Re: Still having problems
Hi, Again, many thanks to those who have taken the trouble to reply and offer help. I've tried to attach the files from my machine's SD card which I uploaded via Sleepyhead. This is the only file that would attach. With regards to nose masks. I did try (very briefly) nose vs full face masks when I w...

Re: Still having problems
Firstly, thanks for the replies. They are much appreciated. Secondly, apologies for the rant. I have Asperger's Syndrome, so when I get frustrated my thoughts often just pour out in a tidal flood and it isn't easy to organize them, but if I try to break the flow to organize they get jumbled. I hadn'...

Still having problems
I'm over a month in and some things are easier but there are still persistent problems. I have just sent back the SD card to the provider to assess my progress. My main issue is that I drive public service vehicles and cannot resume work until cleared. My compliance rate has dropped off from six hou...

Re: anxiety to masks and the forced air
Thanks for posting this, it (and the responses) have helped me with my issues. I think with me I assumed the difficulties were due to my history, but they actually seem quite common for many starting this therapy. I'm sticking to it, but my breakthrough was when I realized the treatment was for my b...

Re: O/T children being hunted
I'm in two minds making a comment on this, as I live outside of the US and I'm not political. I have lived in the US, however, about twenty years ago for several years. I never owned a gun, although my friend from the UK did. My feeling was that I would not be able to shoot first, and that by holdin...

Re: Feeling suffocated through night
Hi. Many thanks again for the really detailed help. Apologies if I've not given enough info., it's a bit difficult to judge what info is needed, as it's all quite new. I think Pugsy cleared up the confusion with the humidifier/water tank - thanks!. Good news is that the NHS Sleep Clinic in Leeds is ...

Re: Trouble Breathing in the Morning
Hi. This sounds very similar to the sensation I was trying to describe in my post on Thursday. I described it as a kind of suffocating feeling. It happens to me in the morning after sleeping quite happily for a while with the machine. It either wakes me up and I just feel I can't breathe and have to...

Re: Feeling suffocated through night
Thanks, for the positive comments and suggestions, I didn't expect any replies so quickly. I will try and check settings, the hospital set up my machine, but I've got the manual and should be able to work round that. I do feel better when the pressure starts to increase and don't mind the cool air s...

Feeling suffocated through night
Hi guys (and gals). I'm a user from England. I have had the machine 7 nights and I'm experiencing two major problems. The machine is a ResMed Air10 and I use Autoramp settings, but don't have humidifier. I'm really keen to use the machine, and the results in terms of the apnea seem great. My initial...
