Re: CPAO heated hose for Dream Station 1

My CPAP humidifier is on 5, the highest it will go. Have not purchased the heated tube yet.

CPAO heated hose for Dream Station 1

I keep having nosebleeds from my nose drying out. Having a slight deviated septum and a prominent blood vessel doesn’t help. My ENT had me turn my humidifier to 5. At my last office visit with her, she said to add heated tubing as well, and both would help even more to keep my nasal passage's from d...

Re: CPAP data?

I forgot I posted that when I first received my new CPAP. It has recorded AHI like it should since that post. It’s the past three nights I’ve shown 0 apneas.

CPAP data?

The past 3 nights my CPAP data shows 0 apneas. It’s reading the other data correctly. Is it possible the AHI data is not reading correctly, or I’ve just had 3 great nights? My AHI data is low most all nights but just curious if somehow the AHI is possibly not correct now.

Hypopena Question

The past two nights my AHI has been slightly higher. The increase is with the hypopena. Nothing drastic but curious as to the cause of an increase in them. Most days my AHI score is way under 1 with very little obstructive if any and usually low central’s and hypopena’s. As I said, just wondering ab...

Just received replacement CPAP from recall

Good morning. I received my replacement CPAP Dream Station two days ago. I have used it two nights now. Both nights show I’ve had 0 apneas. I am wondering if there’s a problem with the data recording properly. It records the hours used correctly and the correct disconnects. I did have a low apnea sc...

Re: Nose bleeds and humidifier

Since I’ve quit using the heat on the humidifier I haven’t had a nosebleed. However, I think that may simply be because I am keeping my nose moist with Saline spray and AYR and that’s the reason and it’s not having the heat off. Definitely makes sense that the heat on is a good thing and the ENT is ...

Nose bleeds and humidifier

Due to having nosebleeds my ENT said not to use the heat on the humidifier. that it would dry my nasal passage out even more. In discussing this with someone, they said that if I didn’t turn the heat on, then the humidifier on the CPAP was not helping anything. So, I wanted to get answers from peopl...

Re: Mask leaving bad imbedded marks!

I did go back and read it. Thanks. I thought I recalled that you used the Bleep. I’ll check into it since I’m not willing to give in to the marks on my face.

Re: Mask leaving bad imbedded marks!

I have the strap marks too, but I was talking more about the lines being made by the mask pushing on my face. I have very noticeable marks going all kinds of ways on the sides of my face. It’s like when you lay on your sheets or something and they leave an impression. Except these marks aren’t going...

Mask leaving bad imbedded marks!

Advise please! My full face mask and sleeping on my sides is leaving major lines in my face. If I sleep on my back, I have lots of obstructive, so the side is the best position. I know with age(I’m 63) comes wrinkles and skin issues, but this is obvious marks from the mask, that do not go away. Side...
