I was using the Wisp mask but I have sense picked up two others to try and also have backups so I can change them around. (Dreamwear and a full face) The problem I am running i...

Not immediately but it does go away if I adjust to mask

I already have my Apple Watch and take my BP twice a day and it links right in and also my scale syncs to Apple Health. l also use the Alivecor mobile ekg for my afib and I am awaiting the ...

You already have it available in the AirSense 10 series - do not include the AirStart machines in thinking of solutions. http://www.resmed.com/us/en/consumer/newsandinformation/news-releases/2014/resmed-s-new-consume...

Thanks for the input. I don't need a travel size one at the moment but in the next couple months I will be looking for one. Although my fear is I rush out of the oncall room and forget to take the mask off and either I break the machine or my neck lol

So I'm 1 night into this whole CPAP life and it's not horrible but I feel it could be better. I want to try different mask options but my HMO approved DME only has two options.

In my experience DOs often see themselves as distinctly apart from MDs as having a more personal engagement in the healing process - if that is common in your program, use it for your own benefit. The nitty-gritty: look for points of attachment and commonality and use them. Comment: In my local DOs...
