Hi, I have been using the Resmed N 30i nasal cushion but they sent me a “new” design of the cushion with Quiet Air vents and I felt like I could not breath. I just ordered a Sleepweaver cloth mask...has anyone tried this, and if so, how did you like it?

I was advised to switch to regular autopap versus the “for her” mode by Pugsy and it has made a big difference. Reduced my flow limits and am doing better in all other ways. I do not snore much but apparently needed more pressure and the “for her” mode was not responding to what I needed. My minimum...

Hi Peaceanna! I am a fairly new to all this myself-5 months in, nearly. It takes awhile to get used to having a machine blow air up your nose all night. I have been 100% compliant out of fear because of drastic symptoms despite being diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. You will learn a lot from experie...

I feel good, nearly back to my old self. I was wondering about going to 12 but for now will just see how it goes. I was having episodes of increased heart rate, which I have not had in a few weeks, and for sure have not had since I changed the mode. My Pcp thought there was something about the press...

Re: per advice from Ms. Pugsy, I changed my mode from "For Her" to regular Autopap mode. It does seem like the flow limits are reduced, although I did see on another post that flow limits appear worse on "For Her". Anyway, it seems I am much improved on this different mode for whatever reason, so th...

I bought my F model on Amazon for 86 dollars. It works great, and I am able to upload it to Oscar. It is very user friendly.

You are exactly right, chunkyfrog. Too many patients to do adequate follow up and so many new patients to order sleep studies on for the real money. I finally convinced them to order an overnight oximetry and all they gave me for a report was that my oxygen dropped several times but not long enough ...

Hmmmm. Well, could be worth trying. The sleep clinic was none to thrilled that I changed my own minimum pressure from 9 to 10 because I saw on Oscar data that I still had OAs. Then the NP agreed I wasn’t wrong to change it and increased it to 11 at my request. I am an NP myself, but have not had exp...

No, what could that do, and how would I change it?

hi, I am a few months in to therapy and am trying to optimize my pressures on my own, as the sleep medicine clinic is not really helping me. I am now on APAP 11-15 and I have not had an OA in several days and now mostly have CA or H. Can anyone tell me if there are any other changes that might help ...

Don’t get discouraged. It may take up to six months to feel better. I am four months in myself and other than not waking up multiple times with an increased heart rate anymore, or rarely. (Still titrating my pressures with Oscar software) I have not noticed a drastic change. I was not really that ti...

Update- so happy I found this forum and learned about the Oscar program. I purchased an SD card reader, uploaded my sd card from my cpap and on the night I had my overnight oximetry, 6 episodes of O2 sat <88% I had 6 obstructive apneas. My settings were changed from 5-15 to 10-15 and I only rarely h...

I have been thinking of the possibility of a power failure as well. I live in Texas, and while we don’t have too much severe weather, we have had ice or severe cold a few times which could result in a several day outage. We are considering a generator with multiple fuel options or at least being abl...

Hi, I am new to the forum and a fairly new Cpap user. (3mo) I have had an increased heart rate, up to the 90s once or twice per night. I do not have it every night. I bought a zzoma pillow to keep myself on my side, which does not seem to affect it. I turned off the ramp except first five min. I tur...
