Do you have allergies, a stuffy nose? What kind of climate do you live in? I myself have horrible allergies and live in a dry high mountain climate. When my allergies really flare my horrible nasal congestion causes me to mouth breath and the cpap air rushing through my nasal mask and passages and o...

I guess I got my priesthood! Send tithes to 'c/o van down by the river'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-QnPVEpmmo Obviously he surfs here and searches on terms 'Lanky' 'Lefty' 'Jason'. Can't say I blame him, this stuff is his life... dare I say he 'lives and breathes' CPAP? I couldn’t make it th...

This is the ticket should you go for O2 enrichment: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/oxygen-enrichment-adapter 5$! I'd like to have one in my bag just in case. Unfortunately it shows to be out of stock at our sponsor. Amazon has several alternatives. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=o2+enrichment+device+...

ResMed hasn't put making the Oxygen compatible heated hose at the top of their "to do" list yet. Yes...they have one for the AirSense/AirCurve 10 models but haven't done it yet for the AirSense/AirCurve 11 models yet. I don't really have an answer to your main question. That sort of stuff is kinda ...

Wondering if anyone can offer an opinion on my dad’s overnight oximetry. This was done while using CPAP at an elevation of about 6500’. Unfortunately he has a really messed up back and shoulders and says he was awake much of the night with pain. Still waiting to hear from his doctor but my guess loo...

Bravo to you for taking such amazing care of your dad, I relate to how difficult it is. Definitely get that SD card, those who are more knowledgeable than me can give you some good advice after seeing the data. I wonder about the sudden change after your dad’s fall and the sudden onset of the severe...

I am getting a bit burned out. Same old questions, same old responses and same old bull shit. No one bothers to really research their problems or potential solutions. Same old know it alls that think that the world should revolve around them and their thoughts. I haven't seen a new problem in years...

This hands down is the best sleep apnea forum because of the handful of incredibly knowledgeable contributors who volunteer their time. The increasing bugs are nearly intolerable, I hope the owners of the forum will invest in fixing the problem's. I’m sure it’s not a cheap endeavor, but without the ...

Thank you.... I never knew I was tired and hubby never said anything nor did he ever notice me waking up gasping for air cause I didn't. I am seeing a therapist online and he has helped me a little. I just don't see him again for several weeks. I haven't lost weight cause I never felt a reason to. ...

Many of us have shared similar feelings when starting on their CPAP journey. I felt a bit embarrassed when I first started, but my worries were unfounded. My hubby appreciates having a more rested, energetic wife. He’s also happy to no longer be awoken by my snoring and gasping for air all night lon...

Wondering what tips and tricks you all can recommend to battle the insomnia beast. I’m sure we all have different factors that contribute to insomnia. Things that contribute to my insomnia include back pain, allergies, and life stresses. For my back pain I use a TENS unit and heat. I take a number o...

First of all, please keep partisanship and politics out of this thread. It's not about that. Multiple reports say that Donald Trump is falling asleep in court; sometimes for up to fifteen minutes at a time. We should be questioning whether he has a sleep disorder, such as Sleep Apnea or Narcolepsy....

Looks like you had a pretty good workup, what where the results of the Actigraphy and MSLT your sleep study references? Have you had any further testing to look for other issues that could explain your brain fatigue? How does your mask fit? Sometimes a poor fitting mask can cause dry eyes. Do you ha...

I hope not.

A pacemaker isn’t something you should attempt to manage yourself, it’s complex and needs to be analyzed by a cardiac electrophysiologist.

Definitely not something you should manage on your own, even with the help of random people on the internet;)

Do you know what is causing the back pain? Muscle, bone, arthritis, strain??????? I have had allergy shots but many, many years ago. They helped tremendously. I forget just how long it took but it was many months for sure of once a week shots that I gave to myself. Thanks Pugsy! For the back pain I...
