I've been on the Auto CPAP since last August. I also am overweight, have diabetes, and a few other issues. In three weeks I am having gastric bypass surgery. I know this is very drastic but I've tried everything to lose weight, only to regain plus add more. I can lose weight but I just can't keep it...

Last night my average pressure was 15.5 at 90%. AHI was 1.4. I think I slept a lot on my back. I see my doctor tomorrow morning. I'm just going to leave OptiStart alone. The heated tube and humidifier is helping me and I do a preheat as well. I'm feeling better during the day. I really need to lose ...

Thanks Pugsy. I'll check. I'm almost at a month with the therapy. Not zoning out at 2pm at work anymore. I have my appt with pulmonologist later this week. We will go over settings.

I'm adjusting well to my auto Cpap. I think. I'm using an Amara view mask. I'm sleeping better and my BF said I don't snore or gasp for air anymore. I upped my ramp to 5 from 4. 4 felt too low. I'm on the 7-20 pressure, however when I turn it Dreamstation on it shows a pressure of 9.5. Then, I hit t...

One week on apap. Started with a F-P Simplis full face mask. Not happy. Just killing my face and leaving red marks even though I loosen the straps. Just put in an order for an Amara View mask. Had a fitting at the DME provider, but need size medium which they didn't have. Also looking for a nice com...

What is SWJ?

My first night with the Dreamstation my AHI was 6.8. Then .06, 1.9, 1.5, 2.2, 2.9. I'm on auto Cpap 7-20 with Simplis full face mask. No leaks. Ordered a Amara view mask. Is this something to cause worry? I assume I'll have ups and downs when I continue this therapy.

Update. Had my current mask adjusted and ordered the new Amara View size medium. Also I asked for a heated tube and was provided with one. The nurse printed out my stats for the last several nights. Nurse said I only have to wash the tube once a week. I've been doing it everyday. The mask does get w...

The highest Flex setting is 3.

Thanks Pugsy. I have an iPad but I can't get the sleepy software, so I'll have to dig out the ole HP laptop later.

I wanted to add a few more questions. My ramp is 4. I'm ok with that and fall asleep quickly. Are there any other settings I should be aware of? I fill the humidifier with distilled water. Don't have the heated tube yet. What setting for humidifier as I get some congestion and stuffy nose. I used th...

Greetings. Having had two sleep studies revealed my OSA is pretty severe. Was provided through my insurance a Philips Dreamstation autoCPAP and FP Simplis full face mask. Not happy with the mask and have appointment tomorrow to see the nurse at Lincare. I'm getting puffiness below both eyes. Mask fi...
