nose) and air blows into my eyes. I adjust the mask but I can't seem to completely stop the leaks. Sometimes I wake up with swollen eyes because of it. I can't really afford a new mask at this time but is there anything I ...

Re: Why has my AHI gone up? (w/screenshots)

Is anything different on the last screenshot? Me thinks you are the only one who can answer that. Diff sleep position? Cocktails that nite? Something you at? Nothing that I know of was different. I don't drink alcohol so that can't be it. I didn't take any medications that I don't normally take and...

Re: Why has my AHI gone up? (w/screenshots)

My AHI has been excellent over the last 2 weeks. Last night, however, it was awful. Here are the screenshots for the last seven days. Is anything different on the last screenshot? http://i.imgur.com/kBr8eHH.png http://i.imgur.com/ecfDNWy.png http://i.imgur.com/NQ0Xf2S.png http://i.imgur.com/tu7t4UQ....
