Re: Need Advice on possibly stopping treatment
I'm attaching two nights from Sleepyhead, these are very "normal" nights for me. Again I'm not trying to talk myself out of using my machine, I just want to make sure I understand as much as I can about whats going on. I did not ask the Dr to stop, I thought she'd want to look at my settings, possi...

Re: Need Advice on possibly stopping treatment
Screen Shot 2018-04-20 at 2.52.52 PM.png Attached should be a copy of my sleep study if that would help. Thank you all so far for your advice. I do want to restate that it is my Dr that is telling me to stop, its not something I just decided to to because I don't like it. I've been fully committed ...

Need Advice on possibly stopping treatment
I was diagnosed in March with an AHI of 15, moderate SA, went on APAP in April struggled quite a bit until finally the last 5 + months sleeping mostly through the night (AHI always less that one, most times zero to one event, average pressure 8 - 9). Have felt no benefits, in fact I would not use th...

Re: Is this all normal ...
Thank you for the responses, I will post a sleepyhead graph when I get it organized for a good screen shot. I took a night off yesterday and had a solid 8 hours sleep, it feels wonderful. Tonight I'll try the machine again now that I feel a bit recharged. I'm going to focus on humidity as my sore th...

Is this all normal ...
This is day 24 for me. Have only managed to fall asleep 3 times so far although I try for at least an hour nightly. Of the nights I’ve slept the longest was 4 hours, I somehow remove the mask and turn off the machine without any memory. I have had a sore throat and stuffy ears the whole time, now I ...

Re: Puffy eyes
I’m hoping someone answers your question as I have the same issue, I’m new to this and today was the first time I noticed my eyes. I now have a dark puffiness that’s new since starting CPAP.

Re: Opinion of home sleep studies
I’ve been complaining to my Drs for years about being so tired constantly, all blood tests look good, the only thing left to test it seems was my sleep. I’ve always been a really good sleeper in that I fall asleep quickly and stay asleep all night so I didn’t think sleep apnea would be the problem. ...

Opinion of home sleep studies
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea with a home oxomitry test. Based on that test my family Dr ordered CPAP therapy. (That’s the extent of the information provided to me) I’ve been doing a lot of reading to learn more about sleep apnea etc.. and I’ve read articles that say the type of test I had is not...

Re: Advice needed, 5 days in can't sleep
Thank you all for the advice. I did as suggested and set my ramp starting pressure to 6 (10 min) and then the actual pressure to a minimum of 8. This felt so much better, I didn't feel like I was constantly suffocating. I still can't manage to fall asleep and after two hours I just removed my mask t...

Advice needed, 5 days in can't sleep
Hi All, Was recently diagnosed, have had my machine (Resmed AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her) about a week. The full face mask doesn't seem to bother me too much and I've used it to watch TV etc.. to get used to it. When I try to actually sleep though I just can't seem to fall asleep, when I finally star...
