Re: How can you tell if CPAP is working???

Crap..the Tango is an old brick. No data. Nothing to help us figure out if there is maybe something in your therapy itself that needs to be improved to maybe let you feel and sleep better. Any extra cash laying around to maybe go towards a gently used full data better machine??? I just got paid & d...

Re: How can you tell if CPAP is working???

Ok, so I checked & I have a Resmed Tango. No humidifier. Looks like it's discontinued. I tried to update my equipment profile but it's not listed. I don't have insurance right now. I'm waiting for November to sign up on the marketplace. So I can't see any real specialists or get better equipment (as...

Re: Does sleep apnea make you feel poisoned?

Also...5 hours of sleep...simply not enough. I hardly ever sleep more than 2-5 hours at a time. With or without CPAP. I can just tell nobody is taking it very seriously. They made a huge deal out of my high blood pressure & worked real hard for months to find the right drugs & dosage to bring it un...

Does sleep apnea make you feel poisoned?

Does sleep apnea make you feel poisoned or drugged? I've been looking through my medical records & it keeps repeating "patient complaining about fatigue". Fatigue doesn't sound severe enough & doesn't accurately describe how I feel. They know I have severe sleep apnea yet they only put down "fatigue...

" . . . the thin "rubber" broke . . ." [Really silicone] Most masks have REPLACEABLE cushions/pillows--usually only that PART needs replacement. Often no Rx required. Especially less pricey bought online--cpap.com, craigslist, etc. Getting used to cpap may take a while--keep trying--it can SAVE YOU...

Re: How can you tell if CPAP is working???

I'll post more info soon, I'm not home right now to see what machine I'm using. I don't have insurance right now, I hav...

How can you tell if CPAP is working???

If I'm sitting or standing upright I can breath through my nose. As soon as I lay down my nose swells completely closed. Any idea what would cause this? All the doctors I've been to have no idea. My CPAP keeps my nose free & clear so that's the main reason I use it. But as far as treating my severe ...
