Re: FACE MASK LEAKING/WAKING ME UP

My doctor said that the Titration sleep study was going to be more expensive then the Auto CPap and that the Auto will give me what I need, so that is what he recommended. He had to give them a range for me to order the machine, so he set if for 5-20 for pressure, even though the machine should work...

Re: FACE MASK LEAKING/WAKING ME UP

No LSAT, My machine tells me in the morning what my pressure was during the night, and it shows for 90% of the time I was at 20, my max for the last two days.

FACE MASK LEAKING/WAKING ME UP

Hi all. I am having some problems with my full face mask (Amara Gel Face CPAP Mask and Headgear). I have an auto Dream Station cpap and I have been spending 90% of the time at 17-18 for pressure. The last few nights, I have been at 20 for pressure, which is the max that my machine is set for. What h...

Re: TOO MUCH PRESSURE CAN'T SLEEP, TOO LOW, HIGH AHI?

. . . I am a mouth breather. . . . Tammye I don't think I do 100% of the time, but I would say mouth breathing at 70-80 percent, because I snore really loud. I am getting used to the face mask a little better, which is a huge relief. I had an AHI of 47, but for the last three days it has been 13, 1...

Re: TOO MUCH PRESSURE CAN'T SLEEP, TOO LOW, HIGH AHI?

I felt like I could breathe better with the lower settings, but mask is hard too get used to, so I guess that could be it. The setting was at 5 before I lowered it. I do have the ramp on and the time is 45 minutes. Another question: If I have the ramp time set at 45 min. Does this reset every time I...

TOO MUCH PRESSURE CAN'T SLEEP, TOO LOW, HIGH AHI?

I am having all sorts of trouble with getting used to my Dreamstation auto machine. I wear of full mask as I am a mouth breather. The first night I could only wear it for 2 hours and felt like I was hyperventilation when I tried to breathe out and too much pressure was going in. The second night, I ...

Re: How Long Did it Take?

I need some encouragement. I just started my cpap last night and I could only wear it for two hours. First off I started getting a headache and pressure around my cheeks. I could not fall asleep. Once the air pressure started to ramp up, I felt like I was hyperventilating as I could not breathe out....
