Re: 5 months pregnant and now feel like I'm suffocating with my mask

Thank you all for your replies. I went to my pulmonologist and he told me my average pressure is at 11 and they had my starting at 5. They upped it to 8 and it's been great since... Now I'm just trying to get rid of the horrible reflux/ heartburn that pregnancy has given me..

Re: Another newbie about to have my first night with CPAP

Just to give an update.. I'm feeling a bit gassy but not nearly as bad.. I am also feeling much more rested during the day.. I'm averaging around 7.9hrs of sleep... The last three weeks I've gotten more sleep then the last nine months since my daughter was born and she was sleeping through the night...

Re: Another newbie about to have my first night with CPAP

So I got the dream wear mask three days ago and switched to that and I've had 0 AHIs every day since.. I think I finally found what works for me. I am feeling much clearer during the day and it's glorious!

I've noticed the past two nights I wake up in the middle of the night because I feel my mask start blowing hard and when I look at my machine it's at 10 or 11... Do you think this is due to an episode or the fit of the pi...
