Re: First night not so good.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and encouragement. The last couple of nights have not been great, but better. I did turn the starting pressure up to 7 which helped and if I felt like I couldn't breathe a couple deep breaths helped me keep the mask on. I made it 5 hours the 2nd night and a little...

First night not so good.

I was only able to keep the mask on for about 90 mins last night. I would start to feel like I couldn't breathe and rip the mask off to catch my breath. I did that a few times and after the last time just turned it off. I will try it again tonight of course and hopefully I can at the very least wear...

Re: Picking up equipment today.

I will get that added and thanks for all the replies. Pugsy I just watched the video you linked and glad I did. Makes me feel better about my choice and hopeful I can still sleep in a position I am comfortable in.

Re: Picking up equipment today.

Resmed Air 10 it says on the bottom. I also downloaded the app which I guess will give me information about how things are going.

Re: Picking up equipment today.

Got my equipment. The lady that helped me was really great explaining everything. I have the resmed 10 and decided to try the respironics dreamware after trying several masks. I found it the most comfortable. I can switch it out within 30 days if I dont like it though I imagine I will need to try if...

Re: Picking up equipment today.

Thanks so much for the replies. There is so much to think about and I am feeling pretty overwhelmed at the moment. I am sure that is not uncommon. I have not had a 2nd study to determine pressure and I am actually not sure if it is an apap. The doctor did mention she is able to get info from the mac...

Re: Picking up equipment today.

I would suggest looking at this one when considering full face masks.. It's very new to the market. The Respironics DreamWear Full Face mask. It's about as minimal as a person can get on their face. It's the only one that I have ever been able to even sleep with. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/res...

Hello all been reading through some posts and seems to be a lot of great info on here. I am going today to pick up all my stuff for my newly diagnosed severe obstructive sleep apnea. My biggest concern is finding a mask that will work for me. I am a stomach sleeper and from what my doctor told me I ...
