Thanks Pugsy I fear that might be the case with me as well. I’m going to try it with a nasal strip to see if that can keep my nostrils open otherwise I’ll be looking for a new mask tomorrow. I do quite like this one compared to the big bulky nasal mask they gave me at the sleep study. I use the bre...

mask fitting team For some reason that struck me as funny. There's a vision of you sitting in a windowless room alone for twenty minutes. Then suddenly, eleven people surround you and begin working on you. Good luck getting out with everything intact! I know.. when she said " mask fitting team" i w...

so after lackluster visit with a sleep Dr i waited almost 2 months to see ( info posted above) and getting no answers except she wants me tested in her lab and possibly put on a Bi level machine. i went to see my 3rd doctor, I really liked her, the visit lasted over an hour and she asked tons of que...

My new sleep doctor wants me to be seen by her mask fitting team... i wonder if they have this

This just started a week ago , every night so far

I have an interesting new problem I go to sleep with the machine on but wake up during the night to find The the machine off and the hose unhooked from the mask, sometimes it's just laying on the bed other times it's hooked on the bedside hook I put up for it. I find that I have been sleeping betwee...

I'm a side sleeper.. So that may be an issue

Thanks

I am sort of in agreement with your PCP...I don't think that your issues are solely caused by sleep apnea but I have no idea what the other potential culprits might be. As for 2 sleep studies missing a "seizure"...wouldn't be impossible especially if you don't have them every night.....but I tend t...

I have no idea if you would benefit from a bilevel machine or not. Technically if you aren't having any issues with this machine and these pressures then probably not needed but would you like the ability to have a larger difference between inhale and exhale than you can get now with Flex exhale re...

So....how many hours of sleep are you averaging now? Are those hours of sleep fragmented much? Still having trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep and dealing with highly fragmented sleep? Take any meds ...even OTC? If so, what? I get between 6-7 hours, some days I get 6 straight but then I f...
