Re: Leak with dreamwear nasal mask
Hi. I'm no expert and have only been on cpap for a month, but I do use the same cushion. I get leaks until I get it just right, then no problem. I can think of 3 things that could be the problem... one is how old is the cushion? Also, have you tried the small size? You can get them inexpensively on ...

Re: Tea Tree Oil
That's an antihistamine. It does nothing for congestion. Essential oils are chemicals as well.chunkyfrog wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 8:59 amLoratadine 10 mg at bedtime is all I need.

Re: Tea Tree Oil
Sure I'll get flamed, but i'd def recommend trying it out! Hopefully, PA051 and you will just be ignored. Have either of you ever heard of Allergists, ENTs and modern medicine? Hey there, Not sure why you are singling me out there. There is nothing wrong with a steam tent of eucalyptus! Good grief....

Re: Additional humidifier
I haven't done that, but I think it's a great idea and I'm going to try it. Can't hurt, right?

Re: Tea Tree Oil
I get congested tooooo.. especially this time of year from ragweed. Please don't breath in tea tree all night. It's not a good idea. I had been using eucalyptus oil near my air intake and loved it-- but I started waking up with a fast heartbeat. It took me about a week to find out that eucalyptus oi...

Re: Newbie question about nasal cushion
Hi. I have been using an apap for about a month now, and according to the machine I only have 0.1-0.4 apneas per night. I was at 29 an hour in my sleep study. I do feel better, but my question is about the mask. I have the dreamwear nasal cushion. It's comfortable- no problems with it. However, sin...

Re: Newbie question about nasal cushion
Seems your pressure setting works well, and your mask solution is also matched well, with a low enough pressure you can’t readily detect a difference from regular non-machine air delivery. That’s great if it all works that way! If your pressure ramps up from a minimum, the minimum is hard to sense ...

Re: Newbie question about nasal cushion
On the machine I have, if you shut it off with the mask on, you can really feel that it's off. When it's on I breath easily, often I don't really even notice that it's on, but when I shut it off I can feel how much harder it suddenly becomes to breath. Ok, yes I do feel like I'm going to suffocate ...
