Re: This is probably a dumb question

I cannot figure out how to do a screen shot. I put the screen on Full and press F12 and nothing is happening at all. I have my chart all organized and ready I just can't figure out how to get a screen shot.

Re: This is probably a dumb question

I finally downloaded and uploaded to Sleep Head software with my husband's data. Is someone willing to look at the data with me? My husband is still dealing with regular fatigue - I think it is mainly because he needs a full face mask. I will go in there to check on him and he will have his mouth op...

Re: This is probably a dumb question

Oh I'm sure he needs more sleep. He could get 7.5 hours a day if he made a point to get to sleep right after work. I think our first step will be getting him to bed earlier. I will ask him about quality of sleep and I tried to set up Sleepyhead but I can't do it on my chromebook so I will plan on se...

Re: This is probably a dumb question

My husband has been using the Cpap regularly. The first week he kept taking it off in the middle of the day. He finally keeps it on all day. It seemed to make a difference in his fatigue at first but he still talks about being so tired all the time. He sleeps an average of 6.5 hours a day and usuall...

Re: This is probably a dumb question

Ok I understand now that we don't need two SD cards We haven't set up anything with the software yet. I will look into that today.

We had to return his old mask to get the new one.
I think the mask would be over $100 with insurance. Is that normal?

Do we need separate tubing as well?

Re: This is probably a dumb question

How do I obtain my own mask and SD card? Can I call the medical supply company and explain what I'm doing or is there somewhere else to get them?

Re: This is probably a dumb question

A quick update My husband switched out and got a different mask this morning. He now has a Resmed Mirage FX Nasal Mask. He slept for 5 hours with it - the most he has yet to do in once stretch. We think this mask is the one. He seems to like it. He would have slept more but having to go and get the...

Re: This is probably a dumb question

I just looked at both of our prescriptions and all it says is that the pressure has a min and max of 5-15. It is the same on both of our machines. Would it be possible to just swap out the SD cards? Or does the machine adapt to you as an individual. We will get a second one but I'm just talking abo...

Re: This is probably a dumb question

Ok, I apologize for starting a new thread. I'm used to a much different posting style on other message boards. My husband is saying he can't breathe with the mask on. I think he is panicking about yesterday. He woke up after 2 hours gasping for air. I raised the pressure to 7 and turned off the ramp...

Husband's second day using Cpap - not going well.

First day: He put it on and was able to fall asleep for about 2 hours. He woke up gasping for air and ripped it off his face and he said it took him awhile to recover. He never was able to put it back on after that. Second day: He says he can't breathe at all with it on. We tried a different size no...
