Re: Auto Bipap vs Fixed Bipap
Thanks now with your help I remember she made the change for altitude reasons. I think I will switch back to auto bipap and try to find a narrow range for the settings. I'll post SH data once I'm comfortable with my new settings. Thanks so much for the help!

Re: Auto Bipap vs Fixed Bipap
Agreed, but at the time I didn't know enough to understand or ask question. I'm preparing for my next appointment.

Re: Auto Bipap vs Fixed Bipap
I did I can't remember what she said, but I know I wasn't really happy with it. I got a feeling Auto takes a little more time to fine tune the settings.

Day time xpap benefits
Are there benefits to cpap/bipap therapy with breathing and oxygen levels during the day?
My lung capacity feels like it has greatly increased since I've started bipap therapy.

New machines?
Thinking of getting a second bipap. I wonder if I wait for a new model to be released or buy used. How often do Philips and Resmed release new models?

Re: Noisy Dreamwear Gel Pillows keeps waking me up
I also own a wisp. I find it very comfortable, but very loud for me. I sleep on my side and stomach and the air hitting the sheets is very loud.

Re: Noisy Dreamwear Gel Pillows keeps waking me up

Dreamstation modem
How does my doctor read data from my dreamstation sd card? I never configure it for wifi, but I did download dreammapper on my phone. I have a phone consult and won't be sending in the SD card.
