Thanks for your reply. Everything is exactly the same, except for the pressures for the BIPAP. My numbers are good. The last 30 days AHI was 1.4. I guess I will keep working at it. I drug out my old Resmed to try for a few days to see it it makes any diference?

I have been on CPAP for more than 11 years. Recently, after having been put on BIPAP with a new machine I have been getting horrible dry mouth at night. Waking up with no moisture in my mouth at all. Never had this problem before. I don't know if it is my dream machine or what. I need humidity, but ...

I don't think so that it turn off until you pull the plug out. I have Phillips Respironics Auto cpap and I too wondered about it. I did a complete reset of all the data. Now it is giving me 0.7 every day for an AHI because the first night after the reset I did get 0.7 which is about right for me. J...

I do that all the time and nothing happens to fix my problem.. Every morning it says my AHI is 2.1. Eight days in a row of 2.1 is not correct. I am usually at 1.0 or lower. What is wrong that it keeps saying 2.1?

I was toll I needed to do a 'reboot' of my machine which might help fix a problem. They said to first turn the machine off. Then unplug it. Wait 15 minutes then plug it back in and turn it back on. [Almost like a reboot of a computer] How do you turn it off? I have a Dreamstation Bipap. Thanks. Jeff

Thanks again! I am new to all of the BIPAP stuff. Been on straight CPAP for 11 years, then after a sleep study (which medicare demanded) my sleep doc put me on BIPAP. Must say it is working fine at a 18/14 pressure. My AHI's are now for the most part under 2! No more restless legs and I am sleeping ...

That is good to know. I will turn that number to 0. Last night it was in 4 but probably didn't make a difference. I am using a ResMed Mirage activa mask. Thank for the help.

With my old resmed there was a window that allowed me to change from nasal pillows, to nasal mask to full mask. Where can I find it on this new machine. The only thing I could find was a mask fit with numbers from one to five! There has to be away. Thanks.

Do you have a copy of the results of your sleep study?[quote][/quote]

Yes I do. Appaprently the lab tech had the bipap set up differently than the one my sleep doc recommended. Any way currently I am happy with my therapy!

Actually the whole point of the bipap is to reduce the pressure during exhale.

Well it is reduced from 18 to 14. I am just wondering why at the sleep study it felt like it was forcing me to exhale? I was still breathing in when all of a sudden it forced air out?

Anyway I am getting good results!

I was recently put on a Bipap machine. The one that I was on for my titration study literally forced me to exhale. The one I have now, the Respironics Dream machine does not. I can't tell the difference between the Bipap and my old Cpap. Breathing is easy both ways. Inhale pressure is set at 18, exh...

OK then. Will be looking forward to that number in the morning and hope is is good!

Thanks so much, Jeff

Thank you both for the help. I wish the AHI would just show up on the screen like it did with my old S-9. Just one button pushed and it would appear. The doc switched me to BIPAP mode after last study. I got two days ago a respironics dream station that I liked. Showed daily AHI, weekly average and ...

Just got a new BIPAP but don't know how to find the AHI data in the morning. Can anyone help.

Thanks, Jeff
