So here are the last 4 nights I've had: 1) Do the numbers besides obstructive sleep apneas on sleepyhead when i scroll over them mean I wasnt breathing for that many seconds? 2) anything I can do to fix obstructive sleep apneas? 3) can i expect better results continuing my therapy? like more energy...

Re: CPAP Help: Feel suffocation.

I ended up turning off the RAMP feature because I was wondering why my pressure was starting at 4.0 and not 8.2 with a max of 20.0 like I had put on the settings. 4.0 was suffocating me!

And yes I did turn off the machine during that call. At least I think I did. But I was completely awake.

Thanks!

do you think mouthbreathing all night with the dreamwear full face mask will affect my therapy’s effect on making me feel better?
Well, ya know, the point of a FFM is so that you can breathe through your mouth, should you desire to.
so it should be as effective as breathing through my nose

Re: CPAP Help: Feel suffocation.

Don't forget to change your mask choice selection from nasal to full face. to the op-excuse me, i'm trying to learn something, so i need to butt in here. :lol: pugsy, is this only on the op's machine that you need to select mask type? Resmeds's have a 'mask type', Respironics copied that and called...
